5 Easy-Peasy High Protein Breakfasts
Feb 21, 2025Many people find themselves stumped when it comes to low-carb breakfasts. Especially when they just start out.
I mean, without toast or cereal, what's left?
The truth is, the concept of "breakfast foods" is largely a marketing ploy.
You can eat whatever you want for breakfast!
Starting your day with a high protein meal is excellent for your metabolic health. It helps stabilise blood sugar levels, reduces cravings, and keeps you feeling fuller for longer.
High protein low-carb breakfasts don't have to be boring or limited to plain eggs (although eggs are fantastic!).
With a bit of creativity, your morning meal can be fun, easy, tasty, quick, and varied.
Here are five easy, high-protein breakfast ideas to get you started:
#1 Dr Lucy's Hemp Seed Breakfast Bowl
This easy and yummy nutrient-packed bowl is a great way to start your day. Hemp seeds are rich in protein and healthy fats, providing a satisfying and energising breakfast. The recipe combines hemp seeds with coconut, chia seeds, and your choice of berries for a delicious, texture-rich meal. Make it up the night before for super easy, super quick breakie.
#2 High Protein Chocolate Mousse
Who said you can't have dessert for breakfast? This indulgent-tasting mousse is actually a protein powerhouse. Made with all natural ingredients, it's a quick and easy option.
#3 Fast Mexican Mince
For those who prefer savoury breakfasts, this Mexican-inspired dish is perfect. It's loaded with protein and can be prepared in advance for busy mornings. Pair it with some avocado and/or greek yogurt and you've got a breakfast that'll easily fuel you until lunch.
#4 Simple Frittata
Frittatas are incredibly versatile and can be made with whatever vegetables you have on hand. This delicious pumpkin, spinach, and feta version is not only yummy but also packed with nutrients. Make it ahead and reheat portions throughout the week for a quick, protein-rich breakfast.
