Four Protein-Packed Breakfasts
Five minutes or LESS!
Never leave your house without eating a nutritious, filling breakfast. I’ve always loved breakfast. While studying nutrition I learned the long list of benefits that come with it!
I have been mad about teaching it to my girls, friends, and clients, or anyone who will listen. Starting your day with a breakfast packed with lean protein is a WIN for so many reasons!
Research shows that protein at breakfast helps build new muscle and bone cells, as well as boosting your immunity. It slows the release of the hormone ghrelin, which triggers feelings of hunger. Consuming protein at breakfast also increases the release of satiety hormones, helping you feel fuller for longer!
Protein for Muscle Growth & Weight Loss
Protein is also necessary for tissue repair and muscle growth. It helps your body recover after an intense workout. Another study found that increasing protein to 25% of total calories reduced late-night snacking by half and obsessive thoughts about food by 60%.
Simple, Sweet Flourless Pancakes
Ingredients:
One egg
One smashed banana
Instructions:
Mix and cook like a pancake.
No need for syrup! The banana gives it a subtle, yummy sweet.
I like to top it with Greek yogurt, a swirl of honey, and a sprinkle of macadamia nuts for some healthy fat
Veggie-Packed Gourmet Egg Scramble
I love truffle oil and it’s the perfect final touch on this breakfast! In addition to their distinct taste and aroma, truffles are also rich in antioxidants and possess antibacterial, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Ingredients:
Naan Bread
Handful of arugula
Half a tomato, chopped
Truffle Oil (I got this from Amazon!)
Two eggs
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
Toast the Naan bread
Top with arugula & tomato
Scramble the eggs
Place eggs on top of arugula & tomato
Drizzle with Truffle Oil, salt, & LOTS of pepper
Superfood Smoothie From Shakeology
Shakeology is my nutrition insurance for the day. It helps me banish bloat, boosts my immune system, and gives my body essential nutrients. It’s high octane fuel I can insert anywhere in my day!
There are a MILLION products on the market, but in my opinion Shakeology is top notch. I put my name behind this product as a fitness professional almost 9 years ago, & I still stand by it today. I have watched my kids, my husband, & so many of my clients benefit!
For me It’s ONE LESS decision to make each day. I feel fueled with the perfect amount of protein, superfoods, vitamins and minerals.
Let me know if you want to try, I’m happy to share.
My Favorite Shakeology Recipe
I make mine every day in a blender with vanilla Shakeology, a banana, peanut butter, loads of ice, and water. I love using frozen banana to make it smooth, creamy, and add a bit of sweetness. The organic peanut butter I use only has two ingredients, (salt & peanuts) and that healthy fat lends to better absorption of all those superfoods.
If I want even more protein I’ll use organic soy milk instead of water.
