Protein breakfast ideas: our best recipes

Protein pancakes are the ultimate breakfast hero: combining the comforting fluffiness of a beloved classic with the power and versatility of adding protein-packed ingredients and toppings.  

Think creamy skyr, quark or cottage cheese blended right into the batter, paired with crunchy nuts, seeds, vibrant berries or even a sprinkle of chocolate chips for a touch of indulgence.  

Whether you’re keeping it simple or getting creative, protein pancakes are endlessly customisable, making them a breakfast that’s anything but boring. Plus, they’re just as good for a post-workout snack or a weekend brunch centrepiece.

Pro tip: make a big batch and freeze individual portions – just pop them in the toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast on even the busiest of mornings! 

High-protein breakfast meals are the perfect way to start a busy day with purpose and satisfaction. But what exactly qualifies as a high-protein breakfast? For a dish to earn this title, at least 20% of its energy content must come from protein.  

It can be tricky to create meals that consistently hit this mark while remaining flavourful and easy to prepare. That’s why we’ve crafted a collection of recipes to take the guesswork out of your mornings. From savoury classics to innovative combinations, these meals deliver the boost you need with the taste you’ll love. 

Pro tip: familiarise yourself with protein-rich ingredients like skyr, cottage cheese, quark, eggs, lean meats, nuts, seeds, and legumes – the perfect building blocks for high-protein breakfast meals. 

Mornings can be busy, but that doesn’t mean you have to skip a protein-packed start to your day. The best on-the-go breakfasts are portable, easy to prepare in advance, and loaded with protein to make the most of every day. Think grab-and-go options like muffins, crunchy breakfast bars and refreshing smoothies. 

Having a collection of go-to recipes can be a lifesaver, and ours balances convenience with flavour, offering a mix of sweet and savoury choices to suit every craving.

Pro tip: keep single servings of protein-rich skyr, Greek yoghurt or nut-based spreads handy for an easy pairing with your on-the-go meals.
