Hate eggs? Then You'll Love These High Protein Breakfast Recipes

Hey 👋

We all know eggs are one of the easiest high-protein breakfast options… but let’s be honest—sometimes you’re over eggs, don’t love them, or just want more variety.

The good news? You can absolutely build a high-protein breakfast without eggs - and without extra cooking or complicated recipes.

Here are some of my favorite egg-free, high-protein breakfast ideas that are perfect for busy mornings and meal prep.

You can see all of my recipes ideas, tips and more in this post I put together. Read it here.

These are staples I rotate through when I want something filling, simple, and not another egg scramble.

Chocolate Overnight Oats with Yogurt

By using plain Greek yogurt, overnight oats become a solid high-protein breakfast without relying on eggs. Prep a few jars at once and breakfast is ready all week—no stove required.

High-Protein Yogurt Bowls

Yogurt bowls are one of the easiest egg-free breakfasts you can throw together. Start with a high-protein yogurt, then add fruit, seeds, and crunch for a balanced, satisfying meal.

Blueberry & Kale Smoothie

Smoothies are perfect if eggs just aren’t your thing in the morning. This one delivers protein, fiber, and nutrients in one quick blend—and it’s easy to customize.

Easy Ways to Add Protein (Without Eggs)

If you want to boost protein without changing what you eat, these ingredients make it simple:

✔ Cottage Cheese. Blend it into smoothies, stir into oatmeal, or pair with fruit. Mild, filling, and surprisingly versatile.

✔ Plain Greek Yogurt. A great base for bowls, overnight oats, or even mixed into smoothies for extra creaminess and protein.

✔ Protein Powder. An easy add-in for smoothies or oatmeal—perfect when mornings are rushed.

✔ Collagen Powder. Adds protein without changing texture or flavor. Great in coffee, smoothies, or oatmeal.

✔ Chia Seeds. Not a major protein source on their own, but they help with fullness and pair well with yogurt and oats. Plus they add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.

Eggs are great - but they’re not the only way to hit your protein goals. Having egg-free options makes breakfast easier, more enjoyable, and way more sustainable.

If you’ve been stuck in an egg rut (or just don’t like them), I hope this gives you some fresh ideas 💛

Part cake, part cobbler, a buckle is one of the easiest, most delicious summer desserts you can make. This one is bursting with juicy peaches and blackberries and is even better served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

[Day 1: Sourdough Starter Challenge] Mix Your Starter

Hello,

Welcome to Day 1 of the Sourdough Starter from Scratch Challenge!

Today your job is simple: stir together 192 grams each of flour and water. That's it!

Here's your daily video guidance:

Remember to record your work! I promise you will forget what day you started and what day you did what if you don't... this is a very repetitive process, and the days begin to blur.

Biggest Tip For Success: Keep Your Starter Cozy

If your kitchen is on the cool side, you can create a warm environment for storing your starter by preheating your oven for 1 minute, then turning it off.

Ideally, the cozy place you create will be between 70ºF (21ºC) and 80ºF (26ºC).

Another idea: Turn the oven light on for 10 to 15 minutes, then shut it off. I caution against keeping the oven light on the entire time because it potentially will create a too-warm space (especially in a newer oven) that might kill your starter.

As noted yesterday, a great tool to invest in is an ambient temperature thermometer, as it will help you accurately gauge the temperature of the cozy spaces you create to help your starter thrive.

As always, if you have any questions, please ask them here.

Happy Cooking,

Alexandra Stafford
