High Protein Zucchini Tortilla

Looking for a tortilla that can stand alone as a snack...look no further. This high protein recipe is sure to add some spice and everything nice to your next meal.

Ok guys if you know me I am always trying to get my clients...or me to get more protein in! it's not as easy as it seems especially considering how important protein is as we age, the integrity of the muscle we have and the muscle we want to build.

"I love that this can stay in the fridge for a few days and still tastes delicious-great meal prep option!"

Adding more protein into my day can sometimes feel like a chore. So instead of adding more to my plate - it is easier to replace the things I eat with higher protein options. Another trick is to add high protein options to my snacks. This ensures that I am getting the protein I need.

Why not just replace your regular tortilla with this option. You can add this as a base for a salad at lunch or as a stand alone breakfast or snack. Top it with more veggies or chicken. The options are as endless as your imagination.
