Kiwi-Granola Breakfast Banana Split
We take a classic dessert and put a breakfast-friendly spin on it by swapping in yogurt for ice cream. The thicker consistency of the strained yogurt (e.g., Greek-style or skyr) helps it hold its shape and mimic scoops of ice cream. Plus, it has more protein for staying power than regular yogurt. Lots of seeds and nuts are a nice textural counterpoint to the soft banana.
There are so many options to break the fast, but these breakfast foods are some of the highest in protein: eggs, a nutrient-rich AM staple; Salmon and other seafood; yogurt and unsweetened dairy products; nuts and seeds folded into whole grains; and legumes, beans and chickpeas.
Here are a few examples of high-protein breakfasts that can help you lose weight: Scrambled eggs: with veggies, fried in coconut oil or olive oil.An omelette: with cottage cheese and spinach (my personal favorite).Stir-fried tofu: with kale and dairy-free cheese.
Greek yogurt or cottage cheese are high-protein options for breakfast that are not nuts, eggs, or meat. We adore the substantial amount of plant-based protein found in hemp seeds. Hemp seeds contain 3 tablespoons and 9 grammes of protein. Include them in your morning muesli or smoothie.
Eggs, yogurt and nuts or seeds are great sources of protein. Add vegetables. Greens may not be your go to breakfast option, but there are many ways to incorporate veggies into this meal. Try scrambled eggs with spinach and mushrooms or an omelet with bell peppers and onions.
"Eggs are rich in choline and vitamin D and are complete proteins," says Shapiro. 2 "One egg contains 7 grams of protein, so if you make an omelet with two eggs and lots of veggies, you'll have 14 grams of protein paired with fiber, vitamins, and minerals—a great way to start your day."

To lose weight, eat fewer calories than you burn throughout the day. The best things to eat for breakfast include oatmeal, eggs, lean bacon or turkey, whole-grain toast, peanut butter, smoothies, and yogurt with muesli.
How Many Eggs Can Elderly People (70+) Eat? For healthy people, the National Heart Foundation currently sets no limit as to how many eggs you can eat per day – as part of any healthy and balanced diet.
Two eggs provide 12 grams of protein while three tablespoons of hemp seeds provide 10 grams; together they easily provide one-third of your daily protein needs. Other healthy high-protein breakfast foods include: Low-fat Greek yogurt. Whole wheat bread with nut butter.
