Editing How to Add Protein to Breakfast (section)

=== High-Fiber, High-Protein Breakfast Ideas ===
If you’re aiming to increase fiber intake while keeping protein high (for digestive health, heart health, or sustained fullness), you can combine protein foods with fiber-rich ingredients. Many high-protein breakfasts can be tweaked to also be high-fiber:

* '''Add Fruits and Vegetables:''' Pairing protein with produce ups the fiber. For example, have berries (high fiber) with your Greek yogurt, or spinach and peppers in your egg scramble. A '''yogurt parfait with berries and chia seeds''' provides protein from yogurt and fiber from the fruit and seeds (chia seeds are very high in fiber). An apple or pear diced into cottage cheese is another fiber+protein duo.
* '''Include Whole Grains/High-Fiber Carbs:''' If your diet allows grains, choose whole grains which have more fiber. A slice of whole-grain or sprouted bread (~3–5 g fiber) with peanut butter (protein + some fiber) makes a more fiber-rich choice than white toast. Oatmeal or quinoa at breakfast offers fiber; cook them with milk or add nuts to also get protein. '''Quinoa breakfast bowls''' are a great example – quinoa is a high-protein grain and also has fiber, and you can add fruit or nuts to boost fiber further (High-Protein Breakfasts for Vegetarians and Vegans).
* '''Legumes and Seeds:''' As mentioned, beans bring both protein and fiber. Even a small portion of beans with eggs or in a breakfast burrito increases fiber. Lentils or chickpeas can be used in breakfast hashes with sweet potato or greens to pack a fiber punch. And don’t forget seeds like flax, chia, and hemp – these are all high in fiber (and healthy fats) while contributing a few grams of protein as well. Stir ground flax or chia into yogurt or smoothies for an easy fiber boost.
* '''High-Fiber Smoothies:''' Blend whole fruits and even vegetables into your protein smoothies. Berries, kiwi, or a bit of avocado can add fiber. You can also add a spoon of oats or cooked lentils to a smoothie (the flavors are easily masked by fruit or cocoa) for extra fiber. One example is a berry smoothie that balances all macronutrients: it includes protein (yogurt or protein powder), healthy fat (maybe almond butter), and fiber-rich berries and flaxseed, resulting in a drink that keeps you satisfied (12 High-Protein Breakfasts Ready in 5 Minutes).

By consciously including fiber-rich foods alongside protein (like vegetables, fruits, and whole grains), you ensure your high-protein breakfast is also gut-friendly and filling. This combination is ideal for weight management and overall health.
