Breakfasts are not meant to be skipped; they are very important, as they give you the energy to start your day. Studies have shown that adding protein to your early morning meals will keep your appetite in check, and decrease hunger-stimulating hormones, compared to a high-carb breakfast.
It is not just about eating breakfasts daily but eating the right thing consistently, and protein is an option that shouldn’t be overlooked. So, instead of just jumbling up things to fix breakfast, why not go for protein-rich foods instead?
Here are some protein-rich foods you might never have considered, and their benefits
1. Oatmeal made with water
Steaming oatmeal for breakfast is a great way to start your day, due to its amazing benefits. This meal contains a type of fiber known as beta-glucan that helps to lower bad cholesterol in the body, which in turn would reduce the risk of diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.
2. Cereal and milk
Some cereals contain a very high amount of protein, while some have very little. You can check the nutritional benefits of the cereal you are interested in, before buying. Milk is also an amazing dairy product with enough protein to build the body and calcium for stronger bones. A combination of these two—cereal and milk—will not only brighten your morning but contribute to the maintenance and balance of your health.
3. Yogurt
Yogurt is rich in not just protein, but also in calcium, iodine, vitamin B12, and probiotics, all of which will help you keep fit. Other amazing benefits of this meal are that it smoothens the skin, and can help you to recover faster after a workout. However, if you are trying to cut back on fats, it’s best you take more of low-fat yogurts.
4. Banana
Banana is an amazing fruit that is beneficial to human health. It contains a fair amount of fiber, coupled with some antioxidants that will help prevent the oxidation of some unnecessary molecules in the body. For more amazing benefits, add other protein-rich foods, like cottage cheese.
5. Pancakes
Pancakes are one of the easiest but nutritional food to snack on at any time. While you plan your meal carefully, try to incorporate pancakes. They are rich in protein and fiber, which will help to keep the body full, without having to consume too many calories. For more additional benefits, you can eat your pancakes alongside oatmeal, or add whole wheat while you prepare them.
Conclusion
You need enough energy to carry you through the day, and that is close to impossible if you keep missing breakfasts. Start your day right with not just breakfast, but with foods rich in protein, for more energy and healthy balance.
