11 Quick High Protein Breakfast Ideas

Although a bit of cliche, we wholeheartedly agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Getting plenty of protein into your morning meal provides you with a healthy boost of nutrients to keep you energised and satisfied until lunch. Packing in the protein helps to reduce appetite and stave of hunger, partly because protein reduces the levels of your hunger hormone ghrelin. As a result, high protein meals can also help to reduce your desires and cravings for snacks. It’s a win win. Below you can find our best high protein breakfast recipes to keep your belly happy until lunchtime.
