Fuel Your Morning with Protein-Packed Recipes
(Family Features) As you prepare to take on the day, one of the most beneficial ways to energize yourself each morning is by fu- eling your body with the proper nutrients, including protein.
U.S. Ski & Snowboard Team High-Per- formance Dietitian Allen Tran works with t op athletes and recognizes the key role protein plays in their diets. Developed by Tran, these breakfast recipes can provide the nutrition necessary for journeying through your day with energy and verve. Protein Waffles include Rockin’ Protein Builder for an easy boost of protein. The 12-ounce shakes, which are low in carbs and sugar, are made with fresh milk and have 30 grams of high-quality protein
to help build muscle without a chalky after-taste.
If you’re looking to make healthier choices or live an active lifestyle and are short on time, a premade recipe may allow for additional productivity. Recipes that can be made in advance - like the night before - may aid your goal to consume necessary nutrients without putting a rush on your morning routine.

on the go. Adding milk to your diet helps serve as a source of energy while building and repairing muscles.
