Bring on the protein! If you want a recipe that will keep you satisfied for hours as you start your day, this is the one to try.  Especially if you have weight to lose, eating a protein packed breakfast is a smart choice.

Why?

Well, let’s look at some popular breakfast choices. Cereal, pastries, bread  (toast and croissants), pancakes and waffles (made with processed flours) are beloved breakfast choices here in the Western world but they are full of sugar and refined carbs.

Not only that, but they lack protein so you’re feeling hungry again in a much shorter period of time. In the case of high sugar breakfasts like gooey pastries your blood sugar spikes and then crashes later on. You’ll probably feel tired, unable to focus and – you guessed it – hungry…maybe even ravenous.

And it can be much harder to make healthy choices at that point.

The other thing is that the amount of protein in your diet is actually linked to belly weight. The more healthy protein you eat (we’re not talking McDonald’s Sausage, here) the easier it is to get a lean mid-section (1).

The other thing is that breakfast includes important macronutrients like protein and healthy fat. This breakfast contains tons of protein with quinoa, eggs, bacon and healthy fat from the avocado, coconut oil and butter.

Plus, it’s tasty – an absolute requirement.

If you’re worried about the quinoa, because you’re strict Paleo consider leaving it out altogether, or try this sprouted quinoa brand that I love. Sprouting reduces levels of saponins, phytic acid and lectins that are avoided on the Paleo Diet.

This one will fill you up and give you an amazing start to the day! Check out the time-saving tips underneath the recipe for shortcuts to make your morning meal simple and easy.
