Easy 20g Protein Breakfast Ideas!

Getting enough protein at breakfast sets you up for steady energy, better focus, and helps keep you fuller for longer. It also supports your muscles and metabolism, making it an important nutrient for both short-term energy and long-term health.

Aiming for around 20g of protein at breakfast is a great target, but many traditional breakfasts don’t quite get you there. Here are some easy swaps and ideas to help you hit that protein goal:

• 3 Egg Omelette + 1 slice Hi-Protein Bakers Delight bread = 23g protein

• Protein Smoothie- ½ serve of protein powder, 250ml milk, banana, tsp chia seeds = 27g protein

• 3 Weet-Bix + 250ml plant-based protein milk + 100g Greek yoghurt = 22g protein

• Porridge Protein Sachet + ½ cup milk + 10g whey protein crisps = 25g protein

• 170g yoghurt + 50g muesli + berries + 6 almonds = 26g protein

• 2 slices Burgen Soy & Linseed + 50g smoked salmon + 50g cottage cheese = 30g protein

Small swaps can make a big difference. It doesn’t take a full diet overhaul to boost protein intake. Switching your milk to protein milk, adding yoghurt to your cereal, or topping toast with cottage cheese or salmon are simple, practical changes that add up!
