Protein first thing keeps me full until lunch. These are the breakfasts I actually make.

Number 9 is the one most people miss. It works best on top of the others, so don't skip ahead.

Here’s what helps me

✿
  1. 1

    Eggs with salsa and black beans

    My everyday Texas breakfast.

    How to: Scramble 2 eggs, add 1/4 cup warm black beans and a spoon of fresh salsa.

  2. 2

    Greek yogurt bowl

    Fast, cold and very filling.

    How to: 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, berries, a spoon of nuts and a drizzle of honey.

  3. 3

    Cottage cheese and fruit

    No cooking at all.

    How to: 1 cup cottage cheese with pineapple or peaches and a pinch of cinnamon.

  4. 4

    Breakfast tacos on corn tortillas

    Small tortillas, big protein.

    How to: Two corn tortillas, scrambled eggs, a little cheese and pico de gallo.

  5. 5

    Egg muffins

    Make them Sunday, eat them all week.

    How to: Whisk 8 eggs with chopped peppers and spinach, pour into a muffin tin, bake 20 minutes at 350F.

  6. 6

    Overnight protein oats

    Ready when you wake up.

    How to: 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup milk, chia seeds. Fridge overnight.

  7. 7

    Smoked salmon toast

    A treat that still keeps me full.

    How to: Whole grain toast, cream cheese, smoked salmon and cucumber.

  8. 8

    Protein smoothie

    For mornings when I am out the door.

    How to: Greek yogurt, berries, a spoon of nut butter and milk. Blend.

  9. 9

    The one most people miss

    Protein keeps me full until lunch, but the very first thing I take each morning, before breakfast, is one little capsule for my gut.

    Here’s why: lots of probiotics die in stomach acid before they ever reach the gut. Mine comes in a delayed release capsule made to get through the stomach, with 10 strains and a prebiotic to feed them.

Quick questions

How long until I feel a difference?

For me, my stomach felt calmer over the first week or two, and by a month it was just my normal. Everyone is different, so give it a full 30 days.

Is it hard to take?

No. One capsule a day, with or without food. No powder to mix and no taste. I take mine with my morning water.

Is it worth the money?

I thought it would be pricey, but it’s usually $24.97, goes on sale a lot, and it’s $17.49 right now. That’s about 58 cents a day, less than a cup of coffee.

Can I take it with the rest of my routine?

Yes, I take it alongside everything on this page. Simple is the point: one capsule, then I get on with my day. If you take medication, read the label and ask before you start.
