If you're looking for a breakfast that does serious nutritional work without feeling heavy, this silken tofu berry bowl deserves a spot in your rotation. Blended smooth and left to set in the fridge, it has a thick, creamy texture somewhere between a mousse and a pudding – and at 27g of protein and nearly 17g of fibre per serving, it punches well above its weight.
If you are looking for a high protein, high fibre breakfast that actually feels like a treat, this berry cheesecake chia pot is it. Inspired by all the flavours of a classic cheesecake but packed with nutrients to support your midlife health, it delivers around 40g of protein and 12g of fibre in a single pot — with no added sugar. The creamy layers of Greek yoghurt and cottage cheese give you a brilliant protein hit first thing in the morning, while the chia seeds and raspberries take care of your fibre. Best of all, you make it the night before, so breakfast is ready and waiting. This is exactly the kind of easy, nutritious breakfast we love – simple ingredients, big benefits.
This spicy tomato turkey mince, lentil and beans soup is a nourishing, high-protein and high fibre meal that’s perfect for batch cooking and busy weeks. Made with lean turkey mince, red lentils, beans and plenty of veggies it’s hearty filling and packed with nutrients. Suitable either for a lunch on the go in a flask or an evening meal that the whole family will enjoy.
This is the kind of high protein breakfast bowl you can have 2 or 3 times a week with minimun prep time. Make the greek yoghurt and chia seed base so there is enough for 3 days. Each morning, serve in a bowl or container to go and add a variety of fruits, nuts and seeds. You should be able to hit 30g protein and about 10g fibre.
