Hi everyone!
I'm finding it pretty hard to hit my protein and fat goals. One of the reasons for that is probably that I'm really not a lover of the savory breakfasts... So no eggs and avocado's for me. I really enjoy my oatmeal with fruit, but as you know, that's carbs all the way.
I was wondering if anyone can give me some inspiration on sweet breakfasts that contain a decent amount of protein and/or fat? Doesn't have to be low-carb, necessarily It would really help me to imrove my macro's!
Merci beaucoup!

What about Greek yogurt? You can still have your oatmeal (some people add a protein powder to it), follow by a cup of plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese with fruit.0

You can add chia seeds to your oatmeal and or a nut butter and enjoy!!! Walnuts are great in oatmeal!

Try some chia seed breakfasts. Chia is high in protein and if you make it the night before ends up almost a pudding consistency.
Before bed make this:
(1 serving)
2 Tbsp chia seeds
2 Tbsp whole oats
1/2 cup to 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
stir very very well. Let it sit while...
warm 1 cup frozen blueberries in microwave for 2 mins (if you warm it you get more juices)
Stir really well into chia mixture
It will turn purple. Put a lid on, toss it in the fridge.
Next morning I add 1/2 sliced banana and a bit of warm almond milk or any other combination of stuff you want. Peanut butter and banana are good.
For a chocolate chia pudding add cocoa and sweetener.
Chia is highly highly absorbent. So the more liquid you use the more 'pudding' like it is. They literally soften and fill up with the liquid you mix it with so it creates a gel like substance.0 -
You can add vanilla protein powder to your oatmeal, or do a side of maple breakfast sausage. If you like pancakes, you can try Kodiak protein cakes. I like to do those with some added vanilla protein powder, made using eggs, and I add some cinnamon and blueberries as well.0

Proats. Oatmeal mixed with protein powder and peanut butter and then throw some things like nuts or coconut flakes on top. You can stir in same maple syrup or honey.0

i've heard of oatmeal with egg whites or oatmeal with protein powder.
you can also add in plant-based milk, seeds, and nut butter or pb2.0 -
3 ingredient banana pancakes (eggs, banana, baking powder, or look up recipes) with peanut butter. You can also add some maple syrup or honey to sweeten. My kids love these with crunchy peanut butter or nutella.0

Protein waffle with butter!! And some walnuts- I made it this morning and so good :-)0

I second the peanut butter recommendation. Mixing in 1-2 tbs will jack up both your fat and protein.0

Protein pancakes - I use egg whites, protein powder, zucchini, oats..
Spread butter or Pb on for fats, or use whole eggs.0 -

Overnight oats give me the "dessert for breakfast" feeling with a reasonable amount of protein, fat, and fiber. Adding cocoa and peanut butter makes it extra good for you.0 -
I add a half scoop of chocolate protein powder and some PB to oatmeal! Ups your fats and protein right off the bat. Besides that, some vanilla protein powder in oatmeal + fruit would also be good!0

Coffee with coconut oil powder + quest protein shake made w/splash of unsweetened coconut milk + flat-out flax fold-its with almond butter. 300 cals and it's a perfect fit to my macros 40/30/30.0

Protein shake! Or chia seed pudding. Its sweet and has decent protein.0
-
Add protein powder to something.0

I add vanilla protein powder into my oatmeal to give it a huge protein boost! Sometimes add powdered peanut butter too0
