A high-protein breakfast is always a good way to start your day. “Protein is a vital component to a healthy breakfast,” says SELF columnist Jessica Jones, M.S., R.D., certified diabetes educator and cofounder of Food Heaven. A balanced meal that is rich in protein (as well as carbs and fat) can help keep you energized all morning, Jones says.
It’s easy to find yourself in a protein-packed breakfast rut, though. For whatever reason, scrambled or hard boiled eggs are the go-to high-protein breakfast for a lot of people. And while good old eggs are awesome, so is variety.
