Protein friendly breakfast

fitbethlin

I am trying to find breakfasts that have a good amount of protein (20-30g) but that don't use eggs. I really do like breakfast foods for breakfast rather than trying to do something like eat lunch or dinner foods.

Currently, this is one of my fav breakfasts. Sweet potato, potato, bacon, black beans in a hash, with a dollop of creamy avocado. But it really shines when I put a runny egg on the top.

My other go-to is breakfast burritos....with eggs. I just want to keep my diet diverse (nothing against eggs), so any ideas would be appreciated.

With no eggs at all, I'd go yoghurt with protein powder mixed through, some berries and nuts.

Or oats with protein powder and whatever add ins you like.

I make protein pancakes, but they have egg

What about smoothies? My favorite is protein powder or greek yogurt, PB2 or reg PB, banana, spinach, flax/chia, cashew milk.

I have protein enriched cereal most days. Get me 18g protein with no prep or cooking to do!

I second smoothies

Thanks! I use smoothies with protein powder pretty regularly (mango-basil-vanilla and almond-avocado-green-tea are currently doing it for me), but i eat a lot of small meals during the day. I'm hoping to add some more solid food recipes into the rotation. I need to explore high protein cereals, and maybe add fruit....

Eggs are usually my staple, but I sometimes mix it up with protein pancakes, protein donuts (recipe on flapJacked bag), Greek yogurt with protein powder and berries, cereal and milk w/unflavored protein powder mixed in, protein bar with glass of high protein milk, muffins made with protein powder...and sometimes even Halo Top.

The sweet potato hash with no egg but with more bacon and burritos, topped with greek yogurt and/or cheese.

The breakfast burritos with no eggs but more of whatever other protein source it has, topped with greek yogurt and/or cheese.

Fresh fruit and greek yogurt or cottage cheese.

overnight oats w/peanut butter powder and greek yogurt.

I eat 2 slices of bread, cream cheese and ham, buy you should find brands that are higher in protein and lower in fats. Protein: 6+2.6+10=18.6

Other suggestions

Greek yogurt with fruits
Cottage cheese on bread with green onion, dills
Something with milk like oats, quinoa or any other porridge, smoothie
Milk ice cream (homemade)
Pancakes,cookies with protein powder
Protein bar

smoked fish with cottage cheese on bread, greek yoghurt with fruits and mixed in protein powder, protein powder cheesecake.

Greek yogurt, I prefer Aldi's brand vanilla flavored, with Kashi Golean cereal. I used the vanilla pepita cereal this morning and it was 29 grams of protein. Usually keeps me feeling full till lunch no problem. I haven't used any protein powders yet but am considering it for smoothie snacks. I would second the turkey sausage except it seems to be getting harder to find, at least in my area.

Plain greek yogurt, add a scoop of chocolate protein. Tastes amazing, about 45g protein.

For the peeps recommending the high protein cereals... Can you give specifics on the ones you like?
