Is protein necessary for breakfast? I do just fruit smoothies, to cleanse first thing.

I wouldn’t say absolutely necessary but it will help give energy and keep you more full. Especially if you plan to exercise. Protein powder is good to add into your smoothie. Cookies and cream flavour is especially delicious!

I’d say yes, protein takes longer to break down by the body, so it’ll give you a longer lasting energy. I like to put peanut butter or almond butter and a splash of almond milk in my smoothies. You can also use yogurt for a thicker smoothie. Hope this helps, have a great day!

Honestly, I think it’s based on preference. If you do any physical activity or usually don’t eat a lot of proteins through the day, I would suggest adding protein in your breakfast to help kick the day off strong. Some people would rather fruit and veggies over protein and that’s okay! Maybe try protein for a few days and see which one helps you start your day off right and keeps you fueled for the day ahead! Good luck :)

I would ask a dietitian or someone with more expert for sure, but I think protein is necessary. Fruits are complex carbs and carbs burn off fast right? So to stay full adding a bit of healthy fats like nuts or proteins like eggs might be a good option, even if only for a snack.

I don’t believe it is. I like eating eating fruits or vegetables for breakfast or making a smoothie too. I like buying salad kits and that’s my breakfast most mornings. Quick and easy to get me going.

Yes, protein is vital to a healthy start in the morning. It helps your body feel sated and slows the release of sugar into your blood, which means that you won’t crash like you will with a high carb, low protein breakfast.

I believe that protein is essential for breakfast and it would be the fuel for the day to be burnt during daily activities

Smoothies can make a very healthy breakfast—it’s all about the ingredients and keeping reasonable portions. When following these parameters, it is okay to have a smoothie for breakfast everyday. Super healthy breakfast smoothies are quick and easy to make, and of course, they are delicious too! When looking for a healthy breakfast smoothie, try to find one that’s low in sugar and high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats so you stay full for longer.

I also eat just fruit smoothies, which works fine for me however I don’t know much about nutrition so I can’t say for sure whether eating protein in the morning will greatly benefit you or not.

No. But protein gives you longer more balanced energy. Fruit is super healthy and full of antioxidants but it is also full of natural sugar. The sugar gives you burst of energy that then rapidly goes away leaving you feeling hungry sooner and lacking energy.
