To maximize results, you should get most of your healthy carbs early in the day when you need more energy. At night as you wind down for the day, eat lean and green. 
 
Oatmeal is an easy breakfast option, but the lack of protein can leave you feeling hungry long before lunchtime. Adding a scoop of protein powder makes the protein higher than the carbs and keeps you feeling full longer. Top with our Nutty Granola or experiment with different fresh fruits and nuts to add variety. Avoid dried fruits like raisins and cranberries - they have a lot of sugar. 

​1/2 c Oats
1 scoop Univera protein powder
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 c vanilla almond milk
 
Add Sorg’s Nutty Granola for extra crunch and a boost of healthy fat and protein.
