High-Protein Breakfast Ideas After a Morning Workout

The truth is, I need two breakfasts those mornings—one at 7 a.m. and the other around 10 a.m. If one or both are not high enough in protein, I’m starving for the entire day. The hangry cycle doesn’t break till bedtime. I’ve compiled my favorite post-workout breakfasts that fuel me, and I hope they will fuel you, too.
