40g protein breakfast pots
Protein packed breakfast ideas are a very popular request. This is a great option that can be versatile in terms of flavours. For me, making ahead my breakfast is a must as I usually have breakfast at the studio after my first client of the day or after teaching a class. Hitting 40g protein with my breakfast alone sets me up for a day with energy, no cravings and properly fuelling for muscle building, hormone support and blood sugar balance.
