High protein breakfasts that are not eggs or Greek yogurt or protein smoothies

Cottage cheese with fruit is a good option.

I also eat dinner leftovers for breakfast sometimes.

Smoked salmon, Canadian bacon, cottage cheese, protein fortified breads...

You can always thin down Greek yogurt with some kind of low calorie milk. My husband does this and eats it with cereal and sliced fruit. Or you can mix in some cottage cheese instead; it has a similar amount of protein as Greek yogurt.

You may be able to find protein fortified pudding mixes, and I think that might be tasty with fruits or other grains.

Fat-free cream cheese or mozzarella could probably be creatively combined with toast and breakfast meats like bacon, sausage, or ham if you want something savory.

And in El Paso (lived there 4 years), it's not unheard-of to have beans with breakfast.

Had a turkey sandwich for breakfast this morning ..

bump - for that fava been thing from Egypt. YUM! I sometimes do turkey lunch meat with cottage cheese... add salt and pepper or hot sauce.

Steak, pork chops, chicken, fish. For starters. I think you see where I'm going with this.

I found i had to change my idea about breakfast food. I still eat a fair amount of omelettes but am now trying to make an extra serving of dinner to reheat, especially if it is a stir fry chicken or meat meal. Metwurst, cheese and a few salad veg eg tomato cucumber etc makes a tasty quick brekky. I'd be happy to hear other suggestions as i find breakfast the most challenging meal especially if you're in a hurry.

Or a breakfast sandwich whith just ham and potatoed if you dont want egg.

Or yummy blueberry pancakes.

Or, i kno this isnt breakfast but tuna in the morning for if you dont want to cook its just one hole tomato choped, 1/4th of an onion choped, one jalapeño diced, and one can of tuna mix in a bowl and squeez a lime or 2 on ig i like mine really sour i eat it with tostadas and rits or those little saltine crakers sometimes i like to put some corn in it

Omg i made me hungry lol

Ooooo I like this crepe idea. I'd probably modify your suggestions to dumb down the cals a bit but still a fantastic idea I found a recipe online for whole grain crepes with the crepe alone being 6g of protein not to mention whatever you stuff it with. eatingwell.com/recipes/whole_grain_crepes.html I know what I'm having tomorrow!

In egypt we eat a dish call Fool. Its high in protein and very filling and is sold at food carts to hard workers who need energy for all day.

In a pan, drop a tsp of ghee. Sautee minced garlic, diced red bell pepper on med low. I like to add a chili pepper too but thats optional.
Add a diced tomato.
Then, add a can of drained fava beans and as the cook, smash them up a little.
Add cumin powder, salt, pepper and a tbsp of vinegar.

Thats it. You can even mix eggs into it. Its normally eaten with flat thin pita,bread.

I love me some Fuul!!! Beans: it's what's for breakfast! We used to eat it with hard boiled eggs or maybe some hard cheese, 7aish (more or less pita) and some fresh fruit when I lived in Alexandria. I can find the beans at our local Mediterranean market most of the time. I'm actually soaking a pot right now to cook for tomorrow!

I just did this yesterday, and it was really tasty! I have Kashi GOLEAN Crisp Cinnamon Crumble cereal - which is really yummy by itself - but I take 1/2 cup of that and 1/4 cup of All-Bran, crush up the All-Bran really good and mix them together. Add 1/2 cup of Bolthouse Farms Protein Plus Vanilla Bean, 1/4 cup skim milk, 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries and 2-3 sliced up strawberries. Kind of high in carbs, but also a good chunk of protein, and it's like a dessert to me! Lol! I get the Bolthouse protein shakes when they go on sale here, 2 of the big 32oz ones for 6$ is a great deal imo. But you could also just use vanilla protein powder and milk I suppose!

I also love smoked salmon on toasted rye bread with dill, especially with a little avocado added (poached eggs usually go with it though lol)
