3. 🥣 The 80/20 Daily Driver
Best for: 80% of my mornings—fuels heavy lifting and long days.
The Meal: 1/2 cup Organic Overnight Oats + 1/2 scoop @transparentlabs Whey (Blueberry Muffin) + blueberries + 1/2 banana.
On the side: 2 scrambled whole eggs + 1/3 cup egg whites + 1 scoop non-fat Greek yogurt + hot sauce + Everything But The Bagel seasoning.
The Macros:
💥 Protein: 44g
