High protein breakfast suggestions?

[Blinkingblimey]

Dd 9 has an incredibly high metabolism and becomes utterly irrational when she starts to get hungry...obvs we try to avoid this happening anywhere but particularly at school. I’ve been giving her eggs for breakfast and if there is ever any leftover meat she’ll have that (happily eats cold stew at 7am🤢 - not envy!). She doesn’t like cheese, oats or sausages and I don’t want to give her bacon....does anyone have any other breakfast suggestions??!!....she’s bored of eggs🙄. Sorry, I know it’s an odd one😆

Avocado on toast

I make a dish with scrambled eggs and chorizo...
Fry some onion, peppers, cherry tomatoes and chorizo until cooked and then add eggs and scramble in amongst the veg and chorizo.

It's really filling and delicious...you can add or omit any of the veg...sometimes I use cigarettes and chillis if I have them.

Courgettes not cigarettes!

Just imagine!

Avocado slices
Ham
Poached chichken breast slices
Peanu butter (assuming no allergies)
Filled omelettes
Poached salmon or haddock
Kedgeree or similar
Lentil salad
Tuna pate on toast

Some full fat yoghurt - eg. Greek yoghurt topped with fruit/berries/nuts?

Baked beans on toast
Milkshake made with banana and peanut butter

If she can have nuts nut butter on toast is pretty filling.

Smoothie made with berry fruits liquidised with full fat cottage cheese and Greek yoghurt. (Not really cheesy, the cottage cheese adds lots of protein).

I’d go for a more European style breakfast, cheeses, meats, croissants etc.
Or what about a ham and cheese or tuna toastie?

Yes, baked beans would be good. Homemade ones would be even better as less sugary.

Oats are a good non-animal source of protein, and are good at filling up for longer. You could use whole milk for a creamy porridge. Add peanut or almond butter for extra protein.

Do you send her with a snack as well?

I cannot bear cooked porridge so make chocolate porridge: 40g oats, 20g milled chia seeds, 1 tsp Nesquik chocolate powder, 1 teaspoon cocoa powder, cold almond milk added to the texture I like (quite milky but my dc like it drier), mix and eat. It's yummy and very filling. DS sometimes mixes in a teaspoon of smooth peanut butter.

For my occasionally fussy eater I make banana chocolate ice cream: frozen chopped bananas, generous spoon of peanut butter, generous spoon of cocoa powder and milk, all whizzed together and served in a bowl with toasted flaked almonds on top.

My DD used to need refuelling often (when actively sporty - now teenager so no longer sporty ) and I would pack nut clusters - dark chocolate and peanut butter melted together and mixed with chopped nuts and seeds, dolloped onto lined baking sheets and set in the fridge. At primary school where no nuts are allowed I just used toasted seeds. Also toasted seeds with a bit of paprika or celery salt are a good snack.

Another school snack was macaroons but made with egg whites (from a bottle) and toasted (ground) sunflower seeds and ground rice instead of almonds, with either cocoa powder or vanilla favouring. They are quite sugary and you can cut back a bit on the sugar but they still need a fair whack to get their chewy texture.

When I do baked beans on toast I add a teaspoon of curry paste and halved cherry tomatoes (sometimes a tin of chickpeas) and serve it with naan bread and chopped coriander for variety. Might help to ring the changes some mornings.

Another one for baked beans on brown toast
When I had some sessions with s personal trainer I asked her what she ate for breakfast - Greek yog and topping of granola (more yog than granola)
Bircher muesli

But apart from that some kids just need to eat healthy snacks frequently?

Poached egg on black pudding

Kippers

This is my overnight oats - I use unflavoured protein so it has no taste. Keeps me full right up to lunchtime 

Mix the oats, milk and protein first then stir in the fruit, it's roughly half a banana and a small handful of berries. Leave overnight in the fridge.

Just adjust the quantities down for a 9yr old.

If she has a sweet tooth stir in a little honey.

Has she been checked for hyperthyroidism or Graves' disease? I was a really hangry teenager until I was diagnosed. I had to eat nonstop, even between classes, to feel normal. Thought it was down to heavy sports regime until a doctor worked it out..

Greek yoghurt / quark / skyr is very filling. You can add sweeteners and fruit.

🤣🤣cigarettes formerbabe 🤣. Thank you for all the suggestions - I only wish she’d eat bananas and any form of nut!! Essentially she’s not a fussy eater as she’ll eat absolutely any veg or meat...but likes things quite plain (she doesn’t even like chocolate which is plain weird - not sure how she’s mine😆). She takes cheese and biscuits to school for snack Blueuggs and luckily meals at her school are amazing so lunch gets her through to pick up time (I only wish I could eat there too!!). I looked at symptoms of hypothyroidism diamond but don’t think she shows any other signs. Hadn’t thought about fish but she loves both tuna & salmon - will make some pates and see if she’ll put them on toast. She’s agreed to an egg tomorrow as long as I also do mushrooms and tomatoes👍...kedgeree suggestion has also made me think jambalaya with chorizo may be an option too. Thanks all!!

I have beans on wholemeal toast with a poached egg after swimming, I think it comes to about 20gs of protein. You could replace the egg with cheese if she doesn't like eggs. Add a glass of milk for extra protein.

A fish finger sandwich is another high protein meal.
