Starting your day with a protein-packed breakfast doesn’t require scoop after scoop of chalky protein powder in your smoothie or settling for bland, highly processed cereal. There's a better way!
We took a stroll through Sprouts (where our granola is ON SALE through February 25!), to shop for a couple of high-protein breakfasts that rely on naturally protein-rich real, whole food ingredients (think seeds, nuts and whole grains). And of course, these simple meals are made all the more delicious with the fresh flavors of chunky handmade Michele’s Granola:
