To hit 150g of protein a day, it is definitely an intentional effort. But not hard once you get into the groove.
Coffee or Tea: Add Collagen (18g of protein)
Breakfast Favorites:
- Smoothie (Whey AND Collagen) = 45g; it can be as simple as those two powders + your favorite milk. Or add in frozen fruit and spoonful of almond butter for more. I've got a ton of smoothie recipes to look through. Double up on the powders and there's your 45g!
