We are becoming busier and busier as time goes on. The average adult has to get up every day for work and spend more and more time commuting. This is just compounded even more when we add children to the equation. You have to prepare your children for school, put them on the bus, get dressed yourself, and head off to work. This all gives you less and less time to make breakfast at home. And that is not good, because breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day.
A nutritious breakfast helps to give you energy to function throughout your day while also helping you to focus and think clearly. Including protein in your breakfast is one of the best ways to ensure your meal is nutritious. The average breakfast has around 12 grams of protein, but a lot of experts actually recommend you get 25-30 grams of protein at each meal.
You can use high quality protein to actually power up in the morning and carry yourself though to lunch. Below are some high-quality meals you can make extremely quickly and with ease. They are all delicious and can be spiced up with just a little bit of imagination.
