Happy Hour

I see a lot of insta people drinking matcha in the morning instead of coffee. Is coffee really that bad for you or matcha that much better?

Matcha offers more of a “calm” energy and can be a great alternative for people who feel too jittery with regular coffee, but do want some caffeine. I usually have a matcha in the afternoon when I want a little pick me up, but nothing too intense.

Matcha has less caffeine than regular coffee, so it’s also a good option if you’re trying to cut back on caffeine or wean off it for whatever reason. There are health benefits to both, but things can go sideways depending on additives like sugar, added courage creamers, syrups, etc. I personally live for my morning cup of coffee and will likely never give that up, so do you.

How many grams of protein should you be having in the morning and per day? I’ve been seeing your protein breakfast posts and curious what I should be aiming for.

At least 20 grams! Ideally 20-30 grams of protein per meal and protein rich snacks. This will help you feel full and promote muscle synthesis and maintenance.

Any last min recs for a cute 4th of July swim suit/outfit?

Aerie or Target has great options. Throw this on with jean shorts and you’re good to go!

What are the best creamers to put in your coffee?

If you tolerate dairy there is nothing wrong with a splash of organic half and half…it’s actually a healthful choice. That is what both Heather and I drink. We’ve tried all the non dairy creamers, but we can both tolerate dairy and love the taste. Having a little fat with the caffeine also helps smooth out the jitters.

If you’re avoiding dairy for whatever reason, Laird is probably the cleanest. You want to avoid added sugars and fillers which most are filled with.

Loved your supplement post! What would you say are your top 3 ride of die supplements if you had to pick?

I’m so glad! Here is the post in case you missed it.

I would say my Athletic Greens, Vitamin D3+K2 drops, magnesium and a 4th because I also need my omegas.
