You could make a smoothie with greek yogurt, strawberries, protein powder and skim milk. Yumm0

Maybe you can add some protein powder to cereal? Never tried it personally though.
I just did that this morning...Ran out of eggs so I had cold cereal and added chocolate whey protein to the lowfat milk left in my bowl.
You can also add cottage cheese or protein powder to oatmeal as it is cooking. You don't even notice it.0 -
greek yogurt/protein powder smoothies.
Chocolate whey powder/peanut butter/plain greek yogurt or
vanilla whey powder/frozen mixed berries/plain greek yogurt.
These are my 2 favorites.0 -
Eggs. Cook a bunch when you have time and keep them in the fridge. I usually do this. Well, used to. Greek yogurt is good too.0

I eat greek yogurt and protein powder every morning its gives me almost 50g of protein!0
-
Google "refrigerator oats". Make it ahead of time and just grab it. Use any combination of Greek yogurt, regular yogurt or (skim) milk. You could probably throw protein powder in it as well. Mmmm.0

I like to have 3 or 4 scrambled egg whites with cottage cheese if I need a protein boost.0

Thank you again for all the replies :-)
Have looked up refrigerator oats ( I liked someone called it 'summer porridge') and I am so looking forward to trying that out. Definitely my favourite shout :-D But thanks to everyone who took time out to reply. You made my day :-)0 -
YES! I do this with frosted mini wheats and 2% greek yogurt, its SO amazing!!!0

I'm addicted to Piller's breakfast ham. I love it more than bacon!0

I have a 3 & 5 year old. I cook steel cut oats in the crockpot overnight (you can google this or find a recipe on Pinterest). I add chia/hemp seeds (for a little extra protein) to my cooked oatmeal. I usually cook them in water, but you can add milk for extra protein.
Like others have said, I also boil a dozen eggs and keep them in the fridge to grab-and-go.
The kids love cottage cheese in the morning too. Another quick go-to is nitrate-free chicken sausage. Just heat and eat.0 -
I always have turkey sausage links in the freezer; just pop them in the microwave for a minute. I think 3 links has 8 g of protein.0
-
Greek yogurt would be my first thought. I eat Liberté lactose-free Greek yogurt which has 18g of protein per 3/4 cup.0

greek yogurt ...eggs..... oatmeal with protein powder.... Peanut butter.0

I have the same issue because I prefer oatmeal for breakfast...BUT I have started adding egg whites (boiled or scrambled). It really makes a difference! I have also enjoyed the Smart Ones breakfast sandwich (turkey sausage).0

Back bacon, Lean sausages, meat balls, eggs, protein pancakes (made from oats, eggs, milk)
hmmmm I've never thought of meatballs as a breakfast food but what a great idea. ...totally portable too!0 -

blasphemy!!!0 -
I would just add that I recently discovered that a smoothie can be made the night before and keeps pretty well in fridge till morning! I like spinach, greek yogurt, banana, scoop of vanilla protein powder...0

I am with Seabee on this one. I love Dannon Light and fit Greek yogurt. 80 calories, 0 fat, 12 grams of protein and loads of yummy flavors. Several berry flavors, peach, blueberry etc and even caramel macchiato. I am amazed how it satisfies me till lunch time.:flowerforyou: also try PB2 powdered peanut butter. You mix 2 tbs with 1 tbs water, keep in refrig. it has 45 calories instead of 200 and has lots of protein, and 2 grams of fat instead of 16. only ingredient is dried peanuts, a little sugar and salt. Good luck0

I generally add vanilla protein powder to my oatmeal. and I have an awesome meal replacement shake I use when i'm really crunched for time.0
