Energy boosting breakfast you can have at your desk

Wednesday, 13 June 2012 10:31 AM

Despite knowing that breakfast improves our focus and energy levels, it is only too often that breakfast becomes a second priority to the ever-growing in-tray, that sneaky trip to the gym and the bark from the boss. Maxitone has launched the ‘Sculptress Diet’, a healthy desk breakfast for women on the go. Sculptress Diet is convenient, quick, and easy and only requires water.

The shakes are a high protein breakfast option with added weight loss nutrients CLA and Green Tea offering balanced nutrition to support weight loss goals. The high protein content burns more calories, reduces the feelings of hunger for longer periods of time and reduces cravings whilst supporting a healthy diet.

Dr Adam Carey said: “Protein helps to burn more calories and reduces cravings whilst giving you more energy to exercise harder and for longer.”

Sculptress Diet is the ideal handbag buddy for women with an active lifestyle and can be consumed straight after working out, whilst on the move or at your desk. Milkshake flavours include strawberry sundae, banana split and chocolate delight.
