We Don’t Have to Resort to Protein Powders to Top Up Our Pro

Ingrédients

Having a higher protein breakfast can really help to balance appetite, mood, energy as well as helping to reduce food cravings throughout the morning. This means that eating a balanced breakfast can naturally help us maintain our weight more easily, well nourishing us at the same time. It’s not about eating less, it’s about eating smarter.

You can increase your morning protein easily by choosing your ingredients carefully.

Chia seeds are a fantastic source of prebiotic soluble fibre which nourishes are gut microbes and encourages them to flourish.

Having a diverse Microbiome is beneficial not only for our gut health but our gut microbiome can also have far reaching benefits to our overall health.

I know I bang on about this all the time, but choosing a yoghurt that has around 10g of protein hundred grams as well as live bacteria, is also really supportive for our health and satiety. Choosing higher protein yogurt will probably keep you full up for longer and reduce the need to snack between meals. It’s not that snacking is bad for us, it’s just that when we snack, we often choose foods are higher in carbohydrates and sugars and foods that are often not as nutrient dense as the foods we choose at meals.

Adding in blueberries gives us a good dose of polyphenols which have been shown to increase numbers of lactobacillus bacteria in the gut. Polyphenols are also powerful antioxidants which support the bodies natural defence mechanisms.

This breakfast can be quick to prepare, but I do recommend allowing the chia seeds to soak before consuming them as they can absorb a lot of liquid. 30 mins should be enough time.

Top with some peanut or almond butter and enjoy. ❤️❤️

if you can’t have dairy, don’t panic.! You can use a soy Greek yogurt which is higher in protein and this case you absolutely can add in a vegan protein powder such as @formnutrition performance protein as a top up. You can find this in my link bio under the Healf link.
