Hi everyone!!

Recently I discovered the Ultimate Protein pancakes. They are packed with protein and I have become addicted to them because they keep me so full for ages and whenever I have them I stick to my daily calories. But I can't have pancakes every day!

So, I am wondering if anyone knows any yummy breakfasts with similar protein in it? I like to eat real food for breakfast, not into shakes at that time of day. Also, I don't eat tomatoes and I am not a salad fan. Other than that, I am open to suggestions!! PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!

The pancake stats are : 314 calories, 34g carbs and 43g protein. When I add in the coconut oil and topping it usually is about 450-500 Cals. So Im not worried if your suggestion is up to 500 Cals, as long as it keeps me full!!

    No reason not to have pancakes every day if that's what you enjoy!

    I make my own protein pancakes using the following:
    Egg whites
    Whey powder
    Dash of milk
    1 tsp psyllium husks
    Cinnamon to taste

    Topped with PB and Nutella comes to around 500 cals and 50-60 G protein, depending on quantities.

    Other high protein brekkies of mine include:
    Greek yoghurt mixed with flavoured whey, topped with granola and berries
    Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with toasted bagel
    Egg white omelette with cottage cheese and veggies

    roll oats with peanut butter and protien powder. I find that oats really keep me feeling full and i think everything tastes good with peanut butter. :smile:

    I make my own protein 'yoghurt'. Freeze some bananas, berries, avocado or whatever fruits you like. Throw them in a blender with a bit of coconut milk and protein powder. Give it a whizz and add more coconut milk if needed for the right consistency. The macros will be based on how much of what you use but protein will be the highest.. You can then top it woth some seeds, nuts, bit of honey or some fresh fruits!

    Nearly every single day I have 1/2 cup rolled oats cooked in 1 cup of water (or liquid of your choice), add 1/2 cup egg whites and 1 whole egg and 1 banana. Also I add cinnamon and imitation vanilla extract. So warm and filling! Perfect for cold NZ mornings! haha Comes in around 400 calories :)

    I eat skyr or low fat fromage frais, topped with defrosted berries (I like to make them a bit warm), sweetner, and spices (cinnamon, cardemom, ginger), and maybe some toasted oats :) It's the best thing ever!

    If you do 600g skyr, 150g berries, 10g oats, and a bit of spice and sweetner it comes out with 61g protein for 481 calories.

    600g skyr is a lot though! I gurantee that it will keep you full :)

    Low fat fromage frais has similar protein and calories, but it's a lot less hyped around here, so I can get that for 2/3rds of the price of skyr. Don't know if it's the same situation where you are at, but just a tip if skyr is expensive!

    You can make some frittatas. Typically I use half a bag of crumbled sausage, onions, peppers, 4 eggs, 240g of egg whites and some reduced fat cheese. It makes 4 servings at about 250 calories and 26g of protein or something.

    I like making crepes with ham, swiss and egg. My crepe recipe is 1 egg, 120g of flour, 300ish ml of milk (that makes about 5), with two of them and topping it's around 450 calories, 35g of protein.

    Lately I've been having protein cheesecake from http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/461619-ny-cheesecake-morph (I use half low fat cream cheese so it's more like 320 calories and 28g of protein but it fills me up for hours).

    You can make protein milkshakes - fat free ricotta, milk, protein powder, your choice of sweetener, some ice cubes.. can add fruit or whatever you like. Or use cottage cheese. I like adding jello instant pudding for a thicker texture too (I hear it doesn't work with almond milk though).

    I've also been known for having leftovers for breakfast - meatloaf, turkey sandwiches...

    That being said, I'm in love with the ultimate protein pancakes too and could totally have them every day :laugh:

    Veggie egg white scramble (3/4 cup) with red onions, red bell pepper, mushrooms and spinach topped with half an avocado (sliced) plus 3 pieces of canadian bacon. 325 calories and 33 grams of protein. You can also add some cottage cheese and fruit if you want to up the calories and protein.

    Poached eggs over greens. Prefer chard but spinach or arugula are good. I quick cook the greens on a hot,steel pan with a mist of olive oil.
    I also have a protein smoothie with 1-2 cups of fruit, whey protein and unsweetened almond milk. I like blueberries and or banana, sometimes add PB2. I had papaya/banana this am.
    I'm going to try that pumpkin smoothly tomorrow!
