Protein Shakes as a Healthy Breakfast for Your Weight Loss Program
Key to your success in losing weight and eating healthy is to plan your meals. Simply said if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. This is never more evident than when we are trying to eat healthy. Without planing your breakfast, morning and afternoon snacks along with lunch we will skip them or eat things that are detrimental to our health at worst and just not healthy providing the vitamins, minerals and nutrition we need at best. So the best solution is to plan.
Plan Your Meals in Advance.
The planning process starts when we shop. We of course need to plan the types of food we will be eating and shop for them accordingly. If we plan to eat 3 to 4 servings of fruit everyday we need to buy fruit for the week for us and our family to support this goal. The same is true for our vegetables, whole grains, nuts and beans. The planning starts before we go to the store.
Plan Your Meals For The Day.
Most people plan their dinners, but very few plan their breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and because we are often in a hurry it is overlooked and often skipped. Even if you are not a breakfast person so to speak it is very important to break fast. A piece of fruit or two, a quick vegetarian omelet, a bowl of whole grain cereal (hot or cold), or a meal replacement shake. Any of these offer a quick solution, prepared in 10 minutes or less and will start your day off right.
Meal Replacement Protein Shake for Breakfast.
I look for 2 things in my healthy breakfast. First and foremost is energy. Next is protein. I get my energy from fruit, juice, tea or a healthy energy drink; which are always a part of my breakfast routines. My protein comes from a number of sources. The best is my protein meal replacement shake. Why do I choose a protein meal replacement shake for my healthy weight loss program?
- Protein builds and rebuilds muscle tissue including your heart
- Protein assists in making body chemicals like enzymes, hormones for growth and other functions

Our bodies produce some essential amino acids and others we need to consume. As we age we especially need to consume more protein because we lose ability to produce some amino acids in the quantity necessary for optimal health and your weight loss program. Whey protein has proven to be the most complete protein that offers the 20 essential amino acids that we need. Your meal replacement protein shake should have whey protein as its primary ingredient plus serve as a nutritional vitamin supplement to support your total nutritional needs without adding excess calories.
