39 Super Easy Vegan Breakfast and Snack Recipes You Need In Your Life

For anyone who's just sick of eggs, this round-up of 39 high-protein breakfast recipes will be helpful. (Even if you love the eggy stuff, have a look, too — there are some terrific recipes in here.) While I definitely recommend starting your day off with a protein-rich meal, it doesn't need to be a protein-only affair. Think Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and tofu. Go old fashioned with an omelet or fancy yourself up with French toast. And don't forget yogurt sauces, nut butters, and even one sweet-tooth pleasing recipe that uses vegan protein powder.

Here are some suggestions for protein-packed, healthy breakfasts that will keep you full until lunchtime. 

 1. Oatmeal with Berries and Greek Yogurt A Greek yogurt topping makes this oatmeal even creamier and more filling than regular oats. 

 2. Nutella Banana Frozen Greek Yogurt Bites These mini frozen treats are made with just three ingredients: bananas, vanilla greek yogurt, and Nutella.

 3. Vegetable Omelet with Cottage Cheese This veggie-packed omelet is stuffed with spinach, red bell pepper, and Swiss cheese. 

 4. Tofu Scramble with Spinach and Salsa Verde A tofu scramble is easy to make at home and is a great way to get your daily dose of protein (at only around 100 calories per serving). 

 5. Breakfast Egg Muffins with Spinach and Feta These portable egg muffins are the perfect grab-and-go breakfast or snack to keep you satisfied until lunchtime. 

 6. Chia Seed Pudding This pudding is rich in healthy fats and fiber that'll help keep you full throughout the morning as well as provide sustained energy all day long.

Here's the thing about a balanced breakfast: You need protein, carbs, and fat to get you through the morning. So how do you make sure your breakfast is well-rounded? Start your morning with one of these high-protein breakfast recipes that take a unique spin on old favorites or ditch the eggs altogether. These are all delicious and healthy enough to fuel your day. Protein Powder Pancakes Servings: 1 Ingredient: 1 whole egg + 1 egg white (or two egg whites) 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional) 2/3 cup whole-wheat or all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional) 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional) 3 tablespoons flavored protein powder, any kind**

A great place to begin your search for healthy breakfast options is by making a list of your favorite protein sources. "A lot of people will eat things like bacon or sausage and consider that a protein source," says Jones. Instead, focus on lean meats and fish, eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and soy-based foods such as tofu. If you like peanut butter and nuts, those fit into this category too! Once you've made a list, get ready to start experimenting: stir in cottage cheese to your favorite muffin recipe, blend peanut butter into your morning smoothie bowl, top eggs with a dollop of Greek yogurt for delicious huevos rancheros. The possibilities are endless (and delicious!).
