That’s where the savory breakfast comes in.

Ideally, asavory breakfastwill keep you full for four hours because you’re eating enough protein, Inchauspe continues.

We need roughly a gram of protein per pound of body weight.

But a 9-to-5 life spares no one, and sometimes a smoothie is needed.

That’s where this recipewhereprotein powderis the star ingredient of a smoothiecan help.

You still get a hint of sweet through the berries (also packed with antioxidants!)

but don’t forfeit on the much needed, blood sugar stabilizing ingredients.
