Non egg + protein + veggie breakfast

[JanTheJam]

Any ideas?

I'm not veggie but can't stomach meat or eggs in the morning. I really want to eat some protein to help keep me full.

If I just eat cereal or toast I could eat my arm by 10.

thanks!

Baked beans on toast, pancakes with maple syrup, smoothies.

I often have avocado at breakfast.

I've been served scrambled smoked tofu on toast which was rather nice but I have never prepared it myself so don't know how complex it is to get right.

But when you say you "can't stomach" meat or eggs in the morning is it possible that anything high protein would be similar? Rather than trying to work against the food pattern your body is asking for you could adapt to it. Perhaps start the day with fruit but don't expect that to last you till 13:00 and plan a small high protein "brunch" sandwich at your desk at 10 followed by a second small refuel at 14:00 - eating smaller meals every 3-4 hours is better for you than larger ones spaced 6 or 7 hours apart - but it does take more time and organisational competence.

Or if you can't make that work - when you say "If I just eat cereal or toast" - well there's a huge range there. If you've been having cornflakes and toast made of pre-sliced white - those are high GI foods which your body turns into glucose almost instantly. Breakfast options with complex slow-energy-release carbs should keep you full for longer e.g. unprocessed oat-based things like muesli, porridge or granola, and toast made with proper bakery bread that isn't ultra-processed and full of additives.

Have a handful of almonds as a mid morning snack?

dairy foods are protein - so yoghurt with fruit, cheese on toast etc.

Full fat Greek yoghurt with fruit/granola

Peanut butter on a bagel

Baked beans on toast
Peanut butter on toast

Greek yogurt with berries and flaked almonds

Soy cheese? Or there's a new brand of protein-heavy dairy cheese I think.

Fish?

Arla Skyr - it has 16.5g of protein per pot and under 100 calories! Very low sugar too. Will help you feel full for longer. You can mix in fruit and nuts if you want.

Bircher muesli, veg chilli in a wrap with grated cheese, sourdough toast with avocado, cheese croissants

Feta or halloumi if you like them? A big grilled mushroom with halloumi and a bit of spinach and maybe tomato is a good hangover breakfast for this veggie and doesn't take me too long to do when I've rolled out of bed at slightly-too-late o'clock for uni. Occasionally breakfast biscuits but not convinced they're the healthy balanced breakfast the box claims.

Avocado on toast with a bit of feta is a favourite of mine and keeps me full. I often add a poached or scrambled egg but it sounds like you're not a fan.

Mushrooms on toast (fry with spring onions, herbs and add feta/goats cheese at the end) is another popular option in the purple household. Also beans on toast.

Forgot smoked salmon and cream cheese on toast/in a bagel.

I have a shake of; soy milk, hemp protein powder, tsp of almond butter, a banana, and berries of some sort or mango.

Have had this every day for years and years very filling, lots of protein, very quick to prepare and consume (always running late).

Cottage cheese on toast with sliced tomatoes is quite nice for breakfast.

Avocado on toast as a PP suggested (add cheese if you want more protein).

Chia pudding - chia seeds soaked overnight in milk (I use almond milk) with your choice of toppings/ingredients, such as fruit, nuts, peanut butter, etc.
