When I learned that getting 25-30 grams of protein at breakfast can help us build and maintain muscle as we age, I realized that my usual breakfast wasn’t cutting it. At first I struggled to find high protein options I felt like eating in the morning, but I eventually got into a groove with it. This protein-packed breakfast has become one of my go-tos. It features creamy cottage cheese, crisp-sweet bites of apple, a buttery crunch of toasted pecans and a warm, fragrant sprinkle of cinnamon and cloves. It totally hits the spot and keeps me energized all morning long.
