*ALL KINDS OF OATS!*
If you’ve been watching my what I eat in a day videos for awhile then you’ve probably noticed that I love making all kinds of oatmeals. A lot of people don’t realize this but you can actually get 7 grams of protein just from your oats in your oatmeal. A quick tip that one of my subscribers reminded me of recently is to make sure that when shopping for oats that you buy the organic ones because non-organic oats generally have a much higher level of glyphosates which are found in pesticides. If you want to improve your gut health then you’ll want to double check that your oats are organic.

*CHIA PUDDING*
A great way to add more variety to your breakfast recipes is to swap out oats for chia pudding. I personally make chia pudding a lot more during the warmer months as it’s refreshing but the great thing about this recipe is that it only needs to sit in the fridge for an hour so you can easily make it in the morning and take it to work and eat it on your coffee break if you prefer a later breakfast.

*QUINOA BREAKFAST BOWLS*
My husband actually created this recipe about 7 years ago and he’d eat these every day while training to do triathlon. They’re super filling, high-protein, and super quick to whip up. I highly recommend that you organize some of your favourite ingredients into a breakfast bar on your counter. Buy a few jars and go to your grocery stores bulk section and buy your favourite nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, dried cranberries or whatever else you think you’d love. It’s a game changer for easy meal prep breakfast!

*LENTIL WAFFLES*
Waffles can definitely be a healthy breakfast option! Instead of using flour, butter, and syrup, you can make a few easy adjustments to transform a classic into something reasonably healthy. Lentil waffles are my absolute favourite as they have far more protein and if you top them with protein packed seeds and nut butters then you can have a pretty filling meal.

*CLASSIC BREAKFAST*
Bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, sausages….yes, you can have it all and it’s even healthier and has far less cholesterol when you make it plant-based! I make this every single week and you can easily swap out your sausage for a healthier tofu or rice paper bacon.This is super filling and you can totally meal prep everything here. I also prefer to swap out the hashbrowns for roasted air fryer potatoes because when you air fry them again the next day they always end up even crunchier!

Today I’m going to show you guys six different high protein breakfast recipes that I eat pretty much every week they all have quite a variety of different flavors so whether you’re feeling something that’s like a fruity dessert or a Savory one you’re definitely going to find the one that’s right for you
Here if you’re new here hello I’m Janelle and I create vegan and gluten-free recipe videos what I eat in a day videos grocery hauls all that good stuff so if you haven’t already make sure that you are subscribed below so that I can help you in your plant T
Eating Journey all of today’s recipes are vegan and gluten-free and five out of six of them are meal prep friendly so let’s just get right into the two oat recipes that I love to make every week we’re going to start with one that I’ve actually recently just started making it
Is a fairly basic oatmeal recipe but the kicker is this delicious blueberry and applesauce basically we’re stewing up blueberries and apples together and they are so so good they totally level up any Plain Jane boring oatmeal you can really do this with practically any fruit you like but I honestly love pairing apples
And really any kind of berry so if it’s not blueberry seasoned for you you can use any kind of frozen or fresh Berry but making a batch of stewed fruit could not be simpler when you are cooking up a pot of oatmeal on the stove all you have
To do is literally add your fresh apples fresh or frozen berries into a saucepan add a tiny little bit of water no oil or butter needed and let them just cook down in their own juices and trust me they will get a really really juicy as
They cook and if you want to add just a little bit of sweetness you can add a touch of maple syrup some vanilla a bit of cinnamon and you have an awesome delicious sauce and if you want it to be a little bit thicker and chunkier you
Can kind of not stir the sauce too much as it Cooks so that the apples and the berries retain more of their shape but you can also mash them down with a potato masher or a fork just to help them get a little bit more mashy and
More like a compost or muddled I guess and it’s so good either way now in this video I had leftover oatmeal meal that I’d made previously and also I’ll just throw in a tip that oats are super meal prep friendly which is basically what you’re seeing here I have some prepped
