My friend Sarah shared a great high protein breakfast idea that I wanted to pass along:
“It seems as though breakfast is centered around sugar. Cereal, oatmeal, juice, coffee creamer, syrup…
I eat this probably 3-4 times per week and it’s super simple! About 36 g of protein, less than 500 calories and veggies! If you’re staying away from bread you would need to omit the tortilla.
Put a tortilla in a pie dish.
Fill with 1 egg, 3 egg whites, 1/4 c cottage cheese, and veggies of choice (I do broccoli). Season with pepper and salt.
Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Bake at 375 until set.”
What ideas can you share with this group? For me, I love my hydrate drink, healthy protein shake, and eggs with a sprinkle of cheese and spinach.

OMGoodness this seems so quick and easy! Want to try this but I do have one question. Do you have a substitute idea for the cottage cheese?
Sure! Feta, ricotta or another cheese should work well. Or do you want no cheese?
