Prioritizing Protein at Breakfast
I’m a huge advocate for eating enough protein at each meal to help support your metabolic health. In fact, in my signature program, The 4 Method, getting enough protein at breakfast is our very first goal. Once you at least start hitting 30g protein for breakfast, then you can begin to optimize for enough fiber and healthy fat as well to hit the trifecta of a balanced meal – protein, fat, and fiber!
High Protein Breakfast Casserole
Protein is the most satiating macronutrient (macronutrients include proteins, fats, and carbohydrates). This means that a meal lacking enough protein will keep you feeling hungry shortly after or unable to make it to your next meal without feeling excessively hungry.
But one question I get A LOT is “How can I eat more protein at breakfast?”
Two eggs alone are not enough to get you there, which is where this all-in-one High Protein Breakfast Bake comes in! Simply whip up the ingredients in ONE BOWL and then bake for 25 minutes. One serving provides about 20g protein. To get even more protein, add some healthy toppings listed next.
Healthy Toppings for Blueberry Breakfast Casserole
This high protein breakfast casserole packs extra sustaining protein for your breakfast. But this is so moist and tastes like heaven topped with additional Greek yogurt and peanut butter to get to at least 30g protein to start your day😋! Seriously, simply mix together Greek yogurt and peanut butter for a delicious & protein-packed “mousse”. Yum!
Along with protein and healthy fats, fiber also helps to balance blood sugar which is key in weight management. To add additional fiber, try pairing your High Protein Breakfast Bake with a small serving of chia pudding to get closer to 8-10g fiber per meal. Learn more about the importance of protein, fat and fiber (PFF) in my free downloadable guide. In a nutshell, it’s a simple framework for building meals and snacks to promote blood sugar balance; the fundamental process involved in weight management and an overall healthy metabolism.

- 1/4 cup Flax Seed ground
- 2 tsp Stevia Powder or 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp Salt

- Stir in the yogurt, protein powder, flax, sweetener, and salt.
- Stir in the blueberries and evenly distribute (if using frozen blueberries, watch the batter turn purple).
- Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until browned (test if the center is cooked by inserting a knife and if it comes out clean).
- Let cool completely. Better yet, let it cook and sit in the fridge for a few hours. It tastes better after it rests.
