Recent advice is to eat protein at breakfast. How can I add protein without cooking meat or eggs?

I usually eat oatmeal with craisins and flax meal and soy milk. Occasionally, I have whole wheat toast with natural peanut butter and fruit spread. Always black coffee. Sometimes orange juice. I know this sounds boring but it's a quick and easy way for me to eat breakfast instead of skipping it. Just wondering if I should try harder to add more protein. Thanks.Recent advice is to eat protein at breakfast. How can I add protein without cooking meat or eggs?
the peanut butter in your diet is already a step in the right direction. without meat, eggs , or artificial stuff like protein shakes or powder (which are expensive anyway), the only things you have left are beans and nuts. try adding nuts to your oatmeal . if you have to have breakfast fast then a bag of nuts may be good to eat just after breakfast. if you have a bit more time you could microwave some baked beans and have beans on toast =D

Yogurt, milk, cottage cheese, string cheese, any dairy products.


Peanut butter is fine for protein also.


You can also buy those easy microwavable sausages, bacon, and the jimmy dean breakfast sandwiches.


Also, there's no reason you can't have a tuna sandwich, or even leftover meats and vegetables from the night before.
Unless you're hard-core body builder, your usual breakfast fare should provide enough protein. As a matter of fact, you're eating very balanced breakfasts.


Peanut butter and soy milk are both good sources of protein. If you can, try to have a glass of milk or a cup of yogurt (soy or regular are both fine). A glass of soy milk or two tablespoons of natural peanut butter provide more than 20% of the recommended daily dose, so you are fine.
what you're eating now has adequate protein. in fact, they're very good breakfasts.





there aren't really many other ways to add protein without adding meat or eggs. for some other options though, you could try having yogurt with granola in the morning, sprinkled with nuts for protein, and maybe switch the peanut butter for almond or cashew butter and add fresh sliced banana on top instead of the fruit spread-the banana will be more satiating than sugared fruit.
Yeah, protein isn't something you want to pass on for breakfast, it can make you feel a hundred times better during the day, I don't eat a lot of meat so the best solution is to just drink a protein drink while having your normal breakfast (canned or milk+protein powder).
I drink carnations instant. It comes in packets powder or in a small plastic bottle. The flavors are strawberry, chocolate and vanilla. My favorite is the vanilla. Its got 2 times more the protien of an egg and has lots of vitamins and minerals. Its 4 dollars a box of like 10. You can buy it at any grocery store or at like walmart or where ever they sell food. Walgreens, rite aid, cvs. It will keep you full for a few hours as well.
Add protein powder to your oatmeal - you can buy it at any health food store or pharmacy.

Well, the peanut butter already has protein in it so you should be fine.
BobApril is correct! I buy plain quick oats, and then my hubby mixes those with a scoop or two of chocolate protein. I also put protein powder in our pancakes (made with wheat flour).
Make a banana smoothie with some protein powder in it. I used to down these in the summer when I played field hockey.
