Creamy chocolate protein smoothie
One of my favourite weekday breakfasts because it’s so quick to make, and I can easily take it with me to work or the gym if I’m short on time in the morning. Studies show that a high-protein, high-fibre breakfast helps stabilise blood sugar levels and can keep you feeling energised throughout the day. It can also help reduce cravings for sugary snacks during that late morning or afternoon slump.
Give it a try and see if you notice the difference!