Oats from beforehand and then you just add those stewed berries and apples and to make this really really nutritious filling and satisfying you can add a tablespoon of flax seeds on top which is what I did here add a tablespoon of nut butter for my husband I did sunflower
Seed butter and myself I always love peanut butter so if you have a drippy peanut butter or you can use powdered peanut butter with a little bit of water and drizzle it over and it’s just so soof so good you guys this is definitely
A recipe that I tend to enjoy more so in the fall and winter months when it’s really cold and you just want a nice warm breakfast to heat you up and it’s just so satisfying so a lot of people might not actually know this but oats
Have a lot more protein than you may have thought depending on if you use sprouted or non-s sprouted rolled oats they can give you up to 7even gram of protein per serving that’s quite considerable a quick tip that one of my subscribers recently just recommended to me about oats is that when you’re
Shopping for oats try your best to find ones that are organic as nonorganic oats contain higher levels of gly phosphates which are found in pesticides and they can contribute to poor gut health so if you are trying to improve your gut health definitely try to find ones that
Are organic if possible now moving on to my second o recipe we’ve got overnight outs and that is nothing new overnight outs are very popular they’ve been around for a while chances are you have probably already made overnight outs or you like to eat them on the what I have
Been really enjoying lately and more so in the warmer months as I find that overnight oats are a little bit more cooler and refreshing on you know warm summer mornings I really have been trying to up the protein of my overnight oats as much as possible because I want
A really satisfying filling meal so this recipe honestly shows you exactly how to do it and it shows you just how much protein you can get in a jar of overnight out so if you have sprouted rolled oats some cheese seeds flax seeds hemp seeds they all all have a
Considerable amount of protein as you can see here and if you’re going to add any Nut Butter you can just definitely add a little bit of extra protein in that regard and then add some cocoa powder add some cinnamon stir it all up until you have a well combined dry
Mixture and then you just got to add your liquid so soy milk has the most protein out of any other plant milk out there and if you want it to be a little sweeter a little more flavorful add some maple syrup Agave vanilla extract and that’s it you just added everything to a
Jar super simple you pop that in your fridge let it sit overnight and you have a cool refreshing breakfast that is waiting for you what is super awesome about overnight o especially if you make a jar that’s about the same size as in this video is that because it’s so
Filling you don’t have to finish it all in one go if you don’t have a huge appetite in the morning sometimes I just don’t maybe just eat half of it in the morning and save the other half for a postwork workout snack or as an afternoon snack when you’re feeling a
Little bit hungry so definitely give this one a try I love combining the chocolate nut butter flavors together it’s so so delicious and it almost feels like you’re eating dessert for breakfast but it is super healthy super nutritious and will totally give you all the nutrients and energy you need for a
Productive morning a great way to add more variety to your breakfast is to swap out the oatmeal for chia pudding the great thing about this recipe is that it only has to sit in your fridge for 45 minutes to an hour tops that’s all it needs to thicken up and become a
Pudding that means you can easily w whp it up in the morning as you’re waiting for your coffee to brew keep it in your fridge until you’re ready to leave the house and then basically by the time you arrive at work you have a breakfast that
Is ready to enjoy I’ve got two flavors for you guys one for the fruity lovers and one for the chocaholic the first flavor is peanut butter and Berry this is kind of a take on peanut butter and jam and it is honestly so good so nostalgic of like a PB&J sandwich but in
Chia pudding form so to start I always start with a base P of a plant milk I usually end up using soy and if you have some yogurt you can add that in to make it a little bit thicker and creamier and then basically you just kind of
Customize it from there if you want it to be a little extra sweet you can add some maple syrup a little bit of vanilla extract and then we’re just going to add in some frozen berries now this these can be any berries that you like I just happen to have blueberries and
Strawberries on hand but if you have black berries or a berry blend that’s totally fine and if you have fresh fruit and that’s all you have that’s also just fine as well basically you’re going to be blending it all up anyway so it doesn’t really matter now that you’ve
