A delicious breakfast recipe with protein powder

1 Comment

Breakfast, as they say, is in fact the most important meal of the day. However, people often either get bored with the breakfast options or they simply don't have time to chow down on anything before they head out the door. If they knew exactly how breakfast was helping their health, they might make time.

Eating breakfast is essential because after about eight to 12 hours without food, your brain and muscles are depleted of the energy they need to function. The glucose contained in foods as well as other nutrients like vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and protein are what helps to keep you healthy.

Why is protein at breakfast important?
Breakfast also aids in controlling body weight and may keep you from overeating later. Think about it, if you didn't eat breakfast that morning, you're likely going to stuff yourself when it comes lunchtime – squashing the myth that skipping breakfast makes you lose weight. If you choose food in the morning that is packed with protein, you'll be helping your body even further. A protein-rich breakfast can not only keep you full longer, it can help with improved concentration and focus, whether you're at work or taking a test. The amino acids produce neurotransmitters, which are an important part of the brain's communication system.

Thankfully, your morning protein meal has been shown to help with weight control. It helps keep you full throughout the day, so that you're not grabbing for empty calories. Check out this delicious banana bread protein muffin recipe from @dashingdish that will make you look forward to breakfast again. Not only is it super easy to grab when you're on the go, it's filled with seven grams of protein, two grams of fiber and only 58 calories per serving.

Banana Bread Protein Muffins

Ingredients:

¾ cup egg whites
¾ cup ripe banana
¾ cup oats
½ cup plain low fat Greek yogurt
2 scoops Naturade Total Soy vanilla protein powder

4. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
