Grand total of 30+ protein (protein powder plus what ever toppings you chose).

#7 Over Night Oats

Over night oats are a great option because you make it the night before which makes getting up and going so much smoother in the morning. Furthermore, you can make mass amounts in small mason jars, or other jars with lids, and have your whole week planned out.

• 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
• Vanilla Greek yogurt. Choose an option high in protein
• Fresh fruit such as raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, kiwi, banana, etc.;

Combine all ingredients (for fruit toppings) into a food processor or blender. Let stand for 10 minutes. Press crust into a pie dish or roll into balls and form individual tarts by pressing thumb into the middle of each ball and slowly rotating until desired shape has formed. Line pie dish or pan with parchment paper (they will stick a little so you can use a coconut oil on the bottom to help) fill with Greek yogurt and top with fruit.

Breakfasts burritos are versatile with the types of protein and add-ins you wish to have. For a quick and no-brainer recipe, mix in 2-3 eggs, (scrambled) add in veggies (jalapeno, diced bell peppers, onions, tomato, cilantro…ect), next add in preferred meat (or go meatless) I like turkey bacon, and soy chorizo in my breakfasts burritos. Add the cooked egg scramble inside one large burrito-sized tortilla, wrap, and go. If you are taking to go, you may want to avoid toppings that have an excess of liquid, such as salsa and sour cream. If you are eating at home, garnish with Greek yogurt for added protein, more cilantro, and salsa. You will have 30-40 grams of protein!

#11 Chia Pudding

Chia pudding is SO delicious! The really great thing about chia pudding is that you can create batches of it so every breakfast is ready for the weel.

In the morning, add in honey or maple syrup, fresh fruit and nuts, if you’d like. 20-35 grams of protein!
