No matter how experienced you are, skiing is not an easy task. It's no doubt that skiing is exciting and fun. There are very few sports that can provide the same rush that skiing down a snow-covered mountain can. Plus, the location is beautiful!While fun, skiing is also a lot of work for both your mind and body. An average day on the slopes skiing can burn up to 3,000 calories! That's a lot more than most people burn in a day, which means you'll need a lot more fuel to stay energized. Because skiing uses a variety of muscles that you don't use in everyday life, it's necessary to fuel your body with the right nutrition to repair those muscles quickly, so you can get back to enjoying the holiday season free of sore muscles.To make the most out of your ski trip this season, start each day by fueling up with a breakfast that is high in protein and fiber. Eating a meal that's high in protein first thing in the morning may help control the rate at which your body releases energy, making sure that you have enough to last until lunchtime!We've rounded up five tasty and easy breakfast recipes to help you prep for a long day on the mountain.
Featuring our Maple Sea Salt Pan Baked Granola, this recipe is a protein-packed breakfast that will provide your body with enough energy to fuel all of your adventures.

Granola also works to keep your body energized and full until your next meal.
