Breakfast on days when you can't afford it. I've prepared bread, drinks, and salad, but maybe I don't have enough protein ... I think it's a common story.


We recommend the cup soup, which is sold by Knorr, a soup that allows you to get a good amount of protein. An instant soup containing protein, vitamin D, calcium, etc. Two bags are included in one box, and the purchase price at the supermarket is 235 yen (tax included).


There are two flavors, "corn cream potage" and "potage". In each case, you can get 8g (0.28oz) of protein (equivalent to about 235ml (7.95us fl oz) of milk) with one cup.


The standard protein intake for an adult is about 20g (0.71oz). Since the protein mass of one piece of bread is about 5.6g (0.21oz), it is possible to clear about 13.6g (0.21oz), about 70%, even for breakfast with only bread and soup.

This time I tried corn cream potage. The method of making is the same as normal cup soup, put the contents of the bag in a cup, pour boiling water and stir well to complete. Note that the amount of hot water is 120 ml, which is rather small.




The creamy and mellow taste of corn is retained, but it is richer and richer than regular cup soup. It doesn't contain any ingredients such as corn or croutons, but it's thick and chewy, so you'll be fully satisfied. The calorie is 130kcal per cup, which is about twice that of the regular product "Plenty of corn cream" (66kcal).


There was no particular discomfort in the taste that I was concerned about. It's not exactly the same as a regular product, but I didn't feel the unpleasant flavor peculiar to health foods. Normally delicious.

If you replace your usual cup soup with this, you can easily supplement your protein not only in the morning when you don't have time, but also in snacks. If you are concerned about nutritional balance, why not take it in!
