High Protein, Low Carb Breakfast Recipes/ Pumpkin Pie Yogurt + Cinnamon Roasted Walnuts/




 Nothing says protein like a cup of non-fat, Greek yogurt. By adding pumpkin flavoring and cinnamon roasted walnuts, you can enhance the nutritional value of your morning yogurt even more.



The important thing to remember about high-protein/low-carb breakfasts is that the fat content needs to be a bit higher to compensate for the low carbohydrates in order to fill and fuel you up for your workouts and for the day, so you don’t experience a crash that can lead to binge eating later.
