I hear so many clients say “I am tired of being tired! Today, I have a simple solution to energize your day with ease and deliciousness.  If you want an energized focused productive day, start with a protein packed breakfast. Research is showing that we need 30 grams of protein before 12 o’clock noon. How do you accomplish this protein goal? It’s easy. Just add milk. One glass of milk provides 8 grams of protein

Eating a protein rich breakfast including milk will help you feel fuller longer and you will able to focus on what you need to accomplish. Your scale will love you too as this breakfast will help you with a healthier weight. And just think you won’t need to be hitting the vending machine for morning munchies any more as you will feel full longer. If you work out in the morning or you aren’t hungry when you wake up have a glass of chocolate milk. Chocolate milk is a smart recovery strategy post work out. No other food provides eight grams of protein and eight other nutrients including calcium, vitamin D and potassium.

Pair my absolute favorite breakfast recipe Power Up Muffins Cups with a glass of milk and you are good to go.

Here are some other easy ways to energize your day and jumpstart your productivity.

• Cottage Cheese with your favorite fruit (We love pineapple and cottage cheese. )
