Our two FAVORITE protein breakfast recipes EVER!

Protein for breakfast is the best way to kick start your morning. Research suggests it can reduce silly snacking habits and help control appetite throughout the day. If you skip breakfast more often than you eat breakfast then make a blender your new best friend. For those that skip breakfast our first protein recipe is the perfect choice for you. If you like to eat something in a morning before leaving the house then recipe #2 is perhaps more up your street.

The two recipes are our absolute favorite because they require just a few ingredients. Some protein recipes are just too complex. We like easy to make protein recipes for their convenience factor. Plus if you plan to make these recipes a daily habit, which we would recommend, then you don’t want something that has tons of ingredients, requires lots of preparation and different steps; otherwise the habit simply won’t stick.
