3 ways to get 30g of protein in the morning
Protein Pancake
1 cup egg whites
1 scoop protein powder
1 cup oats
2tsp cinnamon
Mix all ingredients in a blender, and cook on a stove top. This yielded two extremely large pancakes, but could have easily been made into 6 smaller ones.

Egg Omelette
1 cup egg whites
1 egg
Veggies to taste (consider these macro freebies)
This made one HUGE omelette! It kept me full for about 4 hours after I finished it. I added spinach + red peppers to this omelette, topped it with both salsa and hot sauce.

Protein Shake
1.5 scoop protein powder (I use a pea protein)
1/2 cup blueberries
handful of spinach
water + ice cubes to your desired thickness
I like to eat my smoothies with a spoon, so I usually do about a cup of water with 4-6 ice cubes in my vitamix.
Try it out and see how it works for you!