Blended up all those ingredients in the jar you’re just going to add a few tablespoons of chia seeds and that’s basically going to make the bulk of the pudding they’re so nutritious you guys they’re packed full of protein and nutrients and they just give you so much
Energy for the day plus they’re really good for gut health now if you want to be a little bit extra fancy like I did here which I am all for a little bit extra fancy you can spread some Nut Butter around the jar like I did there
And then you can pour your chia pudding right right inside so it gives this very pretty fancy looking effect and yeah that’s how I made this PEB and Berry chia pudding and then once it has uh soaked up after about an hour you can top it with whatever you like you can
Use fresh fruit like the bananas I’m using here you can add seeds you can add nuts you can add more berries whatever you want add a little bit of extra nut butter on top and it is just so good and satisfying you guys it’s fruity it’s full of flavor and it’s really feeling
And then for all you chocolate lovers out there I also have this one on my channel that you can check out if you want I’ll I have it linked right up here for you it’s a peanut butter and chocolate overnight Nots which is so rich and creamy okay so we are switching
Up the base again to make these super high protein quinoa breakfast bowls my husband Brad actually created this recipe about seven or so years ago when he was competing in triathlons they are super filling super quick to whip up and they are very very delicious I recommend
That you guys organize some of your favorite ingredients into jars and keep them on your countertop in like a little breakfast bar or a breakfast Nook you can literally just go to your dollar store buy a few cheap little glass jars and then hit up the bulk section of your
Local grocery store and fill them up with your favorite nuts and seeds and dried fruit shred coconut basically whatever you think you would like and it will make your breakfast meal prep go so much smoother and it’s just like so fun to feel organized in that way I just
Think it’s a GameChanger for easy breakfast meal prep so a pro tip for these high protein quinoa bowls is to make a batch of quinoa like the before and let it sit in your fridge because this recipe calls for cooked quinoa and if you don’t want to have to go through
The process of cooking quinoa in the morning then definitely make it ahead of time now you just add pretty much whatever nuts and seeds you like I use flax and chia seeds and you can add Nut Butter I added some powdered peanut butter and really any other flavorings
You like that’s just the best thing about these kinds of bowls is that you use your favorite things to make it filling to make it satisfying to make it tasty and now I just added some plat milk and some liquid sweetener you can use really any kind that you like or
Skip the sweetener and then for any extra protein you can add hemp seeds you can add more nuts and seeds you can even like stir in some protein powder if you are trying to get some more gains and you work out a lot and to make this a
Very balanced meal of course add in some healthy fats like coconut or you can even add avocado on top or you can add more nuts and seeds or seed butter and then add a little bit of fresh fruits for some healthy carbs and you have a super super delicious satisfying meal
Again these come together in literally 5 minutes if you already have your quinoa prepped and ready to go and especially if you have your little breakfast nook set up you are golden and these quinoa bowls are going to totally game change your breakfast if you are an on the-go
Kind of person plus they’re super easy to prep so you can bring them to work with you if you don’t have time to eat breakfast at home yes waffles can absolutely be a healthy plant-based and gluten-free breakfast option instead of using flour and butter and eggs and
Maple syrup you can make a few very simple adjustments to turn this into a healthy high protein high fiber breakfast I would have to say that lentil waffles are pretty much now my favorite go-to weekend breakfast I would probably take them even over banana oat
Pancakes which I do have a recipe for on the channel right here or you can check it out down here these lentil waffles just have a lot more protein than the average flower based waffle and they really fill you up they’re so satisfying and they’re so easy to make you guys by
Topping them with your favorite nut and Seed Butters and some extra healthy nuts on top and fruit you have a protein packed satisfying waffle that will blow any other waffle out of the park that you have ever tried so let’s just get right into the recipe you guys basically
You only need a handful of very simple ingredients you’re going to need something to blend in like a blender you can use a hand blender like mine here but you’re basically going to soak your lentils in some plant milk overnight with a few extra little things like
