Arnold Schwarzenegger Reveals Preferred High Protein Snack That Can Help You Achieve Your Fitness Goals

According to a study done by the ThinkUSAdairy, almost 36 percent of American adults consume protein bars regularly. But what if the seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger tells you most of them are just “glorified candy bars?“

In the latest edition of Arnie’s newsletter, Arnold’s Pump Club, the former bodybuilder shared a recipe to make your own protein bars. The recipe requires only five minutes of preparation. According to the Austrian Oak, the bars will please your taste buds while still providing enough nutrition to your body. But how does one go about making it?

Arnie reveals a five-minute recipe 

The Austrian Oak listed out all the ingredients required for the recipe created by Chef Dan Churchill. According to the newsletter, one needs to collect two cups of oat flour and two scoops of protein powder (Arnie’s advice). On top of that, you’d need ten pitted Medjool dates, a quarter cup of peanut butter, cacao powder, and one tablespoon of peanuts. Collecting these incidents won’t take you more than five minutes, says the seven-time Mr. Olympia winner.

The recipe requires you to blend the oat flour, protein powder, and Medjool dates. After this, you can add a quarter of peanut butter and cacao powder to the dough. Mixing the dough will be the next step, and then carefully rolling it into two-inch balls. Now comes everyone’s favorite part: dressing the balls. 

Take the cacao powder and dust the protein bars according to your taste. You can directly eat the snacks or refrigerate them for ten minutes to help with consistency. “About two balls make the perfect post-workout snack,“ wrote the Austrian Oak.

If you feel starved or crave anything in the evening, Arnie has a simple yet effective solution for your problem. Can a protein-rich breakfast help you? Let’s find out.

Increasing your morning protein intake helps you fight your evening cravings

In a previous edition of the Austrian Oak’s newsletter, he gave insight into how the first meal of the day is connected to this issue of evening craving. Arnie suggested increasing the protein intake of your first meal of the day, since this will help you fight the cravings and won’t leave you starving in the evening. 

The former Governor of California broke down research done on 10,000 people. He explained. “They found that people who ate a low-protein breakfast ate significantly more food in subsequent meals. But, it wasn’t just how much people ate — it’s what they ate.”

As Arnie time and again reminds his villagers, it is not just about working out, it’s about eating the right way as well. Now that you have the recipe for a better protein bar, will you try it out? Let us know in the comments below.
