Protein-Packed Breakfasts
Becca says the goal is to aim for three things on your plate: protein, fat, and carbs. Having a balance of all three helps build lean muscle and jumpstart the rest of your day. For example:
A Healthy Carb
- Fruit
- Veggies
- Toast
A Healthy Fat
- Avocado
- Nut butter
A Healthy Protein
- Greek Yogurt
- Eggs
- Protein Powder
- Bacon
- Chicken Sausage
Try these ideas to pack in the protein!
Scrambled Eggs with Cottage Cheese
Sautéed peppers, add Scrambled eggs and cottage cheese for extra protein. Top with salsa, hot sauce or A1.
Greek Yogurt Parfait
Add fruit, cereal or granola, and a drizzle of nut butter.
Breakfast Sandwich
Cook your egg in a mini waffle maker, add bacon and avocado, and place on an English muffin.
Overnight Oats
Make the night before. Add 1 cup of milk and ½ cup of oats with some protein powder. Set in the fridge overnight and top with fruit and Reddi Whip. For hot oatmeal, warm in microwave before eating.
