Power Up your Breakfast with Protein

Help your clients start fueling early in the day.  Some research shows that higher protein in the morning helps control hunger, as well as cravings for carbs and sugar.  Getting in adequate protein in the morning can be tricky as the American diet is heavy on carb fueled breakfasts (or no breakfast at all). 

This handout includes: 

• the research behind why protein helps in the morning –
• six unique recipes – that are easy to read and follow to get started. 
• recipes are carb controlled, ~ 30 g protein, and many are heart healthy (see descriptors on recipes).
