4 SIMPLE, HIGH PROTEIN BREAKFAST IDEAS
One thing that I CONSTANTLY stress with my clients is CONSUMING ENOUGH PROTEIN, especially with their meals, but DEFINITELY as the first meal of the day when you're breaking your fast from overnight.
And while it's all too easy and delicious to grab a croissant with your daily coffee order, eating this on a regular basis is going to negatively impact your energy, weight, mood and focus.. just to name a few.
So, understanding the ease and convenience behind this choice, I wanted to share a few super quick, healthy AND tasty breakfast options that will soon replace your daily muffin.
Cereal, but make it healthy. There's a reason cereal has been a staple breakfast food for so long, but many cereals are full of sugar and void of protein. Look for a cereal that focuses on protein and fiber, like this favorite from @purely_elizabeth. Use your milk or milk-alternative of choice and feel good knowing that you're fueling yourself from the start of day.
Hard boiled eggs with avocado is a simple and satiating way to enjoy a complete protein and healthy fat, which will support sustained energy, satiety and weight management.
A yogurt parfait is another easy grab and go that's often available at your local coffee shop or convenience store. Unfortunately many premade ones are loaded with sugar and void of most nutrients, so save your money and make it at home! Dump your yogurt in a bowl (one with a lid if you're taking it with you) mix in berries or other fruit of choice, along with a low sugar, clean granola like @purely_elizabeth and you're good to go! I love making this in a glass pyrex bc you can see what you're eating but also have a lid to keep it covered when on the go.
Cottage cheese with fruit. This has become a go-to for me whether for breakfast, lunch or as a snack. 1 cup of cottage cheese provides 25g of protein! That coupled with fruit, which provides you with fiber, vitamins and minerals and is a clean carbohydrate, you have yourself some healthy fast food.
