Can anyone please provide suggestion for those breakfast items high in protein. I am tired of eating egg whites with veggies every morning and turkey bacon. The bacon I don't mind so much. I need other alternatives instead of the eggs with veggies. Something that can be nutritious, yet delicious and keep me full until my first snack of the morning.

Yes does someone have an answer that is a great question.1

Sausage, turkey sausage, Canadian bacon, Greek yogurt, chicken breast, sirloin steak, fish . . .7

Smoked salmon, black beans, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese4

I really like 1/2 cup 4% milkfat cottage cheese mixed in with 1/2 cup black beans, and a few cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with a bit of dill or fresh chopped basil. Add a slice of toasted Martins Whole Wheat Potato bread. Good protein, low sugar, and the fat keeps me from noticing food until lunch.7

I feel like getting creative. Silk flavoured dessert tofu. What shall we pair it with? How about a teaspoon of maple syrup and something crunchy. Maybe a quarter cup granola. Or if you must stick to protein, a tablespoon of hemp hearts.3

Otmeal, protein/meal replacement & smoothies!!! Fav smoothie is a Green smoothie! Keeps you full and makes your skin wonderful and noticed the most fat I shed in me belly was when I did 30 days of the green juice every morning with something light as a pair! Such as fruit & yogurt!
Green Smoothie
1 bottle water preferably cold
1 banana
1-2 cups of spinach (your liking)
1/2 cup of frozen diced mangoes
1/2 cup of frozen pineapple chunks
1/2 cup of frozen peaches
Blend it in a bullet or blender on high power!!
ENJOY & GOOD LUCK!!!18 -
Thank you so much they all sound like good ideas I will try!0

I have tried a whey isolate protein shake blended with banana and almond milk, salmon, and chicken breast on flatbread as alternatives lately. Good luck and you got this!2

avocado - either on toast, by itself, of baked with an egg in the hole left by the pit.

I do a Greek yogurt "parfait." Greek yogurt, berries, Kashi Go Lean cereal & a sprinkle chopped nuts. Keeps me full all morning.6

Pure Protein or Think Thin bars. I also put a scoop of whey protein in my coffee or make a smoothie with banana and milk. You can also roll up a piece of deli ham or turkey and a slice of cheese around a slice of avocado.2

I like whole fat cottage cheese on a whole wheat english muffin. It keeps me totally satisfied.3
-
I have fat free Greek yoghurt with granola or protein enriched cereal with milk, both give me around 18g protein for 250-330 cals2

And sometimes if I'm eating a bit later--like at 10 am I'll have a chicken breast with blue cheese and hot wing sauce,2

Everyone thank you for your replies. I am going to incorporate them starting next week. I went and bought a few avocados today and the Kashi cereal as a alternative for breakfast. I have also order a few different types of whey protein powder to make smoothies. I am down 5.5 pounds and its only been 3 weeks. So excited.12

Yes - I was just about to suggest protein powder - one scoop is usually around 25 g of protein.
Also, Dry Curd Cottage Cheese has a lot more protein than regular cottage cheese and way less
sodium too - You could mix some of that into your smoothies...along with greek yogurt2 -
I found a recipe for a "sweet omelette" which is eggs (or whites), cream cheese or cottage cheese, a little sweetener, and fruit.
I make mine with 4 egg whites, 1/4 c cottage cheese, 2 splenda pkts, and a handful of frozen blueberries. I also like a cup of cottage cheese with a little low sugar jam or unsweetened applesauce.4 -
Protein Oatmeal I used quick oats from kroger and when they are almost done I add a scoop of protien powder in. Quest salted caramel is so good with a tablespoon of mini chocolate chips. Made with 1/2 cup of fat free skim milk it has 33 grams of protein.2

Anything you eat for breakfast is breakfast food. No reason you have to stick to foods you normally associate with breakfast. Just eat a normal high protein meal if you feel like it6
