Many experts do stress the need for more protein but forget to warn folks about eating too many carbs.\u00a0Research has shown that starting the day with high-quality protein sources can improve anxiety disorders, in addition to other benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most people consume enough protein at dinner, but need to increase their protein intake at breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some protein packed breakfast ideas:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n- Fast food<\/strong>: Protein Shakes and Smoothies are great for breakfast try some of these recipes:
- Reese's Protein Smoothie<\/a> by Dr. Axe<\/li>
- Very Berry Smoothie<\/li>
- Dr. Mercola demonstrates his own protein shake recipe on this YouTube Video<\/a> <\/li><\/ul><\/li>
- Boiled eggs with hot sauce (we love hot sauces from Acid League<\/em>) is a great on the go protein source.<\/li>
- Try scrambled eggs with different combinations of vegetables and cheese. For example, try my Ratatouille Omelet<\/a>. If you are trying to lose weight, skip the toast or other carby type breakfasts, because as we have learned fat+carbs=slow weight loss. (read more in the book Trim Healthy Mama<\/a>)<\/li>
- I love making protein pancakes using the Pristine Whey Protein Powder<\/a> from Trim Healthy Mamas. This is how I do it: Pristine Protein Pancakes<\/a>.<\/li>
- I found a great recipe for Greek Yogurt Protein Pancakes<\/a> as well, even my children loved this recipe.<\/li>
- Breakfast burritos are a great way to incorporate protein into your mornings. Try adding scrambled egg whites with beans and veggies to Paleo Wraps.\u00a0<\/a><\/li>
- If you need inspiration HERE<\/a> is a great recipe by Tana Amen, author of the The Omni Diet: The Revolutionary 70% PLANT + 30% PROTEIN Program to Lose Weight, Reverse Disease, Fight Inflammation, and Change Your Life Forever<\/a>

\u00a0(another book I absolutely love!)<\/li>- Try eggs ranchero<\/a> if you want to incorporate beans into your breakfast.<\/li>
- If you happen to have left over chicken in your fridge, make this Super Surprise Frittata <\/a><\/li>
- Love french toast?\u00a0Try making it Trim Healthy Mama style with this recipe just use a quality protein powder (see link in #4 above)<\/li>
- Low fat cottage cheese with a generous handful of berries makes a great breakfast and has a good amount of protein as well. If you like yours a little sweeter, try adding some stevia.<\/li>
- There\u2019s no reason why you couldn\u2019t have some tuna salad for breakfast either, try my recipe for upgraded tuna salad<\/a>!<\/li>
- Maybe for a special occasion you want to try steak for breakfast<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
If you have access to free range organic eggs and are adventurous, you could try a shake with raw eggs, however I would definitely NOT try this with store bought eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We like to eat breakfast for dinner sometimes, and why not? Dinner tends to be more well-balanced than breakfast or lunch, so take a cue from your dinner plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
