In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, finding the time to prepare a nutritious meal can sometimes feel like an impossible task. For women juggling multiple roles and responsibilities, a quick and high-protein breakfast can make all the difference. Today, I bring you a wholesome and delicious recipe that not only caters to your protein needs but may also takes your gut health into consideration.
Why Choose Clean Protein?
After experiencing burnout and sensitivity to certain ingredients, I embarked on a quest to find the cleanest and most gut-friendly sources of protein. My journey led me to grass-fed whey protein (or collagen protein), a pure and nourishing option that has become a staple in my diet. Unlike conventional proteins laden with artificial sweeteners, grass-fed whey provides me with the protein boost I need without any unwanted side effects (that I have experienced).
Gut-Friendly Ingredients
Grass-fed Whey Protein and Greek Yogurt
Grass-fed whey protein not only meets my protein requirements but also agrees with my digestive system, leaving me feeling light and energized. Pairing it with whole fat Greek yogurt adds a creamy texture and a dose of healthy fats, while avoiding the bloating that often accompanies low-fat alternatives.
Chia Seeds Pudding
One of the stars of this recipe is chia seeds pudding. By soaking chia seeds in water overnight, you create a nutritious and fiber-rich base. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, chia pudding is a gut-friendly choice that supports your overall well-being.
Flavorful Additions
To elevate the taste and nutritional profile of this protein-packed breakfast, I sprinkle in some chopped apples, sweet raisins, and a hint of cinnamon. A dash of maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness without triggering any gut issues, thanks to the absence of additional sweeteners in the protein powder.
