14 High-Protein Breakfasts [With No Eggs]

If you’re not a cold cereal every single morning kind of person, but you’ve also been in shock at the price of eggs (for a while now), then I get it.

Every time I look at the price of a pack of 12, I’m stunned. And it doesn’t start getting less jarring.

But thankfully you can still have your high-protein breakfasts without the eggs. I mean tell me that strawberry shortcake yogurt bowls and caramelized banana oatmeal don’t sound like solid protein options for the morning.

And whether you’re craving something meaty like chorizo or you’re wanting something more plant-based, these high-protein breakfasts are going to keep you filled all morning long.

1. Chorizo con Papas

Normally this high-protein breakfast is wrapped up in a soft tortilla with scrambled eggs, but it really isn’t necessary. Also, with how much flavor chorizo has,
you’re not going to be missing the eggs. And whether you’re eating it on the go as a part of a wrap, or in a bowl, it’s a great option if you love savory healthy breakfasts without eggs.

2. Majik Blue Chia Seed Pudding

I love protein-packed breakfasts like this. You can make it the night before, pull it out of the fridge in the morning, and it’s ready to go. Also, with blue spirulina powder (or blue matcha powder) you’re getting so much nutrition first thing in the day.
