I’ve been working really hard to make sure I get protein in every meal and it all starts with breakfast! While I love adding protein powder to my recipes, a lot of time you don’t even need it to get a decent amount of protein from other sources.
Here are 20 of our most popular high-protein breakfast recipes from eggs to pancakes to smoothies with at least 20g of protein per serving! LFG.
I’ve always had a thing for breakfast. From the time I was very young, I was always the first one up in the household, cooking breakfast for the family. I remember I was always so excited when it was my sister’s birthday so that I could serve her breakfast in bed (re: banana oatmeal pancakes!).
Today we are chatting all things high protein breakfast foods. While I love me a thick stack of carb-filled pancakes, sometimes I want to get more protein in before I leave for the day so that I stay fuller longer and feel good about my morning eats.
There are so many great high protein breakfast foods out there and sometimes it can be overwhelming. Here are 5 tips to help make it easier to pack in the protein:
- When in doubt, make a protein shake. We have a super helpful guide to protein shakes on Fit Foodie Finds with 30+ flavor ideas!
- Eggs are your friend! Whether you prefer hard-boiled eggs, baked eggs, scrambled eggs, or frittatas, 1 large egg has 6g protein.
- Always have protein powder on hand. You can add protein powder to smoothies, oatmeal, pancakes, etc. and it’s such a great way to get added protein. Check out our guide to protein powder for some recommendations.
- Meal prep at the beginning of the week. This will save you time and make breakfast a breeze! Here’s our favorite meal-prep breakfast recipes.
- Don’t be so hard on yourself! Remember, eating healthy should be about balance.
