Breakfast determines how well you start the day. Do you also think that the first meal needs to be uncomplicated above all else for a great start, while also tasting delicious and providing you with a solid serving of protein? Then we’ve set the table with exactly the right ideas for you: Our 13 high-protein breakfast recipes are quick to make and support your health-conscious lifestyle.
Protein Porridge – the recipe for a high-protein breakfast
The classic among all high-protein breakfast recipes is good old porridge. Our version even provides an impressive 24 g of protein per serving. How does it work? It’s simple: Mix oats with soy yogurt and Vegan Protein for the ultimate protein trio.
We recommend trying our berry porridge. Simply add fresh or frozen berries and use the berry-flavored protein powder instead of the unflavored or vanilla flavor.
The most important step: Stir everything well and leave it covered for a few hours to soak. Simply prepare your porridge in the evening, and your finished breakfast will be waiting for you the next morning.
Chocolate Overnight Oats – Meal Prep made easy
Is one of your loveliest dreams simply to fall out of bed and immediately enjoy deliciously creamy chocolate—without having to do much for it, of course? Then these Chocolate Overnight Oats are just your go-to choice among our high-protein breakfast recipes.
In the evening, grab a banana and mash it. Then mix Vegan Protein Cocoa and a plant-based drink into a protein shake. Add this to a sealable container along with the mashed banana, tender rolled oats, and chia seeds. Stir everything well, top with cacao nibs, dark chocolate, or cocoa powder as desired, and place in the refrigerator. Go to sleep and make your dreams come true the next morning.
High-Protein Chocolate Muesli Balls
This special chocolate muesli is one of those high-protein breakfast recipes that are simply fun all around. The enjoyment begins with its impressive 22 g of protein per serving.
You can make preparing them even more enjoyable by listening to your favorite music or an exciting audiobook in the meantime. First, place all the ingredients in a blender and blend them thoroughly. Then use your hands to shape the resulting smooth mixture into little balls – you decide how large they should be.
Then place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can simply leave them to rest overnight and enjoy them the next morning as they are, or bake them for 15 minutes at 160 degrees. It's best to try both versions and find out which one you like best. For breakfast, you can pour plant-based milk over the balls just like regular muesli and enjoy.
Protein bowl – ideal for meal prep
The protein bowl is an ideal way to conveniently prepare your protein-rich breakfast the evening before. With a full 45 g of protein per bowl, it gives you strength for the gym, fitness, or long days.
Here's how:
- Chop the nuts and mash the bananas
- Add the remaining ingredients and protein powder, then stir well
- Gradually add plant-based milk until you like the consistency
- Highlight: Cut the brownie protein bar into small pieces and sprinkle them over your bowl
Tip: Depending on your preference, stir in some extra cocoa or vanilla extract instead. Both taste fantastic and add variety when you prepare the bowl more often.
Protein smoothie in 3 delicious variations
Start your day refreshingly, deliciously, and with plenty of protein with one of our three protein smoothies. Each one is quick and easy to make and provides around 23 g of protein. The only question is: Will you choose berry, passion fruit–mango, or our green smoothie?
Regardless of your favorite variation, you always follow a similar process: First prepare the fruit or vegetables by peeling, removing the seeds, and cutting them into pieces as usual. Now add the liquid ingredients first, followed by your fresh treats and the protein powder, to a blender and blend for at least one minute until everything is, as the name suggests, nice and smooth.
The best vegan protein pancakes
What would high-protein breakfast recipes be without good pancakes? Here you get nothing less than the best in the world.
First, make a flaxseed egg—it’s very easy, don’t worry. Mix it with all the other ingredients to form a smooth batter. It works best with a mixer; doing it by hand, on the other hand, doubles as a little strength-training and muscle-building workout. Then simply heat oil in a pan, add a small amount of batter, and cook until golden brown on both sides.
Tip: You can also serve the pancakes as a savory dish; simply use unflavored protein powder and omit the sweetening ingredients.
Protein Crêpes – Perfect for Breakfast
For a truly French breakfast, you don't have to travel to Paris or the Côte d'Azur. Simply prepare our delicious protein crêpes and enjoy 5 g of protein per crêpe along with that certain savoir-vivre.
First mix all the dry ingredients, then add the plant-based milk and applesauce and combine everything into a smooth batter. For extra sweetness, simply add more applesauce. Note: your batter will then need to rest for about ten minutes.
