Let’s talk about the most underrated nutrition hack: protein distribution!
Most people load up on protein at dinner, barely get any at breakfast, and then wonder why they’re starving by 3pm. Sound familiar?
The truth is: your body uses protein in real time! You need it throughout the day to support —
✨ Muscle Repair
✨ Blood Sugar Balance
✨ Hormone Function
That’s why research shows that evenly distributing your protein intake — ideally 25–30g per meal — leads to better absorption and better results!
AKA: less hanger, more energy, and stronger muscles!
Here’s the problem —
Most breakfast options tend to be low in protein. Checks out when most grab-and-go choices are carb-heavy — think toast, donuts, muffins, bagels!
Here’s the solution —
It’s not about cutting out your fave breakfast foods. And it’s definitely not about choking down a plain egg white scramble…
It’s to modify to satisfy! Take your fave breakfast or latte and add in ingredients that help you kick off your day with protein — so you’re set up for a more balanced day!
Take the viral Salted Tahini Latte, for example — it’s delish, but doesn’t have much protein. With one simple swap you can turn it into a functional drink by blending it with a Koia Vanilla Nutrition Shake!
This adds:
✨ 20 grams of complete plant protein
✨ 6 grams of gut supporting fiber
✨ 21 vitamins and minerals
Here’s how to make it!
Ingredients:
☕️ 1 cup brewed coffee
☕️ 2 tbsp tahini
☕️ 1 tbsp honey
☕️ 1 bottle Koia Vanilla Protein Shake

☕️ pinch of flaky salt
Instructions:
• Brew your coffee and pour over frozen coffee cubes.

It’s the perfect way to make your latte delish, functional, and help you kickstart your day with protein!
