There’s nothing quite like starting your day off with an intense workout session. It makes your whole day better and kicks things off in the right direction. But, if you skip breakfast to sneak in that little bit of extra sleep before your 6 a.m. kickboxing session, you’ll be kicking yourself when your stomach grumbles loudly 15 minutes into sparring.

To avoid that pain and embarrassment, check out these high-protein breakfast ideas that are guaranteed to keep you full and fuel your favorite morning workout.

Chocolate-Banana Protein Shakes

If you’re crunched on time before you get your daily set of crunches on, then this high-protein breakfast idea is perfect for you. It only takes a few minutes right when you wake up to throw together a delicious, high-protein shake that will help you power through whatever the day has in store for you.

To make an ideal high-protein shake, start with frozen banana chunks. For protein, add in a cup of almond milk, two tablespoons of peanut butter, and whatever protein powder you prefer. To get that extra chocolatey taste without the extra sugar, add a couple of tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder.

Bonus: the flavonoids in the cocoa powder will give your body an added antioxidant boost!

Veggie Power Protein Omelets

Eggs are a staple in both the breakfast arena and the workout realm. If you want to bulk up and get fit, eggs are a powerhouse food; they’re practically made for the gym.

Take that protein power that eggs bring to the table and multiply it by the health benefits you can derive from veggies. Depending on your tastes, you can add things like iron-rich spinach, fiber-dense broccoli, or lycopene-full tomatoes to take your power omelet (and your morning workout) to the next level—and beyond!

Apples and Cottage Cheese

Again, this high-protein breakfast solution is for those who don’t have a lot of time to spare in the morning. This spectacular combo is easy to throw together when you’re groggy first thing in the morning and need a quick, lasting burst of energy to get you going.

In just a single serving, cottage cheese packs a whopping 28 grams of pure protein. That’s tough to beat. Throw in an apple for long-lasting fiber and energy. You’ll be powering through your morning workout in no time—with no pesky stomach growling in sight.
