It might sound unusual to have lentil soup for breakfast, but we like to think outside the ‘oatmeal box’ when we want something warm!
But here’s a secret for how to make it work for your morning meal.
While lentils are a fiber powerhouse, a standard bowl only has about 8–10g of protein (similar to oats, which may have even less protein).
For women over 50, we need at least 25–30g per meal to effectively:
✅ Build muscle and protect metabolism
✅ Silence the “I’m hungry again” signals
✅ Keep blood sugar rock steady
The Fix: I paired this with cottage cheese and a sprinkle of nuts. This “sidekick” combo bridges the gap, hitting that 25-30g protein goal without the sugar spike of traditional breakfast foods.
It’s savory, it’s filling, and it’s a total game-changer for your afternoon focus.
