If you’re a vegetarian struggling to complete your protein intake for the day, this is just for you. Without sneaking in whey, here’s how you can make yourself a protein-rich breakfast every morning.

Cheela

Be it besan or moong dal cheela, most variants have a high protein content.

Tofu Scramble

Instead of egg bhurji, 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.

Parfait

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