In order to get enough protein into our diet we have been adding extra protein sources to our eggs for a higher protein breakfast. Two large eggs contain 14g of protein but adding 80g of paneer cheese gives you another 14g of protein. This works for us for better glucose control, muscle growth and no sugar cravings or hunger.
Protein packed breakfast ideas are a very popular request. This is a great option that can be versatile in terms of flavours. For me, making ahead my breakfast is a must as I usually have breakfast at the studio after my first client of the day or after teaching a class. Hitting 40g protein with my breakfast alone sets me up for a day with energy, no cravings and properly fuelling for muscle building, hormone support and blood sugar balance.
In a bid to make sure we hit a decent amount of protein for breakfast we have been trialling ways to increase protein in our eggs. Two eggs is just 14g of protein, but adding 100g cottage cheese increases the protein to 25g. I have added a small amount of smoked salmon to increase the breakfast to 30g of protein. This is optional, but for my needs 30g of protein is optimal.
If you love a shot of coffee in the morning then you’ll love this smoothie. We use Exhale coffee, which is tested for high polyphenols and no mould. We use Nuzest protein powder, but use whatever your favourite is.
Protein packed breakfast ideas are our most common request as people often struggle. This is a perfect quick & easy option. For me, making ahead my breakfast is a must as I usually have breakfast at the studio after my first client of the day or after teaching a class. It has to be portable and high in protein. This is a delicious balanced winning combo. Change up the fruits with the seasons!
Omelettes or frittatas are your friends! They can be breakfast, brunch, lunch and can be eaten hot or cold! Eggs are a great natural, simple, complete and affordable source of protein teamed up with any seasonal vegetable you may have to hand. An omelette takes 5 minutes to make for a quick lunch at home. Made ahead, they are ideal cold in a wrap with extra salad leaves.
Good habits start with breakfast. Making ahead is one of the best advice we can give. Those overnight flaxseed and chia breakfast pots take 10 minutes to prepare the day before and keep in the fridge for 2-3 days. Ideal to make on a Sunday afternoon and that’s Monday and Tuesday’s breakfast sorted. They are balanced, high in protein to keep you full until lunchtime and just delicious.
