Vegetarians can struggle to find sources of protein to complete their nutritional needs. If you are a vegetarian, here are some high-protein vegetarian breakfast options you must try.

Cheela

Be it besan ka cheela, or moong dal cheela (lentils), every cheela has a high protein content.

Parfait

Since yoghurt is an impeccable source of protein, you can make a parfait by adding fruits, nuts, and seeds.

Tofu Scramble

Instead of egg scramble, you can make tofu scramble, which is, too, an excellent source of protein.

Quinoa Bowl

Quinoa is a complete protein food that contains all nine amino acids. Mix in sautéed vegetables and lemon juice.

Smoothie

Blend soy powder, banana, yoghurt, milk, and other chopped fruits and nuts to make a healthy smoothie.
