High Protein Breakfast Ideas

So guys, I did it. I am back down to my pre-baby weight. As many of you know, I have 5 kids, the oldest being 11. I had twins 18 months ago. I don’t share this to brag, only to share how I accomplished my goal.  It really wasn’t hard, it took about six weeks of dedication. Maybe a little bit longer, but not much. I wanted to get it over with fast, so I was quite dedicated.

I joined Orange Theory in September 2018. By late February 2019, I hadn’t lost much weight. That didn’t concern me too much. I know muscle weighs more than fat and I saw incredible growth in my muscle tone. I was happy for those 6 months of getting my body fit and toned. I knew the next step meant a shift in my diet. When breast feeding the twins, I was eating an entire pack of OREOs every two to three days (I wasn’t sharing either.) I needed the calories, but the sugar and fat was definitely going somewhere. I was only 10 pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight and I decided to take the plunge and get rid of the remaining weight. Beach season was coming and I didn’t want what the last pregnancy left me.

I didn’t count my calories, but I ate less. Most important was my morning breakfast and my lunch. Then at dinner, I ate what my family ate but in moderation. For breakfast and lunch I ate high protein meals. Mostly shakes. If it wasn’t a shake, it was a protein bar. I didn’t snack in between (getting Invisilign during this time helped with that) and then I ate the same dinner my family had. If they had fajitas, I traded the tortilla for lettuce. If they ate pulled pork sandwiches, I tossed my pork over salad or only took half a bun.

By being strict on my diet, I was able to do this QUICKLY (that was important – because I know the duration sucks) and effectively.  I drank a lot of Bubly. It has no calories and no sweeteners but the fizz and taste help curb the cravings.

My favorite morning protein powder is BSN SYNTHA-6 Edge Protein Powder in Vanilla Milkshake. Vanilla seems to go with everything. Always add a very large handful of spinach in your smoothies. You can’t taste it and your body loves it. Another good blend is Chocolate Milkshake Protein Powder and add a small touch of peppermint extract – just like chocolate mint! Protein bars are by no means a five star dessert, but they fill you up. This Birthday Cake thinkThin bar was my favorite.

These High Protein Breakfast Ideas are here to give you a jump start to the day. Whether looking for more energy or wanting to drop a few pounds, these are some tasty (and hopefully easy) recipes for you to accomplish your goal. Enjoy!

I don’t have time to bake pancakes during the week day, bet you don’t either! Bake and freeze these 4-Ingredient Protein Pancakes. {Skinny Ms} Warm in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds!

Another smoothie, I always make in the morning is a Chocolate Mint Protein Shake {Nutritionist Reviews}. Amanda does a great job with this smoothie and fruit is good a good thing, but when I need to eliminate sugar or calories, I omit the banana. I also never have mint leaves on hand so I use Peppermint Extract. I do not use ice because it waters it down, just have cold milk (and by milk, I mean Almond Milk.)
