    I'm not a breakfasty person at breakfast time so I like a piece of toast with turkey and reduced fat cheese sometimes.

    Bacon, sausage, egg. Though this is unbalanced with perhaps too much protein, so you can even it out with mushrooms and tomatoes. Maybe some bread. And a hash brown.

    Egg beaters with fat free cheese in a low carb tortilla would equate to about 20 grams of protein. Add chicken or black beans for even more protein. You can mix flavored protein powder into greek yogurt. There are also recipes for protein powder bars, cookies, blondies, etc. that would taste awesome :smile:

    Ohsheglows has great "green monster" smoothies. Otherwise, Sprint 2 the Table has good smoothies, KathEats has awesome smoothies in a bowl, Katshealthcorner.wordpress.com has a great list of green smoothies: http://katshealthcorner.wordpress.com/2012/09/11/what-kat-ate-7-day-green-smoothie-challenge-update.

    Hope this helps!

    Plain fat free Greek Yogurt with fresh fruit. Or Protein Puffycakes or joy is my favourite at the moment. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/768329-protein-puffycakes-of-joy?hl=protein+puffycake+of+joy#posts-11407826

    Everything everyone has said!

    But, as far as using fat-free things, or Egg Beaters, go with the full-fat cheese and regular eggs.

    The less processed, the better and the small amount of fat will help keep you fuller for longer.

    They taste great. You get a balance of carbs and protein. If you want to buy a whey protein powder, buy it from myprotein, decent price (even after the 20% tax that the government added to all supplements :mad: )

    a bit pricey but I have yet to find a better high protein breakfast that gives me a boost and keeps me fill for a really long price then these:

    http://www.amazon.com/Pure-Protein-Chocolate-Deluxe-Ounces/dp/B001G8Y8VM

    I buy them from a local store and save alot but they are still a it steep to eat every day. I work night shifts and take one in to eat in the very early hours for my breakfast, then Im not hungry again untill about 2 in the afternoon!

    I like to throw a frozen banana, scoop of protein powder, PB2, and light soy milk into a blender. About 330 cal. and 35g protein. Keeps me full till lunch and it is easy and FAST!

    Egg white protein with 1% or skim milk. 24 grams of protein per serving (just in the protein powder). I had the same problem, and that was my doctor's suggestion for me to add protein in general. I sometimes have it just as a snack, or have it along with some fruit, whole-wheat toast w/ peanutbutter, or something else to make it a little more "filling". I get the vanilla flavor - it's not bad (but I would suggest not mixing it with water - tastes like crap!)

    I like easy stuff - too lazy to get up early enough to actually cook breakfast. Some days I will have FFGreek yogurt, string cheese, light cream cheese on half a wheat bagel, cottage cheese, or hard-boiled eggs. All quick, easy, and portable.

    I go for either

    Eggs & toast with black coffee (325 cals,19g protein) - I use XL whole eggs, fried in a bit of coconut oil, whole wheat toast with butter.

    or

    Multi-grain oatmeal with Greek yogurt, fruit, walnuts, honey & cinnamon (around 400 cals, 16g protein) - 1 serving of oatmeal, 1/4 cup yogurt, 1/8 cup walnuts, 1 tbs honey & whatever fruit I have, bananas, pears, blueberries, raisins, etc.

    If I've had a big workout that morning, I'll go with 3 eggs or a 1/2c of the yogurt for more protein. :smile:

    Recently I made this http://pinterest.com/pin/21814379416469549/ (one piece of whole grain toast with egg and avocado on top) and it was DEEELISH! The combo of protein and healthy fat made it very satisfying.

    More ideas here, and here:

    I had a hamburger patty this morning. I usually just make an additional serving of whatever we are having for supper and have that as breakfast. Why are traditional breakfast foods so carby? (Cereal, pancakes, waffles, toast, oats- SHEESH!)

    It keeps me full until lunch and after sometimes. :)

    I am a big believer in protein from foods. hard boiled eggs are a great source. Poached eggs are good, too. If you go for a protein powder I'd suggest the Protein 7 Synthesis - Vanilla. It taste great and it has 34g of protein with no sugar. Good stuff.

    ^This. Keep in mind that protein powder is also a processed food. Lately, I've been making egg salad sandwiches on whole wheat buns. Lots of protein and fiber to fill you up with a little bit of fat to keep you full. when I remember on the weekends to boil beans, I will also add those in for extra non-animal protein and to up the fiber.

    I make a scramble with 1 Omega Egg, 2 or 3 egg whites, and veggies (I like onions, peppers and greens).

    I have always been a protein junky, Steak,chicken any meat left over from the night before, just grab and eat. I like cottage cheese in the morning. If you like shakes I will put a cup of strawberry yogurt, cup of OJ, 1 banana, 1 cup of milk, raw egg, beneprotein in the blender. This makes 24 oz of smoothie. Even my husband likes it. You can add flax seed as well, up to 1/4 cup.

    1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    2 scoops vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder (dissolved in the milk)
    1 cup Kashi Go Lean!

    Holy 47 grams of protein! Of course, cow's milk would give you even more, I just prefer almond.

    I just take one scoop of whey protein in water to wash down my vitamins. It does not get much easier.
