Raspberry Yogurt Cereal Bowl

Eggs are a great source of protein, but there are many other ways to enjoy an easy-to-make high-protein breakfast. These breakfasts range from sweet smoothie bowls to savory loaded toasts, and with at least 15 grams of protein per serving, they can help you feel satisfied and energized to start your day off right. Recipes like our Spinach, Peanut Butter & Banana Smoothie and Avocado Toast with Burrata are healthy, tasty and take no more than 10 minutes to prepare.
