Starting the day with a breakfast that actually has some protein in it is genuinely a game changer. I noticed a huge difference in my energy levels and how long I stay full when I stopped reaching for just toast or cereal and started making these instead. Some of these are grab and go, some are worth making ahead, and a couple are the kind of thing you actually look forward to waking up for.
