I woke up early this morning craving a Starbucks Protein Plate like you wouldn’t believe! Since that’s not really an option during the holiday, I decided to make a homemade version that’s perfect for Passover.
Starbucks version:
* Hard-Boiled egg
*Apple slices
*Bagel with peanut butter
* Grapes
* Cheese
Passover Version:
* 2 Hard-Boiled eggs (1 is never filling enough)
* Cheese
* Strawberries
* Apple slices
* Matzo with peanut butter
As you can see, I substituted matzo for the bagel and strawberries for the grapes. (I like grapes, but the berries were cheaper and better quality at my store.) I wasn’t sure if this would be as good as Starbucks, but I actually liked it better! I got more food for less money, and I was able to keep Passover. I do prefer bagels to matzo, but I’m willing to make a substitution once a year. These would be a great item to make ahead, maybe 2-3 at once, for quick breakfasts or snacks on the go.
Have you ever make Starbucks knockoffs at home? (This was my first, but I’m planning more.)
MMMM.. I ate so many of those protein plates when I was pregnant with my daughter. I was on a high protein diet, and had to eat 2 eggs a day for almost 9 months.. I needed the variety;)
Sounds yummy! I didn’t even know Starbucks had a protein plate.
Yummmy. Your protein plate looks pretty darn good.
