Studies show whey protein for breakfast is perfect for type-2 diabetes.

There's no question that Aus Natural Protein's Grass-Fed Whey is the highest quality available. But did you know having some for brekkie will keep you fuller for longer and lower glucose levels?

Acute studies show that addition of whey protein at breakfast has a glucose-lowering effect through increased incretin and insulin secretion, but it's long term effect has not been known until now.

In a recent study, 56 type-2 diabetics were given either a whey protein-based breakfast, a varied protein source diet or a high carbohydrate breakfast.

After 12 weeks, all participants were measured for markers of type-2 diabetes.

The whey protein-based breakfast group showed the greatest reduction in post meal blood glucose, insulin, C-peptide, iGLP-1 and satiety scores. The whey protein-based breakfast group also showed the greatest reduction in HbA1c, and lost the most weight.

Time to crack out that blender and start planning your whey breakfast people!

A favourite of ours (and a hit with the kids) goes like this:

1 small banana (or half a big one) 🍌
3-4 strawberries🍓
60g Aus Natural Protein Pure Vanilla Bean
1 stock ice-cube
2 tablespoons of yoghurt
1 cup your fave milk (or coconut water)

Blend it up and garnish with strawberry🍓
(In the image we've layered smoothie and yoghurt because why not!)

Enjoy!
