This breakfast was amazing and was the perfect post workout meal!
It’s packed with protein (41 grams to be exact)🤭💯,fiber, and just the right amount of carbs and fat.
Try this- you will LOVE it and your body will thank you for all of the extra protein. Do you know much protein you should be eating on a daily basis? I will touch on this during my summer workshop next Tuesday, May 30th!
