Tips to Make Quick Protein Breakfast

Use fresh, local eggs for the best flavor. Trust me; they make all the difference!
Egg white lovers can swap out one or both eggs for egg whites – still tasty, just a little lighter.
Feeling adventurous? Add some spices to the egg mix, like paprika or garlic powder, for an extra kick.
Go nuts with your toppings! Pumpkin seeds or even a sprinkle of feta cheese could work wonders.
If you want a creamy texture, opt for thicker Greek yogurt over regular yogurt. 😉

Variation

Want to switch it up? Try using tofu instead of eggs for a vegan option. Add a touch of nutritional yeast to the yogurt mix for that cheesy vibe. Or if you’re in the mood for something sweet, swap those savory greens for some sliced bananas and a drizzle of honey on top – breakfast magic!
