7 GLP-1 breakfast ideas

Knowing the right GLP-1 breakfast ideas can simplify your mornings. With a reduced appetite, changing taste preferences, and potential side effects, every bite matters—starting with breakfast. The good news? GLP-1-friendly breakfasts don’t have to be complicated or boring.

Veggie Sausage and Avocado Sandwich

Call this simple breakfast (or lunch!) sandwich "25 under 25," as it packs 25 grams of protein and comes together in under 25 minutes total. Loaded with egg, veggie sausage, and avocado, this sandwich delivers healthy fats and 9 grams of fiber to start your day on the right foot. Make a batch at the beginning of the week, then reheat for quick and filling breakfasts throughout the week.

Turkey Squash Hash

Forget potatoes, this hash relies on turkey for protein and squash for carbs. With its high water content, squash helps you stay hydrated and fills you up while providing fewer calories. Turkey provides lean protein to help you preserve muscle mass during weight loss. With 27.5 grams of protein per serving, this dish belongs in your GLP-1 breakfast ideas lineup.

Broccoli and Egg Casserole

This broccoli and egg casserole contains a secret ingredient. Can you guess? Cottage cheese! Cottage cheese punches up the protein content of this egg bake, so each serving delivers 26.8 grams. Plus, the extra calcium from cottage cheese supports bone health, which is important with weight loss, as it can contribute to reduced bone mineral density.

Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie

There’s no need to be concerned about the sugar content of this smoothie. Sweet potatoes and bananas provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals that benefit overall health and support carbohydrate metabolism. Plus, the 22 grams of protein per serving help keep blood sugar stable. However, if you’re watching your blood sugar closely, go for underripe bananas–they have higher resistant starch and less impact on glucose levels.

Yogurt with a Crunch

Elevate Greek yogurt with fresh pear, oats, walnuts, and sunflower seeds for a delightful, textured mix of fiber and heart-healthy fats that help keep you full and energized. Pears add fiber, while the seeds and nuts boost beneficial fats. At 22 grams of protein per portion, this yogurt creation is a smart choice for muscle health and steady morning energy.

Almond Butter and Banana Protein Smoothie

When it comes to GLP-1 breakfast ideas, smoothies are a quick lifesaver when solid foods don't sound tummy-friendly. This almond butter and banana protein smoothie's mild flavor is easy to sip, providing 21 grams of protein. That hefty dose ensures you meet your nutrient requirements even when not feeling 100 percent.

Kale and Cheese Omelet with Egg Substitute

Eggs are convenient and versatile, and egg substitutes are "egg"cellent high-protein options! This omelet pairs egg substitute with kale and mozzarella for a veggie-rich dish that delivers 20 grams of protein per serving.
