5 high-protein breakfasts under 10 minutes

A protein-rich breakfast is the single easiest change that reduces cravings for the rest of the day. Here are five that take under ten minutes.

The five

1. Greek yoghurt bowl — full-fat yoghurt, walnuts, honey, cinnamon. ~25g protein.
2. Savoury eggs — two eggs, feta, spinach, tomato. ~20g protein.
3. Cottage cheese toast — sourdough, cottage cheese, olive oil, pepper. ~22g.
4. Overnight oats — oats, milk, chia, whey or yoghurt. Make it the night before.
5. Smoothie — milk or yoghurt, berries, banana, a scoop of protein. Drinkable on a busy morning.

Why it works

Protein is the most satiating macronutrient. Front-loading it blunts mid-morning hunger and makes balanced choices at lunch far easier.

Pick two, rotate them through the week, and you've removed one daily decision.
