By: Lisa Odenweller

For those on GLP-1 or medications like Ozempic, weight management can benefit significantly from high-protein meals that keep you full and energized. High-protein snacks and breakfasts stabilize blood sugar, support lean muscle, and are ideal for weight loss.

Here, we’ll share Kroma Wellness recipes that are easy to prepare, high in protein, and perfect for anyone looking to support their wellness journey. Whether you’re meal-prepping for the week or seeking quick snack options, these recipes are nutrient-packed and delicious.

Why High-Protein Meals Are Great for GLP-1 or Ozempic Users

GLP-1 medications work by slowing digestion, leading to prolonged satiety and helping curb overeating. Studies show that incorporating high-protein foods into meals can maximize this effect, reducing cravings and aiding muscle retention during weight loss. High-protein diets are linked with better blood sugar control and increased energy throughout the day, making them an excellent fit for individuals on these medications.
