This High Protein Breakfast Bowl is gluten free, low carb, and high in fiber. It’s the easiest high protein breakfast to keep you full and satisfied!

Having a breakfast that’s higher in protein has been a focus of mine for a while now for a number of reasons. Protein is great for keeping you fuller for longer, curbing sugar cravings, helping to regulate blood sugar, and being an important macro-nutrient for body/muscle repair. Since prioritizing protein throughout my day, especially in the morning, I’ve noticed my digestion is so much better, I have more energy, I’m not as hungry between meals, and my sweet tooth isn’t as loud in the afternoon! Everybody can benefit from more protein in their diet to feel better overall.

Another focus of mine to start the day off right is to make my first meal balanced with protein, fiber, and healthy fats. I try to follow this template for most of my meals but especially in the morning because if I don’t I notice I have more cravings throughout the day! In this breakfast bowl, we have eggs and cottage cheese for protein, cherry tomatoes and olives for fiber, and avocado for fiber and healthy fats. What I love about this bowl is you can switch it up each day based on what you have in the fridge and what flavors you’re craving.

Why You’ll Love This

Minimal ingredients – This recipe uses as many ingredients as you want! The focus is on having cottage cheese and eggs for main protein sources and adding fiber and fats for a balanced breakfast. Use any veggies, herbs, spices that you have in the kitchen or that sounds good!
High protein – Between the cottage cheese and soft boiled eggs, this bowl easily packs in protein to help keep you satisfied. If you want to increase it even more, add some breakfast sausage like these from Amylu or Applegate!
Ready in minutes – The soft boiled eggs take no time to make (even less if you meal prep in advance) – so all you have to do is throw everything together in your bowl.
Dietary friendly – This breakfast is gluten free, low carb, and high protein.

What You’ll Need

Cottage cheese – My favorite is the full-fat from Good Culture.
Olives – I used the jalapeño garlic olives from Costco, they were delish!
Avocado
Soft boiled eggs
Cherry tomatoes
Fresh dill
Salt & pepper
Red pepper flakes – Optional, but they add a little spice.
Other toppings of choice – Any vegetable would be so yummy! Cucumber, shredded carrot, beets, mushrooms, etc.

How To Make

To make the soft boiled eggs, add the eggs to a medium sized pot.
Add enough water to cover the eggs and put the stovetop on high heat.
Bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, set a timer for 5 minutes while the eggs cook.
After 5 minutes is up, carefully dump the hot water and transfer the eggs to a medium bowl. Run cold water over them until they are cool enough to peel.
To make the breakfast bowl, place a serving of cottage cheese on a bowl or plate, add two sliced eggs, vegetables of choice, avocado, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. (I listed exactly what I used for this recipe above!)
Enjoy!
