Protein-Packed Breakfast Ideas (25g+ Each!)

One of the best ways to support your body, hormones, and fitness goals is by starting your day with a protein-rich breakfast. Not only does it keep you full for longer, but it also fuels muscle recovery and balances your energy throughout the day.

Here are three of my favorite high-protein breakfasts that are both satisfying and delicious. Each packs at least 25 grams of protein — so you’ll feel strong, nourished, and ready to take on your day.
