Breakfast time can be chaos, let’s be honest. Whether we’re rushing out the door to get the kids to school or to get to work on time, there’s rarely time to cook a full meal. But when we have fitness, nutrition, and weight loss aspirations, skipping breakfast or grabbing food at the drive-thru isn’t conducive to achieving our goals.

Keep in mind that these are breakfast ideas that are super versatile and customizable! The idea here is to help you get some ideas on how to put together a high-protein meal that doesn’t require a single pan!
