"A protein-rich breakfast changes your entire morning."
Why Protein for Breakfast? 🥩
Starting the day with only carbohydrates (white bread, cake, cookies) often leads to quick hunger afterward. Protein, on the other hand, brings more satiety and helps preserve muscle, which is the engine of metabolism. Therefore, including a protein source at breakfast helps you get through the morning with more energy and less desire to snack.
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons rolled oats
- Cinnamon to taste
- A drizzle of olive oil or coconut oil for greasing
- Mash the banana well with a fork.
- Mix the egg and oats until a homogeneous batter forms. Add the cinnamon.
- Heat a greased non-stick pan over low heat.
- Pour small portions of the batter and brown on both sides.
"Eating well in the morning is giving your day a good start."
