Breakfast determines how well you start your day. Do you also think that the first meal should be above all easy to make for a great start, taste delicious, and provide you with a solid serving of protein? Then we've set the table with just the right ideas: 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 high-protein breakfast recipes is good old porridge. Our version provides a generous 24 g of protein per serving. How? It's easy: 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 protein powder in berry flavor instead of the unflavored or vanilla version.
The most important step: Stir everything well and leave it covered to sit for a few hours. Simply prepare your porridge in the evening, and your ready-made breakfast will be waiting for you the next morning.
Chocolate Overnight Oats - meal prep made easy
Do your sweetest dreams involve simply rolling out of bed and enjoying deliciously creamy chocolate right away - without having to do much? Then these chocolate overnight oats are your go-to among our high-protein breakfast recipes.
Grab a banana in the evening and mash it. Then mix a protein shake with Vegan Protein Cocoa and plant-based milk. Add it to a sealable container along with the mashed banana, rolled oats, and chia seeds. Stir everything well, top with cocoa nibs, dark chocolate, or cocoa powder as desired, and place it in the fridge. Go to sleep and make your dreams come true the next morning.
High-Protein Chocolate Muesli Bites
This special chocolate muesli is one of those high-protein breakfast recipes that are simply a joy all around. That starts with its delicious protein count of 22 g per serving.
You can make the preparation more enjoyable by listening to your favorite music or an exciting audiobook as you go. First, put all the ingredients in a blender and blend thoroughly. Then use your hands to shape the smooth mixture into little balls—the size is entirely up to you.
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—or bake them for 15 minutes at 160 degrees. It's best to try both options to find out which you like best. For breakfast, pour plant-based milk over the balls and enjoy them like regular muesli.
Protein Bowl – Ideal for Meal Prep
A great way to conveniently prepare your high-protein breakfast the night before is a protein bowl. With a full 45 g of protein per bowl, it will fuel you 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 up a brownie protein bar and sprinkle it over your bowl
Tip: Depending on your preference, stir in some extra cocoa or vanilla extract. Both taste fantastic and add variety if you make the bowl often.
Protein Smoothie in 3 Delicious Variations
Start your day with one of our three protein smoothies—refreshing, delicious, and high in protein. Each one is quick and easy to make and contains about 23 g of protein. The only question is: will you choose berry, passion fruit-mango, or our green smoothie?
Whichever variation you choose, the process is similar: First, prepare the fruit or vegetables as usual by peeling, removing the seeds, and cutting them into pieces. Add the liquid ingredients to a blender first, then your fresh ingredients and protein powder, 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'll find only the very best in the world.
First, make a flax egg - it's 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 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 savory; simply use unflavored protein powder and leave out sweetening ingredients.
Protein Crêpes - Perfect for Breakfast
You don't have to go to Paris or the Côte d'Azur for a truly French breakfast. Simply make our delicious protein crêpes and enjoy 5 g of protein per crêpe along with that certain je ne sais quoi.
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 a little butter in a pan and add a ladleful of batter. Immediately swirl the pan so the batter spreads over the entire surface and forms a nice, thin crêpe. Flip after about a minute, cook briefly on the other side, and repeat with the remaining batter.
Protein Iced Matcha Latte
Protein Iced Matcha is simply the next level: you get everything at once, an energizing matcha kick and an extra serving of protein - 17 g per serving, to be precise.
Whisk your matcha powder until frothy, ideally with cold water. If your matcha can only be mixed with warm water, do that and then let it cool. Next, 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 with your matcha. Done!
Protein Rolls - The All-Rounder
Crunchy rolls are suitable for any time of day and lay the foundation for delicious high-protein breakfast recipes - true all-rounders.
These little rolls pack 10 g of protein each and are easy to make even if you’re new to baking. All you need is a little time.
- Mix the yeast with water and maple syrup and leave it to rest briefly.
- Stir together the dry ingredients.
- Now add the dry ingredients and quark to the yeast mixture.
- Knead for about ten minutes – that’s your upper-body workout for the day done!
- Leave the dough to rise 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.
- Leave the shaped rolls to rise for another half hour while you preheat the oven.
- Cut a cross into the rolls, spray them with water, and put them in the oven for about 20 minutes in total.
Vegan protein bread with seeds
Bread for breakfast is a true classic – and it can be packed with nutrients and protein, too. Enjoy 34 g of protein per serving for breakfast with our vegan protein bread. Simply add all the ingredients to a bowl and knead them into a dough for several minutes. Then leave it to rest for an hour. Transfer it to a baking pan lined with parchment paper and leave it to rest for another 15 minutes.
Then just bake in a preheated oven for about 30 minutes, leave to cool, and enjoy your bread right away or save it for breakfast over the next few days.
Light protein waffles – extra fluffy
Waffles for breakfast? Absolutely! With this recipe, this classic becomes vegan and higher in protein, while staying wonderfully fluffy. Each serving provides 12 g of protein and plenty of deliciousness.
Dry ingredients first, then wet: Mix the flour, Vetain vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Then add the plant-based milk, sparkling water, oil, lemon juice, and maple syrup, and whisk everything together with a whisk or hand mixer until you have a smooth, fairly thick batter. Cook it in batches in a preheated waffle iron. After about 3 to 4 minutes, the waffles should be golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.
All that’s missing now is the perfect toppings: how about some fresh fruit? Or spread your protein waffles with chocolate or nut butter and top them with banana slices. You can also go savory, with guacamole or sautéed mushrooms and onions, for example. Just be sure to use unflavored protein powder in 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 - sounds like cozy childhood days, doesn’t it? This vegan recipe brings the classic from Mom’s kitchen back to your plate, with an impressive 24 g of protein per serving.
First, bring soy milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt to a boil. Then add the unwashed rice pudding rice and let everything simmer over low heat for about 25 to 35 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the apple compote using apple pieces, apple juice, and a little brown sugar. Stir the rice pudding from time to time so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot.
Finally, stir the Vetain vanilla protein powder with a little soy milk until smooth, then mix it into the cooked rice pudding. Serve warm and top with the caramelized apple compote and, if you like, 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 feel of an Austrian mountain hut right into your kitchen, with 15 g of protein per serving.
Preparation is simple: First, mix the flour, Vetain vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then stir in plant-based milk, sparkling water, maple syrup, and lemon juice.
Pour the batter, whisked until smooth on HIIT mode, into a hot, lightly oiled pan and let it cook for about 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown. Then divide it, flip the pieces, and tear them into the classic Kaiserschmarrn chunks using two spatulas. Cook briefly until done, then serve hot with powdered sugar, applesauce, or fresh fruit.
