No Time To Meal Prep? Building Your Own High-Protein Smoothie!
You rise early. Early enough to workout before the rest of the house awakens. That’s great!
But then you walk upstairs from your home gym and it’s chaos… Baby’s screaming, spouse is trying to cook breakfast as gooey pancakes fly across the kitchen (which is now your fault by the way). The middle one is showing you “treats” they made in the bathroom and luckily your oldest is still asleep in bed.
A slight dramatization, yes. But a version of this happens all the time, right?
So it’s safe to assume you had almost no time to get your food together for the day.
That’s alright. You can throw together a high-protein smoothie next time.

In the end, you’re still getting a nice balance of fruits, veggies, protein and healthy fats. Go you!
