30g's for breakfast just got easier! Breakfast is served! 💪

Hey friend!

We're back with another stupidly simple high-protein breakfast prep that will get you to that 30 grams of protein before 9 am. We're making scones! More on why protein for breakfast is important is at the bottom of the email :)

Before the weekend craziness picks up, we wanted to share a go-to in our household - easy breakfast scones. These little protein nuggets pack in 14g of protein per scone. So, we grab two (28g) for breakfast and pair them with a latte (8g) or dip them into Greek yogurt (5g) to hit those 30g's for breakfast.

Why you'll love them 👇

⭐️ 6 Ingredients
⭐️ 10 minutes of work
⭐️ They freeze and reheat great!
⭐️ Toddler approved (just use maple sausage)
⭐️ Gluten free

Want something sweet to go with them? Have a scone and a serving of protein pistachio pancakes made with Nichols Farms pistachios. These pancakes pack in 16g of protein, so that plus the 14g from one scone = exactly 30 grams!

If you make this (and any future ones), I'd love to hear how it goes - tag us on Instagram, Facebook, leave a review, or reply here!

Happy cooking!

why we need protein for breakfast

Why do we need 30 grams of protein anyway? Well, according to recent research, 30 grams is the minimum required to start muscle synthesis (a fancy way of saying building and rebuilding muscles). And after a night of fasting, we want to "break" fast with enough protein to get muscle synthesis going again. Scroll to the bottom of the email for more info on this!

As we age, typically after 35, our muscles degrade just because. If we aren't actively strength training and eating enough protein, our muscles will degrade and, in turn, our bones. So, as we get older, eating enough protein to help muscles rebuild and maintain becomes more important.

So, you need protein - that is all :) To help you hit those goals, we'll be sending high-protein breakfast ideas every other week with 30 grams of protein!
