Protein-Packed Vegetarian Breakfast

May 19, 2015 By Heather Blackmon

.

When I start my day with a protein-packed meal, I feel better! My head is clear and I have the energy I need to conquer the day. While many people think of meat products as their main protein source, there are also many (yummy) vegetarian options that you can choose!

I’m lactose-intolerant, so non-dairy milk is a requirements for me. I honestly can’t remember the last time I had dairy milk. Even for those that can tolerate milk, switching to a non-dairy alternative is a great way to add more plants to your diet. Choosing Silk Soymilk gives you the most protein of any plant-based milk option – on par with 2% dairy milk — and with 50% more calcium!

Vegetarian Breakfast Ideas

TVP Oatmeal

To get out the door quickly, make-ahead breakfasts can be a huge help. TVP Oatmeal is a great way to start your day with a high-protein punch that you can make the night before. The basic combination I use includes: 3 tablespoons of TVP (textured vegetable protein), 3 tablespoons of rolled oats, and 1/4 cup of non-dairy milk.

I mix together my basic ingredients and add the flavor in the morning, whatever fits my mood. A few ideas to consider: chocolate stevia syrup, peanut butter powder & jelly, maple syrup and brown sugar, or bananas and cinnamon.

Protein Shake

I know many people have a hard time eating solid food in the morning, which means a liquid breakfast is a better choice. There are endless protein shake combinations you can create, but I typically make simple smoothie combinations. Follow my basic formula to create your own simple smoothie or try one of these recipe ideas: Apple Crisp, Blueberry Chai, Peach Pie.

Granola Bowl

Milk & cereal is always a classic combination, but not necessary a protein-rich option in most cases. However, if you trade your sugary cereal for a protein-packed granola and top with a healthy pour of Silk Soymilk. Not all granola will help reach your high-protein goals, so make sure you read the label and look for 10+ grams of protein per serving.

Protein Waffles

Pancakes and waffles are breakfast favorites,  but not always the most balanced options. Add a little protein and the story changes. You can make your own or buy pre-packaged mix to get you started. While you can typically mix with water, amp up the protein by using Silk Soymilk as your liquid. Of course, you can mix in more flavors to mix it up even more – chocolate, peanut butter, vanilla – you’re only limited by your own imagination!

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
