For some people, hitting their protein goal for the day is easy peasy!
For others, they aren’t sure how to get it all in.
And for those who struggle to hit their protein quota, they’re often neglecting a prime time to get a good chunk of it in …breakfast!
If you’re someone who typically only grabs a slice of toast, a bagel, or a piece of fruit for breakfast, this is likely why you’re struggling in the protein department.
While those are great carbs, there’s not much protein there.
Try these!
