Why Starting Your Day with Protein Matters (And 5 Quick Recipes to Try)
When it comes to balancing hormones, boosting energy, and staying full through the morning, breakfast is your golden opportunity. But not just any breakfast — one with at least 25 grams of protein.
Why it’s important:
➡️ Supports hormone health: Protein-rich breakfasts help stabilize insulin and cortisol levels.
➡️ Reduces cravings: Starting the day with protein keeps you full longer and helps control blood sugar spikes.
➡️ Boosts metabolism: Protein has a higher thermic effect, meaning your body burns more calories to digest it.
➡️ Supports muscle and mood: Amino acids from protein are essential for muscle maintenance and neurotransmitter production.
