Protein-rich breakfasts
The traditional breakfast often provides a large amount of carbohydrates and very little protein, which provides immediate energy but then ends up causing fatigue and hunger. Including proteins, and also healthy fats, is one of the keys to making breakfasts more satisfying.
Whether it is a sweet breakfast or a salty breakfast, a breakfast rich in protein will allow us tokeep it longer in the morning without having to snack. Additionally, by avoiding refined carbohydrates we help combat inflammation.
We can increase the protein content of breakfasts in different ways:
Protein breakfasts with eggs
The egg provides both proteins of high biological value and fats, a combination that promotes the feeling of satiety. These three egg breakfast recipes, from Paola Procell (@paola_cocinasana), are especially rich in protein:
- Keto coconut and blueberry mug cake
- Carrot and almond bread stuffed with avocado and egg
- Pumpkin crepe stuffed with avocado, cashews and tofu
