I am bored to death with my breakfasts and looking for new suggestions that are high protein, relatively low calorie, and fast.
Currently I either eat a hardboiled egg or two with fruit or a whole wheat English muffin with goat cheese and fruit. I went through a phase where I made mini frittatas and then reheated them, but I got annoyed with having to prep them every Sunday. Also did a smoked salmon phase but trying not to be too high sodium. I feel like I'm chasing a unicorn, but any suggestions? |
A Parfait, with yogurt, oats and fruit? Cereal with nuts and fruit and some kind of milk? Peanut butter on a waffle? Smoothie? Breakfast burrito? Avocado toast? Good luck. I often get bored with my options. |

scrambled eggs with:
salsa and cheddar spinach, mushrooms, and swiss spinach, marinara and mozzarella broccoli and cheddar I scramble mine in the microwave, which may diminish the quality somewhat, but it’s fast and convenient. By the time I’ve made my my additions to the eggs, I really don’t care that they were microwaved. As I’ve gotten older, I tend not to care so much about “breakfast” foods for breakfast. Have a sandwich, leftovers, etc. |

Whole wheat tortilla microwaved with shredded cheese and rolled up
Kashi high protein cereal with berries Greek yogurt with berries, with or without granola |
| I do plain whole milk yogurt, low sugar granola, chia seeds and (this time of year) frozen blueberries. Very filling. |

What do you consider high protein?
StayFitMom has some good breakfast options. I also like Lesssgitfit meal prep videos. She preps breakfast every Friday on her IG. Our breakfast rotation is: Breakfast burritos- eggs, sometimes sausage, cheese, potatoes, black beans, sometimes hash Eggs- poached, scrambled, over easy with hash or muffins Toast w/ butter and jelly plus jones chicken sausage - daves non white bread is 5g per slice plus chicken sausage 3links= 10g add 20-30g protein shake =35-45g Protein smoothies plus muffin- find a muffin recipe you like that has 5-10g per serving Protein pancakes- there are 100s of recipes out there. It isnt worth it to me personally. I would rather drink a protein shake with it. Greek yogurt plus granola and fruit Fairlife will increase protein content of any item made with milk. |
| Cottage cheese and fruit is my go to, or a handful of almonds and fruit. |

Breakfast sandwich - bagel or english muffin or toast with cheese, egg, meat (bacon, sausage, canadian bacon, turkey sausage, etc)
I have a sandwich maker which makes it super easy. amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-25477-Breakfast-Electric/dp/B00C95O3DY/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?gclid=Cj0KCQiA1NebBhDDARIsAANiDD1viY8a-1jP2rKGv982bd3P4x27m1sZAdH_PQwF-ht-WqWc8zeS-7EaAvzTEALw_wcB&hvadid=384376666010&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9008188&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=6672662584254440836&hvtargid=kwd-403664327886&hydadcr=4700_10064546&keywords=egg+mcmuffin+sandwich+maker&qid=1668715649&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1 |
