Not only do they keep you feeling full and energized, but they also help with muscle repair and keep your metabolism in check. In this post, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite protein-packed breakfast recipes that are both delicious and easy to make—perfect for busy mornings or lazy weekends. Let’s dive in!
Cottage Cheese Chocolate Smoothie
Don’t let the cottage cheese scare you- once you blend it up, it’s just like yogurt. This delicious smoothie has 20g of protein as written. I did find that I had to add a little water the next day to make it a little easier to drink, but overall it was really good!

Basic Quiche
This is my go-to recipe. It’s super simple and allows you to customize however you’d like! I like to add ham or sausage to mine, but it can easily be vegetarian with a few of your favorite veggies. This pie is roughly 18g of protein per serving depending on your add-ins.
