When we want to eat more filling protein at breakfast, most of us usually default to eggs. But some mornings are just too crazy for breaking out a frying pan and spatula (and who wants to do all those extra dishes?!). Luckily, eggs aren't the end-all be-all of high protein breakfasts. Start your day with one of these easy, satisfying meals instead.
