We call breakfast the “most important meal of the day” for a good reason. So we put together a list of plant based high protein breakfast ideas that will help you jump-start your day. Plus, we’ve added CBD and CBG to these recipes! Cannabidiol (CBD) and Cannabigerol (CBG) are some of the cannabinoids known to provide many potential health benefits.
Eating a healthy breakfast before you start your day will give you the energy you need to get things done and will help you focus at work or school. It also restores the glycogen levels that the body used up while sleeping and kick-starts your metabolism. In addition to that, breakfast provides us with nutrients that we need to stay healthy such as protein.
Protein is found throughout the body. It helps build nails, hair, bones, and muscles. Our body needs protein each day to function properly and to maintain lean muscle mass.
