What are some easy high-protein breakfast ideas?

Starting your day with protein is a great way to stay energized. Here are a few simple, high-protein breakfast ideas that don't require complicated prep:

• Greek Yogurt Bowls: A staple for a reason. Plain, non-fat Greek yogurt is packed with protein. Top it with chia seeds, flax seeds, or a handful of almonds and some berries for extra fiber.
• Overnight Oats: Combine rolled oats with Greek yogurt, milk (or a plant-based alternative), and a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of nut butter. Let it sit in the fridge overnight. You can prep several jars at once for the week.
• Egg Muffins: Whisk a dozen eggs with spinach, diced bell peppers, and a sprinkle of feta or cheddar cheese. Pour the mixture into a muffin tin and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes. These store well in the fridge and are easy to grab on the go.
• Cottage Cheese Toast: Spread cottage cheese over a slice of whole-grain or sourdough toast. Top it with sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, or a sprinkle of "everything bagel" seasoning for a savory meal.
• Protein Smoothies: Blend a scoop of your preferred protein powder with a cup of spinach, a banana (or frozen berries), and your choice of milk. Adding a tablespoon of hemp seeds or peanut butter can give it an extra protein boost.
• Smoked Salmon on Rice Cakes: Spread a little cream cheese or avocado on a couple of rice cakes and top with smoked salmon. It’s light, quick, and very high in protein.
