These healthy protein breakfasts will help you stay energized to tackle your day!
Everyone always says that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and we have to agree. Eating a filling breakfast will keep you full of energy to achieve all of your tasks, making you feel productive. The hard part is figuring out what exactly you should eat. We’ve got you covered. Here are 7 healthy protein breakfast ideas that will keep you full all morning!
A breakfast burrito is a great way to pack something portable with all the veggies and protein you need to sustain yourself all morning. Fill this burrito with beans, sweet potato, and some scrambled eggs for the perfect savory breakfast. Burritos are also great for meal-prepping!
Overnight oats are a fun and versatile way to get the nutrients you need in the morning while still being able to mix it up. To make your overnight oats higher protein, add some peanut butter or pumpkin seeds to the oats and mix it in. The extra proteins and fats will keep you completely satisfied until lunch!
Sometimes you have a little bit more time in the morning to make yourself something special. Usually, pancakes are pretty light considering they're basically flour and water. Adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder is the easiest way to make these a little bit denser. Another fun way to add protein is by scooping a few dollops of Greek yogurt into the batter!
If you’re on a plant-based diet and are still looking for a breakfast that isn’t eggs or oatmeal, here’s the perfect one. Smash some tofu into the texture of scrambled eggs and make yourself a high protein tofu scramble. Use your favorite spices to give the chickpeas some flavor and serve on some hot toast. Using turmeric will dye the tofu yellow, mimicking the color of regular scrambled eggs.
Savory oatmeal is very much a thing and incredibly delicious. Instead of using milk when cooking, use vegetable broth or even plain water to cook the oats. Add all the spices your heart desires and all of your favorite veggies. For high protein, add tofu, tempeh, eggs, or even just beans! This meal will remind you of a little bit of grits-like texture, and it won’t disappoint.
Of course, if you have a major sweet tooth, you can still have sweetened oatmeal for breakfast. To make a high protein sweet oatmeal, you can add ingredients like chia seeds, flax seeds, peanut butter, or your go-to nuts as a topping. Sprinkle some cinnamon and maple syrup and it’s the perfect breakfast.
Sometimes all you need for breakfast is to get back to basics. A simple egg scramble will have tons of protein on its own, but you can add more by adding some extra veggies or beans and make it a Southwestern-style scramble. Serve on toast and devour it!
