Getting enough protein in day-to-day can sometimes be tricky, but it’s essential to maintaining and building muscle. An easy way to avoid having to frantically chug a couple of protein shakes before bed when you realize you’re 40g under your protein target, is to get a big dose of protein first thing in the morning. Although, sometimes it’s hard to get creative with breakfast, and plain old protein porridge can get a bit boring.
If you’re looking for some tasty, high-protein breakfasts to help you reach your muscle building goals, these are the recipes for you. Sweet, savoury, and always delicious, there’s something on this list for everyone.
1. Breakfast Bagels
Bagels have been taken to new heights with this recipe. Egg, cheese, bacon. What more do we need to say? And you can switch out the bacon for veggies if you’re not a meat-eater. These also serve up 20g of protein and over 40g of carbs, making these a great pre-workout breakfast.
2. Breakfast Omelet
Who doesn’t love an omelet? They’ve got to be one of the most classic “fitness foods” too, as they’re packed with protein. Mike Thurston showed us his go-to breakfast omelet, and it’s pretty epic. Bacon, spinach, tomatoes and BBQ sauce. Delicious. And a whopping 37g of protein, what’re you waiting for? It’s time to break a few eggs.
