Chocolate Cherry Chia Pudding

Is eating breakfast a struggle? For many of us, life is busy in the morning. Unfortunately, breakfast just isn’t a priority most mornings – even if you have the best of intentions the night before. In MM, we talk a loooot about breakfast.

So many clients see amazing changes just from starting the simple habit of starting their day with a high-protein breakfast. Why do we focus so much on protein, especially in the morning? Because it helps keep you full and satiated! And we don’t want you hungry by 10 AM – you don’t have time for that. Breakfast is also an easy meal to really pack in the protein because there are so many protein sources to add. You can find more protein ideas in this blog post.

You may be reading this and thinking…yep, I know it’s important, but my mornings are busy!

I get it – mine too! If there is anything I take the time to prep each week, it’s breakfast. Luckily, this takes almost zero time to prep. So, if breakfast is a struggle, try this high-protein, grab-n-go breakfast option: Chocolate Cherry Chia Pudding.
