Here\u2019s some food for thought: A study in the British Journal of Nutrition<\/em><\/a> (and several confirming follow-ups) found that those who ate a protein-rich meal at breakfast reported to be satisfied longer than those who ate the same amount of protein at other meals. \u201cIt is super important to start your day with protein. People who eat breakfast packed with protein have fewer cravings throughout the day and feel fuller, longer,\u201d says Erica Giovinazzo<\/a>, Head Coach and Nutritionist at Brick CrossFit<\/a> in West Hollywood. \u201cEating something like cereal or toast without any protein usually leads to a crash by mid-morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Human translation: Skimp on the a.m. protein and you\u2019ll get hangry real <\/em>quick. \u201cBecause while a carb-laden breakfast might keep you full for an hour, a protein-rich breakfast might keep you full for three hours,\u201d Giovinazzo explains. \u201cProtein takes longer to digest than carbs, thus staving off hunger longer,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

Eggs aren\u2019t the only nutritionist-approved solution, though. Here, seven ways to pump up the protein at breakfast without cracking open a carton (or heating up the stovetop, too).<\/p>\n

1. Go Greek
\n<\/strong>Add 3\/4 cup of Greek yogurt to our homemade granola recipe<\/a>. While granola is good source of carbs and good fats, the Greek yogurt helps up you\u2019re a.m. protein intake by an additional 17 grams \u2014 which is the same amount you\u2019d get from eating three eggs. (Really!)<\/p>\n

2. Powder Up
\n<\/strong>Replace 1\/3 of your favorite pancake mix with protein powder to easily add at least 20 grams of protein to your morning flapjacks<\/a>. Clearly, we\u2019re partial to our own Fuel-6<\/a>, a completely plant-based protein powder that offers up 24 grams with just one packet.<\/p>\n

3. Top\u00a0With Seeds
\n<\/strong>Sprinkle some chia seeds on top of your overnight oats<\/a> when you take them out of the fridge in the morning. Not only does each ounce of chia seeds add about five grams of protein, but the delicious heart-healthy seeds add calcium, fiber and some texture, too.<\/p>\n

4. Swap Quinoa for Oatmeal
\n<\/strong>Makeover your morning breakfast bowls. While oatmeal has a decent six grams of protein per cup, quinoa<\/a> beats it two times over with 12 grams of protein per cup. Quinoa also has more than double the magnesium as oatmeal, a mineral that plays an integral role in keeping muscles relaxed. Not ready to go all in? Start with this \u201cquinoatmeal\u201d recipe<\/a> that goes halfsies on each.<\/p>\n

\"Avocado

5. Try Some (Turkey)\u00a0Bacon
\n<\/strong>Nuke three or four strips of lean turkey bacon next time you prepare avocado toast<\/a>. You could be introducing over 25 grams of protein to your morning with this simple, flavorful addition. But then again, what isn\u2019t <\/em>bad with avocado toast?<\/p>\n

6. Bean Bagged
\n<\/strong>Swap eggs for black beans next time you\u2019re craving a savory breakfast burrito<\/a>. Just add a half-cup of dry black beans (about one cup cooked) instead of the two or three eggs you\u2019d scramble up and you\u2019ll have a savory a.m. meal \u2014 no eggs included.<\/p>\n

7. Butter ‘Em Up
\n<\/strong>Add a dollop of almond butter to pretty much anything when you\u2019re in a rush. We love topping a sliced banana with some organic almond butter (or, better yet, homemade almond butter<\/a>). Two tablespoons has about seven grams of protein \u2014 not the worst when you\u2019re on the go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
