Fast food doesn’t have to slow you down. In fact it can actually power you up if you choose the right fast food options. If you don’t have time for a sit down breakfast or lunch a great alternative is a homemade protein shake or choose from a variety of great protein bars available.
In the morning just toss some of your fresh or frozen fruit (preferably organic) in a blender along with pure filtered water or juice add a scoop or two of protein powder, egg, whey or soy a little honey if you like and you have created a perfect protein shake. Then just pour and go. I like to pop a slice of my favorite whole grain bread in the toaster for a side dish to take along to round out the fast food meal. I throw my favorite protein bar in my pocket for a quick mid morning snack to keep me charged up and then out the door I go to greet the day.
Move over Juice Bars I just created a protein shake at a fraction of the cost and saved gas and time getting it.