Vanilla mle dates for sweetness or you could use maple syrup if you don’t have dates a little bit of salt and then you’re just going to mix that all up and refrigerate it overnight or if you’re going to make this for a brunch you can always soak it in your fridge earlier in
The morning and let it soak for about 3 hours and that should be pretty good in the morning is when I like to add my flavorings like cinnamon and then you add some baking powder make sure you only add the baking powder in the morning before you blend it now just
Blend it until it’s a smooth thick batter like so and you’re pretty much ready to make a waffle now all you have to do is lightly oil your waffle iron and start pouring your new battern usually this recipe gives me about two fairly large waffles one for me one for
Brad and they only take about 8 to 10 minutes to cook so if you happen to have a double waffle iron which I wish I had you have two breakfasts ready in like 10 minutes poor Brad and I have to wait 10 minutes each for our waffles cuz I only
Have a single waffle iron sad face by the way did I mention how how crispy and crunchy these waffles are they’re out of this world you guys they’re so flipping good top them with your favorite fresh fruit a little bit of maple syrup or you can skip the maple syrup and make it
Even healthier with some drippy nut or seed butter like almond butter or tahini or peanut butter and you guys this is so so good I honestly I just I wish I could eat these every single day I mean I could but you know I like other things too just because you’re eating
Plant-based does not mean that you have to eliminate that classic breakfast that I’m sure we all grew up with I’m talking about bacon eggs sausages hash browns all that yummy stuff you can have it all but we’re going to make it healthier and we’re going to make it with way less
Cholesterol by making it PL based and gluten-free I make a variation of this classic breakfast every week or so and you can make it even healthier than what is in this video by swapping out the sauage with a healthier lower fat option like tofu or soy curls or rice paper
Bacon which is a recipe that will be hitting the channel very soon so if you’re interested in some vegan bacon make sure that you subscribe below so you don’t miss out on that upcoming video very exciting this is a super super filling breakfast you guys and I
Would say everything that you see here is meal prep friendly sometimes I do prefer to swap out the hash browns with crispy airfried potatoes and oh my gosh if you have leftover potatoes from like dinner the night before and you reair fry them in the morning they become even
Crispier and they are so so good if you haven’t done that do it do it right now okay so let’s just quickly start by going over a very simple tofu scramble recipe that you can make to replace good oldfashioned scrambled eggs all right so to make a very basic and simple tofu
Scramble you’re going to crumble up either some extra firm or firm tofu or a combination of both and then you’re going to add some turmeric to give it a nice kind of eggy color some garlic powder is always nice salt pepper and then what’s going to make your eggs or
Your tofu scramble taste like eggs is what’s called cinac or black salt it kind of has like a sulfuric flavor and smell and then to give it a slightly cheesy and savory flavor you’re just going to add a little bit of nutritional yeast which if you haven’t heard of
Before it’s basically the vegan gold of all things plant-based because it kind of adds this cheesy flavor to really anything you add it to in this situation I served up tofu scramble with some of those you know the dehydrated hash browns you can get from Costco so good
So lazy but so good and then I made this you know little veggie Skillet with some bell peppers and corn I’m pretty sure I used some fajita spices to make it taste you know like a fajita is so good I just love this classic vegan breakfast and it’s just so much healthier than
Probably what we all grew up with this is balanced you’ve got some healthy carbs protein you’ve got a little bit of fat in there and oh it’s just so good you guys and I just encourage you guys to give this a try this one requires a
Little bit more effort it’s a little bit more involved but like I said before it’s pretty meal prep friendly so you can make large batches of the tofu scramble and you know sauteed veggies or air fried potatoes and you pretty much have breakfast for a day or so if you
Make large batches ahead of time which is something that Brad and I do actually quite a lot it’s actually what Brad and I had for breakfast this morning and yesterday morning the power of meal prep you guys there you go my friends there are six easy plant-based gluten-free
High protein breakfast that I eat pretty much every week if you enjoyed this video I would so appreciate if you gave it a big like and consider subscribing below for more videos like this on your homepage every single week I post at least twice a week sometimes more and I
