I realize that my protein consumption is not that high. I prefer sweets. I eat some cranberry trail mix and turkey but I cannot digest bacon and eggs in the morning. Is there another healthy source of protein that I could have in the morning for breakfast? Suggestions?

Greek Yogurt. You can get that in individual serving size containers or in large quart size like I do and then just measure out a cup. I add fresh berries and walnuts. Or if I’m in a rush, to be avoided, I grab a protein bar

There are numerous options for protein, especially if you do not have any metabolic issues. Quinoa provides complete protein. There are numerous types of cheese. Eggs can be prepared in a number of ways. It doesn’t have to be a heavy, fat-loaded breakfast!

Any type of cheese can be used as your protein. I know my mom usually will cottage cheese and cut up some fruits to eat with it. There are also the individually packaged mozzarella cheese sticks you can eat for your protein. Also any kind of beans can serve as your protein (pinto beans or Lima beans for example).

I also have trouble getting in more protein and I prefer sweets like you. A great breakfast in oatmeal with fruits and other healthy toppings. To increase the protein you can add seeds like chia, hemp, or flax, and nuts such as almonds, peanuts, and nut butters. You can also cook the oats in a high protein milk like soy milk or add protein powder. The best part is that the possibilities are endless with oatmeal and you’ll never get sick of it :)

Try oatmeal with milk or almond milk/soy milk with a handful of almonds or walnuts and brown sugar and craisins or raisins for a long slow burn breakfast that is high in protein but still satisfies that sweet tooth of yours.

Add almonds to your trail mix. Trade out those bacon and eggs for avocado toast. There are plenty of protein sources out there.

THink of plant based protein. So beans, broccoli, chickpeas and such. All of the above make wonderful o paste? purée and even flour (chickpeas)

Check your local store for Kodiak Protein Pancake Mix. One recipe will get your protein consumption started right away. Or you can have 1 bottle of Premier Protein. Each bottle contains 30g of Protein! Hope this helps.

Do not be too concern. There is a limit of protein we process every day, and depending on your lifestyle (eg bodybuilder) , you are probably having enough. However, if you want to have more, you can find protein even in vegetarian dishes (usually sweet) try porridge, peanut butter, or pancakes made out of protein powder?

I completely understand! Some animal derived proteins can be harder in the system, especially in the morning when it’s just getting started with the day. Have you considered plant based proteins, like chickpeas or black beans? A black bean spinach omelette can give you the protein source you are after, without being too hard on your digestive system!
