5. Strawberries and Cream Waffle Sandwiches
Protein: 10 grams
Cream cheese, roasted sunflower kernels, and whole-grain bread are the keys to this waffle sandwich’s big nutritional value. Try whipped ricotta cheese or plain Greek yogurt rather than cream cheese for even more protein. When strawberries aren’t in season, try this protein-rich vegetarian breakfast recipe with sliced bananas instead.
6. Peanut Butter and Fruit Quinoa
Protein: 10 grams
Here’s a breakfast hack: Trade oatmeal for quinoa, and you’ll score twice as much protein. Stir in a bit of peanut butter, jelly, and top with a spoonful of peanuts for a fast and filling vegetarian breakfast. For a make-and-take breakfast, build these parfaits in Mason jars and pack a spoon.
