Have a Great Day! My Favorite Higher Protein Breakfast Recipes
This post was sponsored by Arla Canada.
Are you looking for some new breakfast options that are actually filling? Bring on the protein!
For some reason, breakfast options are typically starchy. While I’m a huuuuge fan of carbs, starting your day with a carb-heavy meal instead of a protein-packed breakfast can result in hunger returning a lot quicker. Who wants to feel hungry again two hours after they’ve eaten?
We want satisfaction, right? Protein is the way to go.
I’ve partnered with Arla to highlight their new Skyr Cream Cheese while giving you some legit filling breakfast ideas and recipes that you’re going to love.
Arla Skyr Cream Cheese is made with Icelandic-style yogurt, resulting in a great-tasting Icelandic cream cheese spread that’s naturally higher in protein than regular cream cheese. It’s creamy and smooth and made with simple ingredients – buttermilk, skyr, cream, whey, salt, and bacterial culture. I love the texture – it’s not as solid as cream cheese, but thicker than yogurt, and the taste is tangy and clean.
Arla Skyr Cream Cheese is only 40 calories per two tablespoon servings, and it tastes AMAZING. It’s made without any artificial colours, flavours,
or preservatives,and is low in sat and total fat, sodium, and sugar. It’s the perfect addition to your meals and snacks at any time of the day.
Let’s start with simple.
I know a lot of you think bagels are ‘off limits’ because they’re pure carbs, but I think they’re pure delightfulness, and there is zero reason why they can’t be a part of your diet.
For those of you who love bagels as much as I do, this is for you:
The Arla bagel sandwich.
This Mediterranean-style sandwich is the perfect grab-and-go breakfast. Layered with Arla Skyr Cream Cheese, hummus, vegetables, and fresh herbs, it’s a satisfying way to start your day…and get a few vegetables in, too!
Use whichever fresh herbs you like; my faves are mint and basil.
Here are some other options:
