5 Easy-Peasy High Protein Breakfasts

Many 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.

#5 High Protein Cottage Cheese Wrap

This simple cottage cheese wrap is delicious and an excellent source of protein. Add some sliced chicken/turkey or ham, and top with salad/vegetables for a fabulous breakfast. It's quick to assemble and can even be taken on-the-go.

Remember, breakfast is what you make it.

Don't limit yourself to traditional "breakfast foods." With these options, you can start your day with a protein-rich meal that'll fuel your body and mind, setting you up for success.
