Breakfast doesn’t have to be difficult.
The one thing I ALWAYS teach the Rushe Fitness members is that they shouldn’t stress over food.
It’s not worth it in the long run.
The question that I get most, ALWAYS involves what to have for breakfast that is high in protein and tastes great.
People tend to get bored of eggs, but this is because they usually run out of ways to cook them.
Food should follow 3 rules.
It should be;
- Tasty
- Visually pleasing
- Leave you satisfied after.
Why then, do the majority of diets involve the complete opposite and the ones that try and follow the rules above are usually too high in calories?
It doesn’t make any sense to me.
So, I am going to give you 5 recipes that are really easy to make, are full of flavour and will make you want to use them over and over again.

THE RUSHE FITNESS ‘FRY UP’
The standard fry up is death on a plate and can come in at anything from 600 – 1200 calories.
This version is high in protein and lower in fat.
Ingredients:
- 1 Turkey sausages
- 1 slices of Turkey bacon
- 1 Poached Egg
- 1 TBSP sugar free baked beans
- 1/2 tomato
- 1 Portabello Mushroom Cap
- 1 slimbo.
Everything here is grilled, except for the beans and egg.
A usual fry up comes in at around,1000 calories in it and 69g of fat, when it is grilled.
This version comes in at 306 calories, 8g of fat and 23g of protein, which makes it a better option all around.
HIGH PROTEIN PORRIDGE OATS (Proats)
Porridge is a favourite in Ireland.
People rarely want to give it up when they are starting out on a program, but I like to get a serving of protein at every meal.
So, the compromise that we have it to make ‘Proats’.
Proats are basically oats with a scoop of protein added in.
You can add whatever flavour of protein you like, depending on your preference.
It couldn’t be easier to make either.
Ingredients;
- 40g oats
- 1 scoop protein
- Water
- Milk can be added after to thin it out if needed.
How you add the protein is dependent on preference also.
- Some prefer to add it after they make the porridge and stir it in.
- Some prefer to mix everything together and then make the Proats.
- Some add the protein to the porridge mix when it is almost cooked.
How you do it will depend on how you cook your oats and what is easiest for you.
This is really easy and ticks all the boxes for a good breakfast, especially on a training day.
These recipes have all come from and been created for my Rushe Fitness, members and it gives a great variety to their breakfasts.
Try them all out and let me know what you think of them.
