It’s unanimous ,most health experts agree that breakfast is your most important meal of the day. Many youth athletes skip breakfast altogether because they say” I just can’t eat before I run. Not quite the way to optimize performance. After the ‘fast’ of eight or ten hours, it is important to supply your athletes body with high quality food choices to start out the competition day.
One of the best ways to promote a power packed breakfast is to make a protein shake made with a quality whey protein powder. Here’s why you’ll want to make whey part of your youth athletes no-nonsense breakfast of champions:
- Gets you out the door quickly each day fueled with a high quality, low carbohydrate, protein-rich supplement to help meet your protein needs.
Supports healthy blood sugar levels*.
Sustains your athlete for hours — unlike many carb-based cereals*. It provides you with prolonged energy throughout the morning*.
- Makes a convenient and delicious morning smoothie. Finally – a breakfast supplement beverage without guilt…
- Prevents grabbing unhealthy but convenient “fast food.” It can become your “go to” meal supplement when you’re rushed, haven’t been to the store, or you’re feeling less than creative in the kitchen.
For the sake of refueling their bodies with real nutrients in the morning, you can’t beat the simplicity and speed of whipping up a whey protein drink supplement.
You can also add it to raw milk, kefir, or your favorite yogurt. Or you can mix in some nuts or a tiny bit of fruit for flavor. (Some parents even hide powdered or liquid vitamins, fish oil, or other nutrients their kids won’t otherwise take in their protein drink. Shhh! Don’t tell.) I put fresh spinach in Lauren’s, she can’t even tell.
I place it in a travel cup so she can’t see the color .Works like a charm, and she get a great morning start before every meet.
Get your youth’s track meet days off to a jack rabbit start from now on. It is truly is my secret weapon to a fast race.
Until Next Time
