Protein Packed Brunch - 4 Way
Protein Packed Brunch - 4 Way
Making snacking healthy is a myth no more. However, while trying to balance our macros, we miss out on the fact that not every calorie is just a calorie. Getting your calorie intake from the right sources of food is more important than just completing your macro goals for a day. Calories from simple sugars like sucrose are digested easily eventually adding to the bloodstream and fat tissues, whereas calories from complex carbohydrates and lean protein are used mainly to fulfill our energy requirement and build muscle.
With numerous recipe blogs out there, our goal is simple: to get you hearty, healthy recipes along with benefits that will make your meals not only nutritious but delicious too!
So here is something for you to try this weekend:

Recipe:
