12 High-Protein Breakfasts With 20g or More
Twelve breakfasts that deliver at least 20g of protein, with calories, cost per serving, and cook times for each.
Most American breakfasts are dessert with better branding — a bagel has about 10g of protein, a bowl of cereal less. Every breakfast here clears 20g, which is the difference between being hungry at 10am and making it to lunch.
Costs and macros listed for each; most take under 15 minutes.
