Quick Healthy Breakfast Hacks
We know that highlighting protein at breakfast keeps our blood sugar more stable throughout the day—but how can we easily add more without cooking?
I am not the one who wakes up and just wants to get out the cookware most days. In fact, I actually only own ONE pot and one pan and I’m telling myself it’s because I’m minimalist and not just lazy.
LISTEN. These three things I’m about to tell you have changed my mornings completely. I am chronically the girl who drinks coffee before eating anything, sometimes I forget in the mornings entirely (my hormones are screaming). Anyways, I’ve concocted three go to *meals* yes one is coffee come at me every nutritionist.
Here we go.
Sunrise Berry Bowl with Hempseed
Hempseeds have 10 grams of COMPLETE protein (all amino acids) per two tablespoons! I take berries and put a paleo chocolate muffin (this one is Soozie’s and it has 12 grams of protein) next to them, mash it up a bit and pour a bit of almond milk over it. Then I just pour the hempseeds over the top of it and voila! ~24 grams of protein in less than five minutes.
Collagen Protein Coffee
The four major components of a balanced morning are coffee, fats, protein and carbs. Yes that’s science., kind of.
So I’ve created the funday four coffee.
To start, brew your favorite organic coffee. You’re going to use either grass fed butter or whatever milk you want and we’re also using coconut sugar (low glycemic).
The star of this drink is Vital Protein Collagen. This is my favorite because you Cannot. Taste. It. Also, it has 18 grams of protein in two scoops.
So it goes like this, sugar, collagen, coffee then milk or butter. Use a handheld frother to blend it up and top it with cinnamon (for prosperity and also flavor) BAM. A balanced coffee. ~20 grams of protein
Green Groovy Smoothie
I’m not the best at making up names. But this smoothie is SO nice when you’re feeling groggy. It has ginger in it for a little zing.
All you need is kale (I like Dino kale), ginger, frozen pineapple, vanilla protein powder, maca powder (for hormone support), fresh mint, hempseeds (three tbsps) and almond milk. (I like Malk because they don’t use fillers)
Blend and enjoy!
~30 grams of protein
