Stress-Free Fall Mornings: Protein-Packed Tips
Share
September feels like January, a fresh start, am I right?
This time of year as kids are getting back to school and parents are getting back to routines it can feel overwhelming and stressful, especially the mornings.
Today I'm giving you some quick recipe ideas on how to make your mornings less stressful while getting the protein you need to have the energy to tackle your day.
Fail to plan, plan to fail.
I love this saying because it's so true. Hitting your protein goal takes a bit of planning but that doesn't have to mean it takes a lot of time.
My best advice for quick mornings
Prepare an entire batch of HelloAmino pancake batter. Store in a protein shaker and then either throw 1/2 cup of batter into a microwave safe mug for a 90 second mug cake or make the easiest pancakes in five minutes with no flipping required using this game changing tool.
