Weekly Check In

Wednesday December 4th

Hey Reader! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving if you are reading from the United States. I took a week off last week because I did not want to participate in the overloading of your inbox (your welcome). I figured my email would just get lost in all of those Black Friday emails.

Since when did Black Friday turn into a week? It used to be one day and now it seems like it is a 2-week affair!

Anyways, I am back this week to share with you my go to high protein breakfast. It checks all of the boxes - quick, easy, customizable, high protein, high fiber, filling and most importantly tasty.

Here is the basic recipe:

1/2 cup high protein yogurt (I like the Greek Yogurt from Kite Hill or use my own homemade soy yogurt)

1 scoop protein powder

2-3 servings of fruit (berries, apples, banana, etc.)

Toppings - granola, cereal, nuts, seeds, etc.

This has over 30 grams of protein and can even be prepped ahead if your mornings are busy.

Yogurt bowl recipes:

Apple Protein Yogurt Bowl. This high protein apple yogurt bowl is a great option for a quick and healthy breakfast on busy mornings. Perfect for meal prep. With 45.5 grams of protein per serving, the high protein content with help to keep you full all morning long.

Weekly Check In Wednesday May 7th Hey Reader! I am a morning person. I pretty much have always been this way. I love everything about it - coffee, sunrises, fresh air, exercise and of course breakfast. If I had to only eat one meal per day, I would choose breakfast. Hand's down. I am a creature of habit and during the week, my breakfast is pretty much the same. I eat the same thing each morning for several reasons: It tastes great, keeps me full for hours, and requires little effort and...
