Indeed, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, despite the fact that many people tend to skip it. Studies have found that compared to a high-carbohydrate breakfast, eating a high-protein breakfast decreases hunger-inducing hormones throughout the day.
Do you always have the tendency to skip breakfast? Worry not- nutritionist and author Keri Glassman lists the following breakfasts that are sure to provide you with the best protein sources and keep you energized all day long. These breakfast suggestions were shared at Livestrong.com.
Cinnamon French Toast with Yogurt
French toast is a popular and delicious breakfast choice, and you can amp it up with cinnamon. The recipe for this meal contains 28 grams of protein, sure to keep you satisfied until your next meal. To prepare, simply soak a slice of bread (whole grain) in an egg then cook on a non-stick pan until both sides are light brown. Add a dash of cinnamon and enjoy with a cup of yogurt.
Cheesy Eggwich
Breakfast egg sandwiches are all over fast food chains. Although popular, they may not necessarily be healthy. This eggwich with cheese is a better choice, with 25 grams of protein. This recipe involves boiling an egg and toasting a whole-wheat English muffin. Add a layer of ½ cup low fat cottage cheese on the muffin and finish off with slices of boiled egg.
Mushroom and Tomato Omelet
According to Livestrong, an easy way to infuse vegetables into your meal while increasing protein is to make omelets. Although this recipe gives the spotlight to mushrooms and tomatoes, you can add other goodies like spinach, peppers, and onions, among others. To prepare this satisfying breakfast, combine one egg with four egg whites, beating gently. Cook the egg mixture in a non-stick pan (using a cooking spray instead of oil). As the egg slowly cooks, in the center of the omelet, add ½ cup sliced mushrooms, ½ chopped tomato, and ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese. Cook and fold the omelet. This recipe has great protein content: 36 grams.
