11 protein-packed breakfasts to power up your morning
A ripper of a question, mate! Is your brekky meeting your expectations? Believing breakfast is the most important meal of the day is a fair dinkum idea, but is your breakfast actually delivering the goods? Piling on as many nutrients as possible is a top goal for stayin' healthy, but a cracker of a breakfast can often be a bit of a miss – especially when you're in a rush in the mornin'. Slowin' down and givin' yourself time for a high-protein breakfast might just give you the energy lift you're after.

Here are 11 protein-packed brekkie options with eggs, seeds, ricotta, and more that'll keep you full all morning. The beauty of it is that most can be made ahead of time, so chuck a batch on over the weekend, chuck any leftovers in the freezer, and you're set for the week!
