Tips for adding protein to breakfast.

protein powder in pancake mix

precooked Turkey sausage patties (Jimmy dean) on a whole grain English Muffin

Mini quiche cups (any ingredients you would put in an omelette - mix together, bake in a muffin tin @ 350 about 20 minutes) you can make these on a Sunday and have 2-3 per serving a couple of times per week.

I always cook on Sunday and store in freezer bags. This way you can grab and go...

Good luck.

Egg beaters and turkey sausage!!!

canadian bacon or lean ham. Also, scrambled eggs cook well in the microwave.

Add protein powder to your oatmeal, DONE! I also add peanut butter or pb2, flax, nuts, almond milk, etc to balance it out. Now that's a meal.

2 scoops Oats, 2 scoops strawberry protein shake, 2 eggs - in a shaker, 300ml cold water. JOB DONE.

Cals:512 (Carbs:27 Fat:18 Protein:59) including slow burn carbs filling up till lunch, Essential fatty acids, 2 types of protein, 300mls water towards 8 glasse a day. No need to cook anything, eaten on the move, tasty, cleaned in seconds...

EDIT: Above macro figures are grams not % before it looks like bad math :P

vanilla protein powder in oatmeal
tofu
egg whites (scrambled, added to oatmeal)
greek yogurt

I have no idea what type of greek yoghurt everyone else is using, but my full fat shop brand version is not HIGH in protein. Or is this just me?! I do not class yoghurt as added protein, it is an addition to most other things, carbs and fat, oh it adds some protein, but I would have to eat a whole 500g container just to get 21g of protein.

I add plain Greek yogurt to my oatmeal (along with fruit, honey, walnuts and cinnamon - it's delicious!) - and I would get the full fat version, but it's only got 9g of protein per cup, where the 2% has 24g! Huge difference! No clue why the full fat would have so much less, but for that reason I get the 2%.

My plain 0% has 18g protein per 3/4 cup. With a tsp of honey and a 0.75 yougury serving I'm at 12g and under 100kcal. I suggest shopping around and playing the label game, especially if you like yougurt. Lots of choices.

Have a smoothie! Mix your favourite fruits, protein powder and some greek yogurt into a blender and whirrrrr away. Very high in protein and super filling. Sometimes I add high fibre foods into the smoothie to make it even more filling.

I also second protein powder in pancake mix.. more sources of protein include eggs, even chicken for breakfast (I've done it), fish, etc,..

Also pay attention to labels because not all products are the same. I've seen the popular brand of greek yogurt actually have more fat and calories than the store brand which had 18g of protein and 0g fat. Saved me a few bucks.

Good luck

Now I want to eat oatmeal instead of scrambled eggs for breakfast. New meal added to possible meals list. Thanks!

I eat my granola (or cereal) with greek yogurt every day instead of milk. I just can't stomach meat early in the morning. If greek yogurt is too bitter for you, add a little honey.

I'm trying to add a protein serving to my breakfast. My usual breakfast is cereal - either oatmeal, or multigrain hot cereal, or shredded wheat along with fruit and milk. The easiest way to add protein has been to add a quarter cup of nuts (usually almonds or walnuts) but they are so high in calories. I'm not really awake enough in the morning to want to cook something like an egg, and it doesn't really appeal. I eat lots of eggs, but not for breakfast. Anyone have any suggestions?

Try to make protein balls- paunut butter ones- there is many reciopes on pinterest.

I also make oatmeal miffins- healthy ones and freeze them and have them with fruit. Just look for recipes that have high protein. check out pinterest!

Protein Powder gives you about 26g of Protein and if you mix it with unsweetend Almond milk it's only about 170cals and it's really tasty and filling.

Chobani - Greek Yogurt Plain Non-Fat 6 oz has 18g of protein.

Possibly being thick here, but as long as you have enough protein the rest of the day why do you specifically want to add it to breakfast? I generally have cereal or porridge for breakfast, and have the protein the rest of th day.

Or if you don't want to cook in the morning how about a continental breakfast of cheese, ham etc. with a roll (not a croissant - they're just fat on a plate!!)

Kashi Go Lean Original cereal has 13g protein 10g fiber. All of the other suggestions are great too, but if you like to eat cereal here is a list of high protein cereals: http://www.fitsugar.com/Cereals-High-Fiber-Protein-21137567
