More protein at breakfast

christinepatrice

I seem to be lacking when it comes to having protein in my diet. However during lunch and dinner i can get it in there some but i would like to be able to have it balanced across all meals. Any suggestions on how to get protein in my diet at breakfast?

By the way: I don't eat eggs. so that as an option is out completely.

turkey "bacon", vegetarian "bacon", baked beans, refried beans, mexe beans, mushrooms,

ricotta pancakes: 1 cup of ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup wheat flour, 1/2 cup buckwheat flour (or another wheat-free flour), 1 egg, 300ml low fat milk

Skinny latte?

Nuts on top of your oatmeal/cereal?

Protein shakes, Old fashioned peanut butter (where the ingredients are only peanuts and salt), spinach... I honestly get the most protein from shakes and egg whites - I scramble them with some spinach - tasty and full of protein

thanks for the ideas you guys... turkey bacon (yum!) i do eat but i can't on a daily basis. as far as oatmeal is concerned as long as i can have the flavored kinds i can do it.. something about plain oatmeal makes me gag. i have mixed nuts as a snack i have yet to eat so i assume they would help too if i actually consumed them.

Oatmeal made with skim or 1% milk! About 13-15g of protien!

I'm the same way. I like Quaker Maple And Brown Sugar oatmeal

Have you got some sort of food aversion or extremely complicated allergy or something?

How about protein pancakes? I make the batter ahead of time and leave it in the fridge...very quick to cook it up in the mornings and my kids love them!
