One of the simplest easy breakfast ideas to throw together is a good-old yogurt and granola. We recommend a yogurt like siggi's Icelandic skyr, which has between 15 and 17 grams of protein per 5.3-ounce container. Simply top with a handful of fresh berries of your choice, sprinkle on some low-sugar, whole-grain, nutty granola and you're ready to go!

Pop two high-quality waffles in the toaster—we recommend either a high-protein brand like Buttermilk & Vanilla Power Waffles from Kodiak Cakes or a high-fiber serving such as Kashi's 7-Grain Waffles. Top one side with our favorite no-sugar-added peanut butter, like Maranatha Creamy, the other with either jelly or fresh berries, and breakfast is served.

Or make your own nut butter! Here's How to Make Nut Butter at Home With the Easiest Recipe.

No sugary smoothies here! Berries have a good reputation in the fruit category because they are one of the few fruits that we haven't genetically modified to be larger and sweeter over the years. They are actually much lower in sugar content than other fruits and fall on the low-carb side of the fruit scale.

Toast up some bread, slab on some goat cheese, sprinkle some cinnamon, layer with sliced figs, and top it all off with spiced honey.

Breakfast tacos! Scramble eggs with spinach and hunks of chorizo sausage or mushrooms. Serve in warm tortillas topped with black beans, sliced avocado, cheese, and salsa.

For a veggie-filled breakfast, scramble two eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. In a non-stick pan, add a pat of butter and saute mushrooms until lightly browned. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Pour in the scrambled eggs, top with feta or goat cheese, and cook until your preferred doneness.

Combine cooked quinoa in a pan with a half cup of milk, golden raisins, a touch of brown sugar, and toasted walnuts. Heat until hot and creamy.

For a tropical treat, blend together half a cup of coconut water, half a cup of unsweetened almond milk, half a cup of Icelandic or Greek yogurt, half a banana, half a cup of frozen mango cubes, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Toast a whole-grain, high-protein waffle until crispy. Top with honeyed yogurt, sliced bananas, and slivered almonds.

Grab a bag of frozen hash browns—we like Alexia Organic Hashed Browns—and fry them up. Top with freshly cubed avocado and an over-easy fried egg. To up the greens, you can even grate some fresh zucchini and mix together with the potatoes before frying.

Stir a spoonful of peanut butter into a bowl of plain instant oatmeal. Top with diced apples, crushed walnuts, and cinnamon.

Pancakes are probably one of the simplest easy breakfast ideas you can make, but they're usually carb-heavy and don't provide a ton of protein for a satisfying and filling morning meal (sorry, just relaying facts here). Adding protein powder can totally help though!

If you're a chocoholic, you'll love this smoothie. It has all of the smooth and delicious flavors of a chocolate peanut butter cup, without all of the fat and sugar. Blend together chocolate protein powder, a cup of almond milk, a tablespoon of peanut butter, a frozen banana, a small handful of walnuts, and a dash of cinnamon.

Have some leftover ricotta from that lasagna or baked ziti you made the other night? Smear some on some whole grain toast, top with berries and chia seeds, and you're good to go.

When you have leftover broccoli from last night's dinner, you might as well throw it into an omelet with cheddar cheese and cubed Canadian bacon.

A classic quick breakfast. Spread a toasted whole-wheat slice of bread with peanut or almond butter. Top with sliced bananas, a drizzle of honey, and chia seeds.

When in doubt, just throw some low-sugar granola in a bowl with a high-protein milk like dairy or pea protein milk. Looking for a healthy milk alternative? Try the 12-gram per serving pea protein milk from Bolthouse Farms.

Instead of saving that Sunday bacon for Monday's lunch, why not doubling down and having it for breakfast again? But on a BLEAT. (That's an acronym for bacon, lettuce, egg, avocado, and tomato.)

Pop an English muffin in the toaster. Fry an egg in a pan alongside a couple slices of Canadian bacon. Top with shredded cheddar cheese. Place under the broiler until the cheese melts and bubbles.

For a high-protein take on typically carb-centric oatmeal, throw a scoop of your favorite flavored protein powder in with your oats, milk, and then top with your favorite fruit and flax seeds for some extra fiber.
