From oats poha to daliya upma, there are plenty of ways to fix your protein requirements without including eggs in your breakfast.
Made with lentils like moong dal, the Indian crepe aka chilla is a filling and high-protein breakfast. Pack in some slices of paneer and enjoy.
While upma is a South Indian breakfast usually made with sooji, a healthier and protein-rich alternative could be this daliya upma. Add your favourite veggies for crunch.
Slather your toast with some crunchy peanut butter. Top it with caramelized banana slices and your sweet breakfast is ready. Where’s the protein? In the bananas.
The traditional way to make poha is with beaten rice but you can substitute it with oats too. Rich in iron and protein, this oats poha will keep you full for longer.
Most lentils and peas are rich in protein. So making a quick chickpea salad could be breakfast now. Load up with greens and drizzle some lemon juice to finish.
