High-protein Breakfast Ideas to Power your Morning

A high-protein breakfast is always a good way to start your day, especially after a workout. A balanced meal that is rich in protein (as well as carbs and fat) can help keep you energized all morning. That’s not all. Protein keeps carb cravings and sugar crashes at bay. It helps reduce hunger, but also wards off fat storage to help get you tone. And who doesn’t want that! 

It’s easy to find yourself in a protein-packed breakfast rut, though. For whatever reason, scrambled or hard-boiled eggs are the go-to high-protein breakfast for a lot of people. And while good old eggs are awesome, so is variety.

So, we did our own research and stumbled upon some great recipes from Fitbit Dietitian and Nutrition Designer, Tracy Morris that either uses eggs in a more creative way (in breakfast burritos or sandwiches , for instance) or forgo them altogether in favor of other protein source Overnight Oats or Protein Shakes.
