According to new research conducted by Alpro, the Irish are a nation of go-getters, with more than 46% of respondents tackling four to 16 tasks by 7am each day.
The survey*, undertaken to celebrate the arrival of the new Alpro Plant Protein range, found a nation of go-getters with everyday essentials like starting a wash load, emptying the dishwasher and getting showered before breakfast.
Alpro also found that almost three-quarters (74%) of respondents complete their entire morning routine in less than 60 minutes.
Almost every Irish person (96%) recognise the importance of protein in their diet, yet only 8% feel their morning routine delivers a protein punch.

“Our research shows that although Ireland is a nation of early risers, we haven’t cracked our protein intake at the start of the day,” said Lydia Cummins, brand manager, Alpro.
Although almost all Irish people recognise the importance of protein in their diet, a third don’t have enough in their breakfast.
“We may be good at getting up early, but we also need to start our day in the right way. Our Alpro protein range is the perfect yummy protein treat, packed with plant-based goodness**.”
Rugby legend
Alpro challenged rugby legend Donncha O’Callaghan to put an unrealistic morning routine to the test, proving you don’t need any iconic celebrity regime.
The Alpro Plant Protein Morning Trials were no walk in the park for Donncha.
He had to wake up at the crack of dawn (2:30am), squeeze in multiple intense gym sessions, and even brave an ice bath.
Alpro Plant Protein range is packed with protein making them a great addition throughout the most hectic mornings.
Heres how Donncha got on.
