High Protein Breakfast Recipes (+20g protein)


I’ve been working really hard to make sure I get protein in every meal and it all starts with breakfast! While I love adding protein powder to my recipes, a lot of time you don’t even need it to get a decent amount of protein from other sources.

Here are 20 of our most popular high-protein breakfast recipes from eggs to pancakes to smoothies with at least 20g of protein per serving! LFG.

A collage of high-protein breakfast recipes, featuring protein-packed oatmeal, pancakes, bagels, sandwiches, smoothies, and wraps.

I’ve always had a thing for breakfast. From the time I was very young, I was always the first one up in the household, cooking breakfast for the family. I remember I was always so excited when it was my sister’s birthday so that I could serve her breakfast in bed (re: banana oatmeal pancakes!).

Today we are chatting all things high protein breakfast foods. While I love me a thick stack of carb-filled pancakes, sometimes I want to get more protein in before I leave for the day so that I stay fuller longer and feel good about my morning eats.

There are so many great high protein breakfast foods out there and sometimes it can be overwhelming. Here are 5 tips to help make it easier to pack in the protein:

  1. When in doubt, make a protein shake. We have a super helpful guide to protein shakes on Fit Foodie Finds with 30+ flavor ideas!
  2. Eggs are your friend! Whether you prefer hard-boiled eggs, baked eggs, scrambled eggs, or frittatas, 1 large egg has 6g protein.
  3. Always have protein powder on hand. You can add protein powder to smoothies, oatmeal, pancakes, etc. and it’s such a great way to get added protein. Check out our guide to protein powder for some recommendations.
  4. Meal prep at the beginning of the week. This will save you time and make breakfast a breeze! Here’s our favorite meal-prep breakfast recipes.
  5. Don’t be so hard on yourself! Remember, eating healthy should be about balance.
