4 Healthy Breakfast Recipes with Powdered Supplements

Powdered supplements have many advantages. The body can absorb powdered nutrients faster than encapsulated ones, and you can seamlessly mix them with a favorite food or drink. So the question is – how can you easily incorporate your powdered supplements into your morning routine?

Because let’s face it – if you aren’t excited about the way you consume your powders, then you won’t consistently take them. So enhance the most important meal of the day by blending, mixing, shaking, or cooking these powders into your food and drinks. Kickstart your day with these four creative ways to take your Thorne powder.

Unflavored, for maximum versatility

"It has no taste! My water tasted like water after I added it! I'm so happy, that I took the time to give it five stars." - Jeffrey B., on Thorne's L-Glutamine Powder

As one of the most popular types, an unflavored powder supplement is great because it has no impact on taste, while still providing the health benefits you’re looking for.

Try mixing these products with any drink of your choosing – coffees, smoothies, shakes, juices, milks, teas, electrolyte drinks, water, or your own beverage creation. You can even try incorporating into food, like in this scrambled egg recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ¼ red bell pepper
• 1 handful kale or baby spinach
• 3 eggs
• ¾ cup milk
• 1 scoop Thorne’s Collagen Fit

Directions

1. Grease a pan with olive oil.
2. Chop up bell pepper and kale (or baby spinach) into small pieces.
3. Add chopped ingredients into a bowl with eggs, milk, and Collagen Fit. Whisk until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
4. Pour into pan. Cook on low heat and flip with spatula as eggs cook.
5. Serve onto plate.
6. Enjoy!

For the fruity flavors

Amino Complex, Catalyte®, Collagen Plus, Ovarian Care

"I add this to my coffee each morning. Within a few months many of the issues I’ve had with my skin went away. Great stuff." – Derek K., on Thorne’s Collagen Plus

Similar to the unflavored powder products listed above, the fruit flavors pair well with many beverages, warm or cold.

But keep in mind it’s not necessarily best to take certain products at breakfast. For example, we recommend taking Amino Complex after exercise for stimulating the muscle recovery process.* In that case, consider mixing into water by itself or alongside Thorne’s Catalyte at the gym post-workout.

One product you can take at any time of day? Collagen Plus. Here’s a recipe to start the day off right:

Ingredients

• ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1½ tablespoons gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 scoop Thorne’s Collagen Plus
• Optional: Add a few raspberries or blueberries

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir until evenly mixed.
2. Enjoy!

For one-of-a-kind flavors

Daily Greens Plus

"...On the recommendation from my Thorne representative to add a couple of extra ounces of water to the recommended level and ice to make sure it is cold, it actually tastes great. I love to combine it with Thorne’s Collagen Plus in the morning or with their Magnesium Bisglycinate in the evening. On top of the great taste is that I noticeably feel great each day." – Kevin E., on Daily Greens Plus

With its unique flavor – refreshing and slightly minty – Daily Greens Plus stands apart from the rest of our powdered products. Just released last summer, Daily Greens Plus is Thorne’s first greens powder. Made up of four unique blends, this healthy aging solution enhances your foundational nutrition while supporting a healthy mind and body.*

Our customers and employees are especially creative with this product, creating a variety of Daily Greens drinks and dishes for every meal and occasion. Here’s a tasty spread you can prep the night before for on-the-go ease:

Green Goat Cheese Bagel Spread
1 serving // Prep time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 small log of plain goat cheese (about 4 ounces)
• 1 scoop Thorne’s Daily Greens Plus
• 8 tablespoons of plain cream cheese spread (depending on desired spread-ability)
• 2 tablespoons of honey (depending on desired sweetness)
• 1 plain bagel

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir until evenly mixed. You may want to strain this mix if you plan to use it over several days (as opposed to just one morning).
2. Spread onto warm bagel.
3. Enjoy!

For the classic flavors – chocolate, vanilla, and notes of cinnamon

MediClear-SGS™, Whey Protein Isolate

"This is the second time I've purchased this protein powder. Great flavor, no chalky chunks. I like it in a smoothie or shaken with orange juice, but most of all I like the amount of protein per serving I get when I use this." – Tracy F., on Thorne’s Whey Protein Isolate

You can’t go wrong with these classic flavors. Not only are they easy to add into regular or chocolate milk, they are also a great option for baking. One Thorne employee mixes it up by adding their favorite protein powder into a morning cold brew:

Protein-Infused Cold Brew 
1 serving // Prep time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• ½ cup coffee beans
• 4 cups water
• 1 scoop Thorne’s Whey Protein Isolate (Chocolate or Vanilla depending on preference)
• Optional: ½ cup of your favorite milk

Directions

1. Measure and grind coffee beans.
2. Pour the coffee grounds into a mason jar.
3. Pour water and stir until evenly mixed.
4. Steep for 16 hours unrefrigerated or for 24 hours refrigerated. Tip: For fullest flavor, steep for 36 to 48 hours.
5. Strain cold brew: Place coffee filter holder and filter over top (a flour sack cloth also works) and pour into large bowl.
6. Transfer into a cup for drinking. Put the remainder in a clean jar and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
7. Add protein powder to cup and stir.
8. Optional: Dilute cup with as much water or milk as you prefer and stir.
