3. Add a Cup or Glass of Protein Coffee on the Side
Grab a serving of Polar Joe Classic Protein Coffee. Shake it for 30 seconds with cold water OR make it hot by adding it to your drip coffee or popping it in the microwave. Or, try an alternate protein coffee blend like Ascent Iced Coffee or Javy Instant Protein Coffee.

4. Use High-Protein Grains
Prepare oatmeal with milk instead of water, and top with nuts or seeds. Cooked quinoa can also be a high-protein base for a breakfast bowl.

5. Choose High-Protein Dairy Alternatives
Use Greek yogurt as a base for parfaits or mix it with fruit. Pair cottage cheese with fruit or use as a toast topping.

6. Include Protein-Packed Sides
Almonds, chia seeds, or hemp seeds are easy to add to cereal or yogurt. Turkey or chicken sausage is a leaner alternative to traditional breakfast meats.

Spread almond butter, peanut butter, or hummus on toast.

8. Try Alternative Breakfast Options
Chia pudding is made with chia seeds and milk, it’s a protein-rich and nutrient-packed option. Hugely popular, Overnight Oats with added protein powder also makes a delicious, pre-prepared way to start your day. Or, swap out scrambled eggs for a Tofu Scramble,  plant-based, high-protein alternative.
