Protein-Powered Summer Meals

Published

summer

(Family Features) Summer days spent outdoors call for meals with high-quality protein to help you power through the fun. From breakfast to dinner, quick, hassle-free meals are ideal for making sure your family stays well-fed and satisfied between activities.

Options from Farmer John’s extensive lineup, ranging from bacon and hot dogs to sausages and more, make it easy to create flavorful meals for any occasion.

To kick off the day right, try these Thick Cut Bacon, Ham and Pimento Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches. For a midday pick-me-up, Asian Cajun Po’ Boys offer a mouthwatering kick from naturally hardwood smoked Hot Louisiana Smoked Sausage. 

In addition to offering proteins perfect for a variety of menu items, Farmer John is also on a mission to give back to the Golden State through its California Commitment Tour. For the third year in a row, the brand is embarking on an 8-week mission of feeding, celebrating and serving communities across the state by delivering free grab-and-go lunches to locals and essential businesses 3-4 times per week and donating protein to local food banks. As an extension of this year’s tour, the team introduced its California Kindness Project – a program designed to support committed nonprofits making an impact through $100,000 in grants.

Healthy Breakfast Solutions for Busy Mornings

Published

on

Breakfast (Family Features) Hustling to get out the door for a busy day may tempt you to skip breakfast but taking a few extra minutes to nourish your body helps ensure you can keep up with the day’s demands. Breakfast is your chance to jumpstart your body. Eating breakfast offers multiple benefits, including providing energy to fuel your day and increasing your ability to focus and make decisions. A breakfast rich in protein is also important to keep you fuller longer. Eggs may be a frequent option, yet dairy foods can be a good, protein-rich alternative. If you’re cutting calories, an option like Milk50 contains only 50 calories per serving but the same amount of protein as other dairy milks – 9 grams per serving – along with calcium and vitamin D. This first-of-its-kind product also contains 75% less sugar than skim milk, is lactose-free and doesn’t contain any artificial flavors or colors. A return-to-dairy trend is gaining momentum, with 58% of U.S. adults welcoming dairy back to their diets after being disappointed with the price, taste and heavy processing of plant-based beverages, according to a national survey commissioned by Dairy Farmers of America. Incorporating these real dairy favorites in your morning recipes can be a cinch. Start your morning with a nutritious and delicious shake like this Vanilla Coffee Protein Shake, which combines cold brew coffee and frozen bananas for a refreshing treat. Or, if you’re craving something a little heartier, mix up a batch of Chai Oatmeal Energy Bites over the weekend or in the evening so you can grab one or two on the go. Find more breakfast inspiration at milk50.com. 17429 detail image embed 1

Chai Oatmeal Energy Bites

Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 55 minutes Yield: 2 doze
  • 1          cup DairyPure Milk50 Vanilla
  • 3          chai tea bags, divided
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 2          cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2       teaspoon salt
  • 2          teaspoons baking powder
  • 2          tablespoons flaxseed
  • 1          teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/3       cup maple syrup
  • 1/2       cup chopped pecans
  1. In small pot, heat milk until hot but not simmering. Take off heat and place two chai tea bags in milk. Steep tea in milk until cool, about 30 minutes, then discard tea bags.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. In large bowl, stir cooled chai milk, oats, salt, baking powder, flaxseed, vanilla and maple syrup.
  3. Open third chai tea bag and measure 2 teaspoons tea. If tea is coarse, blitz in spice grinder or use mortar and pestle to grind more finely. Stir tea into batter and let mixture sit 10 minutes so oats can soak up milk.
  4. Give batter another stir then fill each mini muffin cavity about 3/4 with batter, about 1 tablespoon in each. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top. Bake bites 12-13 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center of bite comes out clean. Let cool 5 minutes.
