Your mornings are about to get a lot healthier (and easier)...

You know that preparing meals at home is good for your health, your energy, and your waistline. But let’s face it, not all high protein meals are necessarily healthy and you’re busy a person. So am I...

I’ve got 3 little kids that I’ve got to get to, and pick up from, school and drive to various activities...a thriv-ing business to run...friends to connect with...and exercise to fit in. Oh yeah, and get about 7–8 hours of sleep so I can do it all again the next day.

If you’re in a  similar situation you’ve got minimal free time and other priorities taking up space in your schedule, so spending hours or even minutes in the kitchen isn’t always at the top of your to-do list, right?

Especially when you’re pressed for time in the morning.

Because let's be honest...

Breakfast is arguably the most important meal of the day. The right breakfast can raise your energy, keep you going for hours, and keep away those dreaded mid-morning and afternoon cravings.

However, if you’re starting your day with high carb foods like cereals, toast, muffins, juice, etc… then your day is set for failure!

These high carb foods and the up and down blood sugar effects they create...

Drain your energy, increase cravings, and force your body to store fat. Not good.

So, when your days are packed with meetings, workouts, appointments, work, and a social life, it’s important to start things off on the right foot. And a good high protein breakfast is your ticket to doing so.

But eating bacon and eggs every day is certainly not the best option. And it can get pretty old, real quick.

That’s why I  know you’ll love the 23 delicious high-protein breakfast recipes I’ve got lined up for you in this cookbook. Enjoy!

Your friend and coach,
