TLN Quick Meals: Yogurt and Protein Powder Breakfast


This is a no-brainer breakfast option that I use almost every weekday to get me out the door quickly. Grab a 6 ounce of cup of your favorite Stoneyfield flavor and spoon into a small bowl (my household uses fat free -not because we are concerned with the fat - simply more of our fave flavors are in the fat free line). Mix in a scoop or 1 serving of an unflavored whey protein powder. The protein boost from the whey powder results in a very nice carb-protein balance (approx. 30 grams carb, 25 grams protein). Stir well and let sit for a few minutes for protein to fully absorb into yogurt (I perform this step before running upstairs to get dressed). With prep and eating time on this Quick Meal topping no more than a few minutes, its a perfect solution for the breakfast skipper - and offers alot more nutritional substance than the traditional, wimpy bowl of cold cereal!
