    This morning I had a scramble: one egg, one egg white, tiny piece of feta cheese, a little spinach, a little onion and a little sun dried tomato. It had a lot of flavor and really filled me up.

    Kodiak instant oatmeal has 12 grams of protein, is ready in 45 seconds, and is delicious!

    If you have time to cook eggs—I also like eggs scrambled with cottage cheese in them. They never get “done” looking. Never really set. I like that soft, moist texture, as well as the cheesy taste. It adds protein.

    I my try adding cottage cheese to my scrambled eggs. How much do you use?

    Here's my current recipe:

    I also have no time in the mornings, always rushing to feed 3 teenagers and get them all out the door on time.

    Great ideas above. I do a protein smoothie with plain greek yogurt (15 grams protein) and vanilla plant based protein powder (21 grams protein) - equals about 36 grams of protein and under 300 calories.

    Also, if you want eggs, google "egg breakfast muffins recipe", there are a bunch of different ways to make ahead muffin shaped little egg cups and then just pop one or two in the microwave each morning. You can add broccoli, ham, spinach, onion, cheese, whatever you want. Make a big batch on Sunday and reheat through the week.

    Maybe I'll start making those again... they sound wonderful :).

    I'm always looking for ways to add more protein since we don't eat meat (we do eat eggs and dairy).

    Yes, lots of recipes for egg breakfast muffins on allrecipes.com and the reviewers agree that they freeze well.
