8 Protein-Rich Breakfast Recipes That Don’t Call for Eggs
No eggs, no problem!
Simply Recipes / Sally Vargas
With the help of our contributors Micah Siva, RD and Sara Haas, RDN, LDN, I've pulled together 8 great protein-rich, eggless breakfasts to start your day, no matter the reason or the season. Each sits somewhere between 15 and 20 grams of protein per serving, just like a typical 2-egg breakfast.
You can always up the amount of protein by adding protein powder, nuts, or soy or cow's milk. Regardless, if you turn to one of these recipes in the morning, you'll be set for your day.
