5 High-Protein Prep-Ahead Breakfasts

It’s time to prioritize a high-protein breakfast, even if you have to take it on-the-go!

I think we’re all in the business of saving time these days, especially in the morning! Whether you’re working off of your baby’s schedule (I’m with you!), or you’re battling morning meetings or a long commute, we shouldn’t let life get in the way of making sure we’re fed and fueled in the morning.

My goal at every meal is to eat at least 30 grams of protein per meal, and all of these recipes will do the trick to get you there. If you’re interested in reading more about why eating a high-protein diet is important, check out these blogs:
