We’ve all been there. For whatever reason, you wake up on a weekday morning, roll over, look at the clock, and in a sudden state of shock, realize that your alarm didn’t go off. You’re running an hour late. AHHH!
You take the world’s fastest shower, toss some clothes on, and throw your hair up into a quick top knot. You scramble to get bags packed, teeth brushed, kids dressed and fed, and out the door as fast as you can.
With minutes to get out the door, you know there isn’t time to prepare much. Even though a caffeine rush from coffee might seem like a good idea, it’s not going to sustain you for long. What if there was a morning meal you could prepare faster than your coffee maker can pour you a cup to go?
Vega® Essentials, which brings 20 grams dairy free protein and veggies and greens (which you won’t even taste), plus oatmeal and raspberries, it’ll give you energy to tackle your day. An added bonus: Try tossing all your ingredients in a blender jug in the evening. Store the jug in the fridge overnight, then in the morning, simply whirl it all up and pour it into a to-go cup. Voila – an easy to-go breakfast, whether you’re dropping the kids off at school, commuting to work, driving to spin class, or anywhere in between!
