1. Mix into Yogurt

dish,food,meal,breakfast,drink, One of the simplest ways to eat whey protein at breakfast is to mix it into Greek yogurt for a double dose of protein and a creamy, dessert-like breakfast treat. I do suggest using plain, unsweetened and nonfat Greek yogurt as the healthiest option though. Yogurt is a great breakfast food since it contains protein,calcium, probiotics, vitamins, and minerals to keep you nourished all day long.

2. To Make Protein Pudding

Then top it with some berries, flax, or maybe some chia seeds for an even more filling factor. Try out different flavors and combinations to see which ones work for you. Though any type of milk will do, unsweetened vanilla almond milk is the lowest calorie option and in my opinion, the best tasting.

Whey protein is a great way to start the day off right. It's a complete protein that contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a great choice for those looking to build muscle and stay fit. Specifically, it contains high levels of leucine, which helps to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. Additionally, whey protein is low in carbohydrates and fat and is easy to digest. Protein pudding is a great way to enjoy the benefits of whey protein for breakfast. Simply mix whey protein with unsweetened non-dairy milk, top with berries, flax, or chia seeds, and enjoy. Different flavors and combinations can be experimented with to find the one that works best for you. Unsweetened vanilla almond milk is a great low-calorie option and is especially tasty.
