Tips To Eat More Protein At Breakfast

To increase your breakfast protein, incorporate foods like eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, nuts, seeds, and lean meats. You can add these to recipes such as protein smoothies, overnight oats, tofu scrambles, or yogurt bowls, or try simple options like cottage cheese on toast. Aiming for 20-40 grams of protein at breakfast can help you feel more satisfied and energized throughout the morning. 

High-Protein Foods to Add:

• Meat: Chicken, turkey, or smoked salmon can be added to breakfast meals. 

• Plant-Based: Tofu, beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds (like chia, flax, and hemp seeds) are great options for a plant-based boost. 

• Protein Powder: Whey, pea, or collagen powder can be added to smoothies and oats. 

• Dairy: Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and kefir are excellent sources of protein. 
• Eggs: An easy and popular protein source; one large egg contains about 6 grams of protein. 

High-Protein Breakfast Ideas:

• Smoothie Bowls: Blend fruits, vegetables, and a source of protein like Greek yogurt or protein powder. 

• Overnight Oats or Chia Pudding: Mix your oats or chia seeds with milk or yogurt and add protein powder, nuts, and seeds. 

• Tofu or Egg Scrambles: Add tofu or extra eggs and egg whites to your scramble, plus beans or cheese for more protein. 

• Yogurt Parfait: Layer Greek yogurt with berries and nuts or seeds. 

• Cottage Cheese Toast: Spread cottage cheese on toast and top with fruit or savory ingredients. 

• Protein Pancakes or Waffles: Use high-protein pancake mixes or add cottage cheese to your batter.​
