Breaking a 16-hour fast is about nourishing your body with the right balance of nutrients to refuel and recover without causing a blood sugar spike or overwhelming your digestive system. A powerful yet gentle solution is combining Millie's Sipping Broth with high-quality unflavored protein powder.
Why This Combination Works
Millie’s Sipping Broth offers a warm, savory base, making it a great alternative to sugary protein drinks. When paired with unflavored protein powders like whey, pea, or soy protein, it creates a satisfying, nutrient-packed beverage that’s easy to digest and loaded with essential amino acids.
This combination:
- Provides sustained energy without a sugar rush.
- Supports muscle recovery with high-quality protein.
- Soothes the digestive system with a warm, gentle beverage.
How to Prepare
- Steep the Broth or Just add it all in: Choose your favorite Millie's Sipping Broth flavor and steep a broth bag in hot water or rip open the bag and put it all in.
- Add Protein Powder: Whisk in a scoop of unflavored protein powder until smooth. The warm broth helps the powder dissolve evenly.
- Sip and Enjoy: You now have a delicious, savory drink to gently ease your body back into eating.
Versatile Uses
While this drink is perfect on its own, you can also use it as a base for a light soup. Add steamed veggies or lean protein for an even more nourishing post-fast meal.
