Protein Breakfast Parfait: Two Ways

Protein Breakfast Parfait: Two Ways

Easy, balanced breakfasts are sometimes hard to come by. I know if you’re like me and my family, we need things that can be eaten easily without a lot of preparation in the morning. Or we need an option when we’re running out the door that can grabbed quickly and taken on the go.

It seems like protein is hard to add into breakfast if it isn’t something that’s cooked like eggs. I wanted to come up with a recipe that was balanced, had protein and is easy to take on the go. These protein breakfast parfaits are perfect for busy mornings and they can also be enjoyed slowly even if you aren’t in a rush. Plus, you can meal prep them ahead of time and use them as a healthy treat or snack too.

10 Superfood Boosters For Protein Shakes and Smoothies

Protein shakes and smoothies are a wonderful way to get in a ton of nutrients in a quick, easy to take with you container. I use shakes and smoothies almost daily. They’re so easy to blend up, pour into a shake container and tote anywhere. Plus, you can add a ton of nutrition to one simple shake. Pack in your macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fat) as well as your micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients). Often times, it’s much easier to drink all of this nutrition rather than having to eat it.

A great way to increase the nutrient density in shakes is to add superfood boosters like flax seed, chia seeds, super greens supplements, nuts, oils and more.

Triple Berry Breakfast Cookies (Gluten Free)

Easy breakfast options are my go-to on work days. Mornings are rushed often times in my household and I typically eat on the way out the door or in the car. I know this isn’t ideal but it’s life and it’s the truth. I need something I can grab and go and run out the door on the way to work.

If you’re like me or in a household where you have multiple tasks to manage in the mornings (kids, bus to meet, work, etc) then you know how it is when you just want to grab a healthy bite to go. Sometimes I want to actually eat food rather than blend up a protein shake. These have been a great option when I want to chew.

These breakfast cookies are delicious and not very sweet. They’re easy to whip up the night before so you don’t have to spend a ton of time meal prepping.

5 Superfood Protein Smoothie Recipes

One of the easiest ways to pack a meal full of nourishing superfoods is through an easy to make superfood shake. What do I mean by a superfood shake? In my definition, superfoods are whole foods that offer a high amount of nutrient density – vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants, lean protein, healthy fats, fiber, healthy carbs, etc.

The superfood protein smoothie is one that contains protein (animal or plant), a healthy source of fat (nuts, coconut oil, seeds) and a healthy dose of veggies and fruit. It can be a fantastic way to get a balanced meal or snack without a ton of prep work or clean up – a win win!

Chocolate Avocado Protein Shake

Did you ever drink a protein shake that wasn’t as smooth and creamy as you wanted it to be? Well, look no further for options because an avocado might be just what you need. We used an avocado in this recipe because it has a relatively mild flavor so it only enhances the chocolate protein. It also blends so well making the shake nice and smooth. Have you ever tried a chocolate avocado brownie and loved it? If so, you’re in for a treat!
