    I usually have my Herbalife shake and you can mix this with soy milk to make a total of 20 grams of protein. You can also add oat meal for texture.

    Sometimes I make protein cookies for quick breakfast when I don't have time for eggs. My favourites are dead simple

    2 tbsp natural peanut butter
    2 serves chocolate protein powder
    About 1 tbsp of milk

    Mix it all together, you'll get a crumbly dough. Just press it into balls and microwave for about 40 secs. Makes about 5 medium cooked. Really good

    I mix Greek yogurt with no-salt added cottage cheese. Sometimes I'll add protein powder if I want more protein, or granola if I have the calories to spare (or if I'm extra hungry), but I'll almost always add some ground flax seed.

    No salt cottage cheese has pretty much ZERO flavour, but I love it added to Greek yogurt because it ups the protein levels a lot.

    Turkey Sausage, Greek Yogurt, Try Kashi Go Lean Original instead of oatmeal for a while it has 13g of protein per serving. Try skim milk too and whey protein. FInd a good protein pancake recipe.

    I usually do banana protein pancakes.

    1/2 C Quick Oats
    1/2 C 2% Fat Cottage Cheese
    1 scoop protein powder - I use Protizyme Protein Powder
    1/2tsp Cinnamon
    1/2tsp vanilla extract
    1 small ripe banana
    1/2 c egg whites

    41g Protein, 404cal, 4g fat

    For syrup you can use a sugar free syrup or even a sugar free jelly! It's delicious :)

    You can eat the entire batch! But, good luck - it's a lot lol. I tend to eat this 30 minutes before a workout and then following my workout within 30 minutes afterwards.

    Add protein powder and use milk instead of water. I strongly suggest Unjury protein powder.. it's ridiculously good.

    Eat egg whites or try Morning Star Veggie Sausage maple flavor. It's crazy good too! The little sausage patty has 80 cals and 10g of protein and it's tasty :)

    As far as sodium in cottage cheese, Breakstone has come out with a lower sodium version but that's the only brand I've seen do that.

    How do you get protein into your breakfasts? I've been eating a lot of cold oatmeal lately and it's delicious but I need more protein to stay full! What do you eat for breakfast that is packed with protein? I love eggs but just recently found out I have an intolerance to them :(

    I have my oatmeal with yoghurt and a scoop of whey protein. The chocolate is my favourite. :-)

    I love these spinach, mushroom, and egg muffin cups that I make.. They are easy, the recipe makes several and they warm up nicely! I also like some banana, oat muffins with natural peanut butter spread on them, and some milk!

    I add whey protein to my oatmeal before cooking it in the microwave with water. I then top with nuts/fruit/greek yogurt etc.

    Can you consume dairy? My go to is eggs but other than that I go with greek yogurt. It's a bit more expensive than normal yogurt but has about twice the protein.

    You could mix protein powder into your oatmeal to up the protein amount. I do that now and again. I love making a protein packed granola that you could eat with yogurt for a pretty good breakfast. Mix up oatmeal, protein powder, a few nuts/seeds and some honey and a sweetener you like.. bake until crispy (tons of recipes online!).

    I put greek yogart in my refrigerator oatmeal and sometimes either add protein powder or a tablespoon of peanutbutter or almond butter. Proportion wise I use 1/4 oats, 1/4 yogart and 1/3 cup almond milk and then add whatever else. The yogart really kicks the flavor up as well IMO so it's a win/win. I prefer the tast of Almond Milk, but if you switch to skim that will also increase the protein content of you're oatmeal.

    Protein shake with banana and almond milk? That's what I have for dinner after my workouts in the evening but you could easily make that for a delicious breakfast.

    Protein shake made w/ unsweetened almond milk (low cal and high calcium) and frozen berries. Sometimes I put yogurt in it since I am not a big fan of yogurt alone. It's great to drink on the way to work!

    pasted from a post i made a day or two ago. takes <5 min to prepare and 5 min to make:

    granted, i havent tried many- but after reading the reviews on the recipe below, i had to try it. This recipe gets its protein from the egg whites and cottage cheese- no protein powder is needed. For those of you who dislike cottage cheese (like i do!)- NEVER FEAR- i swear you don't taste it! My husband and i made this over the weekend for the first time, doubled the recipe and added 2 TBSP of PB2 for extra flavor (who knows if it made a difference or not). but we both agree- delicious (reminded me a french toast) and FILLING! we put a little sugar free syrup on it, and then declared we will make this every weekend :)

    1 Serving is 3medium sized pancakes
    the calorie count below is for the ingredients i used (to include the extra 22 cals and respective macros for each serving of the PB2)
    Calories - 340, Total Fat - 7g, Carb. - 37g, Protein - 32g, Fiber - 6g


    1/2 cup Oats (we used 1-min oats, but im sure most will work)
    1/2 cup cottage cheese (we used 2% because thats what we had)
    1/2 cup egg beaters or egg whites (we used egg whites- 1/2c= 4 egg whites)
    1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
    1/2 tsp. baking powder
    1/2 tsp. cinnamon
    dash of salt
    water ( optional ) (we didnt use any)

    1. Combine all ingredients in blender or food processor and process until smooth and combined. About 30 seconds to 1 minutes. If batter seems too thick to you, add a bit of water to loosen.

    2. Heat med nonstick skillet that has been sprayed with cooking spray on med-high heat. Add batter the way you would for any normal pancake and spread evenly. When bubbles form on top and the edges start to get dry, flip and cook other side. Repeat with the rest of batter.

    enjoy. and thank me later. seriously- SO GOOD!

Makes a large Biggy cup full that I sip on all morning until early afternoon. This is the 65 grams of protien you should have daily. I love it.
