19 Sep 8 Tips to Kick Up Protein at Breakfast

Do you struggle to get enough protein at breakfast?

We typically think of breakfast foods as… 

Oatmeal, cereal, fruit, toast, muffins, pancakes, pastries, doughnuts, bagels.

All of these items are lower in protein. 

Protein is valuable in the morning because the human body breaks down and rebuilds muscle throughout the day. 

Protein in the morning helps to keep your blood sugar more stable and energy balanced.

Distributing protein intake evenly across the day helps to maximize the body’s muscle repair and building machinery especially after the age of 30.
