- Tess talks about why protein beats sugary cereals every time — and how easy it is to make a breakfast that actually keeps you full.
- She gives simple ideas for fast, yummy shakes that are packed with protein and flavor — no sugar crash included!
- Tess shares why reading food labels is key (spoiler: “healthy” cereals might not be so healthy).
- She chats about her favorite go-to snacks for busy days — think raw nuts, nut butters, and quick bites that travel well.
- Tess reminds us not to overcomplicate things — start with one small change, keep it doable, and let it build from there.
