High-protein eggless breakfast meal prep

38g protein

There has been an egg shortage so I had to get creative on ways to get my protein in in the morning. The eggs I prefer (pasture raised, organic), are difficult to come by. And my toddler has 1 egg each morning for breakfast, husband has 3 and if I had 2 eggs, we would be going through about a dozen eggs every 2 days. So I had to get creative.

To add to it, mornings can be chaos. Between getting my toddler up, getting her breakfast ready, emptying the dishwasher, filming any brand content and getting ready for the day. The last thing I have time for is cooking a full-on breakfast for myself. Here’s a snapshot of a morning in the Leaf house!

Knowing all of that, there are a few things I do to help set me up for a much more calm morning and keep me fueled without breaking the bank. Here’s my secret:

I’m obsessed with this high-protein meal prep… it’s 38g of protein, insanely easy, and actually keeps me full. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my energy levels and cravings since making this my go-to breakfast. I don’t crash, I don’t feel snacky, and I actually feel good starting my day.

I also love how flexible it is. I switch up the protein depending on what I feel like—ground beef when I’m around my menstrual phase (iron boost!), ground turkey when I want something lighter, and sometimes ground chicken just to keep things different.

And the base? It’s whatever I have on hand. Most of the time it’s quinoa, but I’ll swap it for rice, cauliflower rice, roasted sweet potatoes, or even throw it over some sautéed greens if I’m feeling extra. No rules, no stress. Just a warming, nourishing, feel-good meal that keeps me going.

And the best part? It takes less than a minute to heat up. No chopping, no standing over the stove, no effort required. Just grab, heat, and eat. If you’re like me and need breakfast to be easy but also actually satisfying, this one’s for you!!
