Staying healthy is top of mind at the moment and building a perfectly balanced plate with protein is essential for your body which uses it to build and repair tissues. Protein is an important building block for bones, muscles, skin, cartilage, and blood and your body uses it to produce enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals.  

The optimum protein portion is 20–30 grams. This helps you stay energized and satiated between breakfast and lunch, and lunch and dinner, so you can navigate your busy day! One of the best ways to easily eat this portion is with protein powder—your newest pantry staple! Whether you choose Power Up Chocolate or Vanilla Optimum Vegan, breakfast (or even brinner!) is a great time to use protein powder. Here are some of our favourite recipes:
