If your typical breakfast consists of a cup of rushed coffee and a banana, then there’s a good chance you’ll feel your stomach growling throughout the day – at least until lunchtime.

Making a healthy (and filling) breakfast doesn’t mean waking up at 5 a.m. If you plan it right, you can have a hearty breakfast every morning, without setting an earlier alarm. Here are a few ideas to get you started. 

Homemade Granola Parfait, 30g Protein

Greek yogurt (or, if you’re like me and hate the sour taste of Greek yogurt, normal non-fat yogurt will do), raspberries, strawberries, dark chocolate, homemade granola, and coconut oil make for a healthy, filling, and Instagram-worthy breakfast.

Ambitious Kitchen’s Oatmeal Cottage Cheese Banana Pancakes are not only high in protein, but they’re also gluten-free. Bonus: all of the ingredients can be tossed in a blender. All you need is a little bit of baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, cottage cheese, egg whites, and almond milk.

Twice-Baked Breakfast Sweet Potatoes, 36g Protein 

There are no rules when it comes to breakfast – you can have a sweet or a savory meal and no one is going to tell you that you're wrong, which is why this recipe by plaid & paleo is perfect for those who want a little bit of both. You’ll just need two medium sweet potatoes, four slices of bacon, one medium sweet onion, four garlic cloves (minced), sea salt, black pepper, and four small eggs.
