Protein breakfasts - key information

The role of the first meal during the day is undeniably important, especially in the context of working on a slim body shape and correct weight. Does the trend of protein breakfasts have any justification for health and the daily diet? What should you know about preparing such meals?

Protein breakfasts – benefits

There is no doubt that protein breakfasts are an effective way to promote and maintain muscle mass. Complete proteins of animal and plant origin are a fundamental building block for muscle tissue. Moreover, protein is also a valuable source of amino acids (e.g. exogenous BCAAs and EAAs) supporting the maintenance of optimal nitrogen balance, which is one of the ways to protect muscles against the adverse effects of exhausting strength and endurance training.

 

The use of protein breakfasts will certainly help to cope with high levels of hunger and excessive appetite. Protein provides an extended feeling of satiety and fills the stomach very effectively. Its slow digestive process makes it possible to forget about hunger for a long time - especially in the case of legumes, which often provide a large portion of valuable dietary fibre. Thanks to this, they increase the metabolic rate and help to lose excess kilograms more quickly. That is why a protein breakfast is recommended for people who are losing weight and fighting against stubborn fat.

Recipes for delicious protein breakfasts

Protein breakfasts: chocolate and raspberry protein oatmeal

Protein breakfasts: vegan fruit and vegetable cocktail

An ideal option for the busy people!

Protein breakfasts: savoury or sweet omelets

Preparing omelets can be difficult, but not with the Olimp Sport Nutrition brand! With Olimp Hi Protein Omelette, you can easily prepare delicious omelets with a high protein content, which are suitable for either salty (e.g. with tomatoes, ham and feta cheese) or sweet (e.g. with fruit, bitter chocolate and cashew nuts) options.

Protein breakfasts: homemade hummus

Vegetable spreads are ideal for protein breakfasts, but also a great addition to other meals (e.g. as a base for sauces). Boiled chickpeas should be combined with roasted sunflower or sesame and a small amount of oil. Season the whole thing with your favourite spices (e.g. black pepper, sweet and hot pepper and a bit of salt) and then mix it with a blender until smooth.
