Breakfast and easy are two words that we all need to go together. High protein, breakfast and easy is even better still. Here is a very simple breakfast packed with protein, fibre, nutrients and flavour to add to your morning routine. If you love a coffee too, there is room for additional macros and calories here.
Not everyone wants to count calories, but understanding the basics of how to build a nutritious meal becomes even more important as our hormones and body change over the years.
