5 amazingly delicious protein packed breakfast ideas
Hey BuBu Squad!
Breakfast is by far my favorite meal of the day. I mean there are so many delish options. I used to be an egg sandwich kind of girl. Eggs are definitely my favorite. But as more as I learned through my healthy lifestyle and workout journey the more, I realized that protein was the way to go. Meaning more proteins vs. carbs. Now, this doesn't mean you aren't allowed to eat carbs. But if you want to focus on muscle gain and fat loss, you have to increase your protein intake. Starting with a protein-rich breakfast is ideal for fueling your muscles and give you the energy to tackle your day and your workout. Now, most people tend to have more carbs for breakfast but protein is a much better option.
Muscles contain a lot of protein. When protein is digested, it is broken down into amino acids. These amino acids can then be used to build new protein.
As many of us know protein doesn’t always have to come from meat. There are a lot of vegan-friendly sources of protein like beans and nuts. My secret weapon is the delicious complete plant-based protein packs. They can go in almost any meal and provide a boost of plant-based protein. These are my go-to protein-packed breakfast recipes
