High-Protein Vegetarian Breakfasts (That Aren’t Eggs)

By

Hi, friends!

With the new year officially here, I wanted to share some of the macro-friendly vegetarian recipes that I plan to add back into my weekly rotation. After FULLY enjoying the holiday season, my body is craving much more nutritious meals. Anyone else? Of course, the fun part about taking a break from macro-counting and meal prep is that I always feel excited to jump back into a routine with more intentional eating habits (aka fewer cookies and more veggies)! 🙂

Now that we’re back to our usual morning routine, planning ahead is a must for me. On the top of my list is starting my day with a breakfast that keeps me satisfied all morning long. I find that if I focus on including protein, it prevents me from digging through the kitchen cabinets at 10:00 AM.

This recipe round-up includes some of my favorite high-protein, vegetarian, and egg-free breakfasts that I rely on again and again. If you’re vegetarian (or vegan), it’s not always easy to find a high-protein, egg-free breakfasts, so I hope these recipes give you some ideas and a little inspiration to get back on track in 2019!

Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats

This recipe for Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats is like having (cheese) CAKE for breakfast! You’ll love the texture of oats combined with fresh strawberries and crushed graham crackers. Simply prep a batch of these at night and you’ll have breakfast for a few days all ready to go. Just grab a spoon and dive in! This recipe also works well with plain or strawberry-flavored Greek yogurt!

2-Minute Breakfast Tortilla 

Breakfast doesn’t get easier than this, which means this is one of my go-to meals when I’m running out the door, especially before a workout, because I can throw it together in just a couple of minutes, and I know it will keep me satisfied.

I recently partnered with Maria and Ricardo’s, who makes authentic, wholesome, and seriously delicious (non-GMO) tortillas. I’ve used their tortillas for many years now, and I love how easy they make breakfast come together.

For this quickie breakfast (or snack), I first mix a couple of tablespoons of nut butter with a little protein powder (or collagen) and cinnamon. Then, I’ll grab an Original White Flour Tortilla and spread the nut butter on half. I’ll top it with banana slices, a bit more cinnamon, fold the tortilla in half, and then cut it into pieces. Easy as that!

The Best Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie

Just about everyone has a favorite peanut butter and banana smoothie, but this one is truly the best. It’s loaded with two heaping tablespoons of peanut butter and a scoop of protein powder to keep you satisfied all morning long!

Banana Flax Protein Breakfast Cookie

This make-ahead breakfast is basically protein oatmeal (with ground flax and chia seeds) in cookie form. If you thought oatmeal for breakfast couldn’t get easier, it just did! And there’s 12 grams of protein in each cookie! Grab and go, baby!

Overnight Carrot Cake Protein Oatmeal

This recipe for a recipe for Overnight Carrot Cake Protein Oatmeal is quite delicious and super satisfying with a healthy (and balanced) dose of protein, carbs, and fat. You can also make this recipe dairy-free by using your favorite (non-dairy) protein powder or collagen. I also love this recipe for Overnight Peanut Butter Protein Oats.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems.
