Sponsored: Planning for Protein – Breakfast

Starting the day with some protein can often help you and your children stay more satisfied and last until lunch. Planning for at least 10 grams of protein is a good place to start.

Here are some ways to get at least 10 gram of protein for a healthy and satisfying breakfast to start your day. 

• Plain Greek yogurt + berries + nuts

• Toasted whole wheat waffle + nut butter + 8 oz glass of cow’s milk or soy beverage

  Scrambled egg + cheddar cheese (+ whole wheat tortilla) 

  Oatmeal made with cow’smilk + nuts + raisins

Note: Most plant-based beverages except soy have little or no protein

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
