Breakfast is obviously the most important meal of the day as well all know. We want the meal to be not only packed with protein and hold us over until lunch, but we also want it to taste good and satisfy us.

Sure eggs and bacon are good, but who has time to prep that every morning before work? The corporate girls are already rushing out the door to get to the office on time. Another 20 minutes to cook is not in the cards for us.

These recipes are made to be quick and easy for the busy mornings before the work day begins. Your morning time is precious and there is no time to be wasting on cooking. Another 10-20 minutes of sleeping is worth WAY more during the work week.

Fasting until lunch has also never been my thing at the office. If you arrive anytime between 8-9am to the office, you will need a little pick me up around 10-11am.

Being a remote or hybrid employee is no different. When you are in back to back meetings or have been locked in all morning on a project, you need a quick and high protein breakfast to keep you going.

Meal prep is touch and go for my lifestyle. I know how difficult it can be because life gets too busy and then time just slips away (especially on a Sunday)! However, the simpler the meal is to prep, the more likely you will actually do it for the week.

As you may be able to tell, I am not a nutritionist or know the exact macros that work best for your body. These are the foods that make me feel good and keep me full through my corporate work day.

Breakfast Containers for Work

These are the perfect size for packing breakfast for work or have it pre proportioned in your fridge for the week.

Protein Powder

This is the protein powder that is great to keep on hand. It mixes well and does not have a strong taste or leave a powder residue in the food.

Here are 5 High Protein, Quick, and Easy Breakfast Options for Work:

1. Yogurt Bowl

Yogurt has been my go to breakfast for work over the last couple of weeks. It is so easy, barely any prep, and truly keeps me full.

The nice thing about yogurt is that you can customize with any toppings. There are a variety of fruits, granolas, or other adds to keep the bowl from being boring or plain.

Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup of Plain greek yogurt
• 1/3 Granola of choice
• Dark chocolate chips

Recipe

1. Add greek yogurt to your container.
2. In a small plastic bag, add granola and a small amount of dark chocolate chips.

Don’t mix the toppings in with the yogurt just yet, they will get soggy if you don’t plan on eating the bowl for a couple hours.

2. Overnight Oats

This this is the quickest meal prep ever! Everything goes in one container and takes under a minute to prepare.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup of rolled oats
• 1/4 cup of milk of choice (I prefer almond).
• 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.
• Dash of cinnamon
• Protein powder of choice

Recipe

1. Add oats and milk to your container and mix well.
2. Drizzle in maple syrup.
3. Add protein powder of choice.
4. Add a dash of cinnamon.
5. Mix.
6. Set and let rest in fridge for 8-12 hours.

3. Avocado Bagel

Protein bagels are our latest obsession! Bagels are delicious but do not have a ton of nutritious value. There were trending all over social media so I had to try them myself.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups of flour of choice (I prefer almond)
• 1 1/2 cup of plain greek yogurt
• 4 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1 egg
• Salt
• Everything but the bagel seasoning
• 1 ripe avocado
• Optional – 2 fried eggs

Recipe (makes 6 bagels)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease a baking sheet.
3. Add flour to your bowl.
4. Mix in greek yogurt.
5. Mix in baking powder.
6. Add a dash of salt.
7. Fold mixture until all is combined. The texture will be slightly sticky.
8. Using your hands, grab a palm full of dough and roll into a ball. Begin to roll the dough into a rope. If it starts to crack or it feels too sticky, add a little more flour. Once the rope is about 6 inches long, fold into a circle and push the ends to meet on the pan.
9. Crack an egg into a small dish. Whisk until combined.
10. Coat each bagel heavily with the egg.
11. Sprinkle the top with everything but the bagel seasoning.
12. Bake for 25 minutes.
13. Slice your bagel into two halves and toast in your toaster for 4 minutes.
14. Slice and mash your avocado onto each side of the bagel.

TIP – top with 2 eggs or egg/bacon for a sandwich to add extra protein!

4. Cottage Cheese

No recipe here. However, cottage cheese is delicious and full of protein. The single serving cups in the dairy section of the grocery store are perfect to throw in your bag and have in the morning.

Quickest recipe on this blog post:

1. Add 1/2 of cottage cheese into your container.
2. Sprinkle salt and pepper into the container.