Next, heat some butter in a pan and add a ladleful of batter. Immediately swirl the pan so the batter spreads across the entire surface and forms a nice, thin crêpe. Flip after about a minute, let it cook briefly, and repeat with the remaining batter.
Protein Iced Matcha Latte
Protein Iced Matcha is simply the next level: you get everything at once—the invigorating matcha kick and an extra serving of protein, specifically 17 g per serving.
Whisk your matcha powder until frothy, ideally directly with cold water. However, if your matcha can only be mixed with warm water, do that and then let it cool. Then add vanilla extract and sweetener. Now mix the matcha protein powder with plant-based milk. Add a few ice cubes to a glass, pour your protein shake over them, and finish by adding your matcha. Done!
Protein rolls—the all-rounder
Crunchy rolls are suitable for any time of day and form the basis for delicious high-protein breakfast recipes—true all-rounders.
These small rolls provide 10 g of protein each and are incredibly easy to make yourself, even if you're new to baking. You just need a little time.
- Mix the yeast with the water and maple syrup and let it rest briefly.
- Stir together the dry ingredients.
- Now add the dry ingredients and quark to the yeast water.
- Knead for about ten minutes—upper-body workout completed for the day!
- Let the dough rest in a warm place for about an hour and a half.
- Shape about eight rolls by hand and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Let the shaped rolls rise for another half hour while preheating the oven.
- Cut a cross into the rolls, spray them with water, and put them in the oven for a total of about 20 minutes.
Vegan protein bread with seeds
Bread in the morning is a true classic—and it can also be packed with nutrients and protein. With our vegan protein bread, you can enjoy 34 g of protein per serving at breakfast. Simply put all the ingredients in a bowl and knead them into a dough for several minutes. Then let it rest for an hour. Next, place it in a baking pan lined with parchment paper and let it rest there for another 15 minutes.
Then simply place it in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, let it cool, and you can enjoy your bread straight away or save it for breakfast over the next few days.
Light protein waffles—extra fluffy
Waffles for breakfast? Absolutely! With this recipe, the classic becomes vegan and higher in protein—while remaining wonderfully fluffy. Each serving provides 12 g of protein and plenty of enjoyment.
Dry ingredients first, wet ingredients second: Mix the flour, Vetain vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Then pour in the plant-based milk, sparkling water, oil, lemon juice, and maple syrup, and whisk or blend with a hand mixer until you have a smooth, fairly thick batter. Now bake it in portions in the preheated waffle iron. After about 3 to 4 minutes, the waffles should be golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.
Now all that’s missing are the perfect toppings. How about some fresh fruit, for example? Alternatively, you can spread chocolate or nut butter on your protein waffles and top them with banana slices. A savory version works too—try guacamole or fried mushrooms and onions. In that case, be sure to use unflavored protein powder for the batter and leave out the vanilla extract and maple syrup.
Protein rice pudding with apple compote – childhood memories with extra protein
Creamy rice pudding, the warm scent of cinnamon, and caramelized apples—it sounds like cozy childhood days, doesn’t it? This vegan recipe brings the classic from Mom’s kitchen back to your plate while providing an impressive 24 g of protein per serving.
First, bring soy milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt to a boil. Then add the uncooked rice pudding rice and let everything simmer over low heat for about 25 to 35 minutes until the rice has swollen.
Meanwhile, prepare the apple compote with apple pieces, apple juice, and a little brown sugar. You should also stir the rice pudding from time to time so it does not stick to the bottom of the pot.
Finally, whisk the Vetain vanilla protein powder with a little soy milk until smooth, then stir it into the finished rice pudding. Serve warm and top with the caramelized apple compote and, if desired, cinnamon or berries.
Protein Kaiserschmarrn – an Austrian classic reimagined
Fancy a trip to an Alpine pasture? You don’t even need to lace up your hiking boots. This vegan protein Kaiserschmarrn brings the cozy atmosphere of an Austrian mountain hut straight to your kitchen—with 15 g of protein per serving.
The preparation is simple: First, mix the flour, Vetain vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then stir in the plant-based milk, sparkling water, maple syrup, and lemon juice.
Pour the batter, whisked smooth in HIIT mode, into a hot, lightly oiled pan and bake for about 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown. Then divide it, turn the pieces over, and tear them into typical Kaiserschmarrn pieces using two spatulas. Bake briefly until done and serve hot with powdered sugar, applesauce, or fresh fruit.
