It’s important to have protein early on in your day, because protein gives you more sustainable energy than carbohydrates. This will help you feel more full before lunch, and help you be more productive at work. You can avoid a mid morning crash, and sets your day off a balanced blood sugar. Here are some of my suggestions to start you off with a power packed protein breakfast!
1.Make an omelet on Sunday. For a healthy version of an omelet, use 1/2 - 1 cup of egg whites, add some low fat, low sodium cheese or try dry curd cottage cheese, add your mixed veggies, some fresh cilantro.
2.Have high fiber cereal with whey+milk on Monday. Some cereals contain added protein. One brand I like is Go Lean Crunch. The protein and fiber will make you feel full longer, and it's sweet, so it tastes great! Add your favorite whey protein powder for more protein. Or a hot cereal using grains such as kamut, spelt or rye flake.
3.Grab a protein bar Tuesday morning if you’re running late. If you're like me, and like to spend zero time getting breakfast ready, have a high protein bar before work. I like VPX's Zero Impact bar its clean whey isolate, and sweet potatoe base with good fats in it ; best because they are slightly larger and have less sugar than some of the other brands, this makes me feel full for longer.
4.Eat cc on Wednesday. You can get traditional, low fat, or fat free cottage cheese. But did you also know there are varieties of cottage cheese that are protein rich foods with added fiber? The two I know of are Fiber One and Bran Buds (I prefer the taste and consistency of the latter).
5. Try a protein smoothie on Thursday for a quickie. Add to the blender your favorite whey isolate, add some ground flax meal or chia seeds, frozen blueberries and even 1/3 avocado for essential fats.
6.Treat yourself to a yogurt/cottage cheese combo on Friday. I like to call it key lime dream; use 1 cup of low fat cottage cheese + 3 tbsp Astro's Lime Yogurt sugar-free, 1 tbsp ground flax or hemp seeds this tastes like key lime cheesecake!
7.Scramble eggs for breakfast on Saturday. Serve with a high fiber slice of toast topped with cottage cheese instead of butter. I like to sprinkle a little cilantro or basil over the cottage cheese for added flavor. And that’s it!
Again, if you start your day of with Protein, this will set you up for a sustained balanced day, you will notice energy is consistent, less sugar cravings, and mentally sharp!
