Got breakfast? Well, if you do not, you should! It is arguably the most important meal of the day, so even the busiest fitness enthusiast should spare a few minutes upon waking to fuel up for the day.
And in case you need an extra kick, this fully-loaded protein and superfood parfait has a jolt of caffeine so you can start your day right!
I prefer using Labrada Nutrition ISO Lean Pro because it has 0g carbs and 0g fat, allowing me to add 25g of lean protein to any meal. Plus, it has a rich creamy flavor that mixes well with yogurt.

Hey, I'm Kevin
My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is a lifelong journey, mainly won by having a well-balanced diet and maintaining an active lifestyle.
By experimenting in the kitchen and sharing my meals on Tumblr, I learned healthy eating is not boring! By making a few adjustments to my favorite foods, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my wellness goals while satisfying my desire for BANGIN food! 😅 Now I try to help people around the world realize that same level of freedom in eating regardless of budget.
