3 High-Protein Breakfasts for GLP-1 Success

Written By

If you’re using GLP-1 medications, getting your day off to a strong start matters. T
hese breakfasts are designed to support appetite regulation, steady blood sugar, satiety, lean muscle preservation, and easy digestion.


Each recipe is high in protein, includes fiber or healthy fat, and keeps carbs moderate.
They’re simple enough to prep ahead when your mornings are busy.

Greek Yogurt Power Bowl

Ingredients (serves 1):

  • 1.5 cups nonfat Greek yogurt (~340g)

  • ½ cup fresh blueberries (~74g)

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (~12g)

  • 1 tbsp almond butter (~16g)

Instructions:

  1. Spoon the Greek yogurt into a bowl.

  2. Wash and pat dry blueberries, then top yogurt.

  3. Sprinkle chia seeds over the top for fiber and texture.

  4. Drizzle almond butter over or swirl it gently into the bowl.

  5. Eat immediately; you can make ahead by prepping the blueberry and almond butter portion and storing cold.

Nutrition per serving (approximate):

Why it’s good for GLP-1 clients:

  • High protein increases satiety (helps with appetite suppression)

  • Fiber from blueberries and chia helps slow glucose absorption and supports gut health

  • Healthy fat (almond butter) supports sustained energy, helps avoid spikes then crashes

  • Nonfat Greek yogurt gives protein without too much saturated fat, keeping the calories reasonable



Egg & Veggie Scramble

Ingredients (serves 1):

  • 2 whole eggs + 2 egg whites

  • ½ cup chopped spinach

  • ¼ cup chopped mushrooms

  • 1 tsp olive oil or cooking spray

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • One slice of whole-grain toast

Instructions:

  1. Wash and chop spinach and mushrooms.

  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium, add olive oil or spray.

  3. Sauté mushrooms ~2-3 minutes until soft. Add spinach; cook until wilted (1-2 minutes).

  4. In a bowl, whisk together eggs & egg whites, then pour into skillet. Scramble with veggies until cooked through. Season.

  5. Toast the whole-grain bread. Plate scramble + toast.

Nutrition estimate (approximate):

  • Calories: ~350-400 kcal

  • Protein: ~25-30 g

  • Fat: ~18-22 g (depending on how much oil & yolks)

  • Carbs: ~25-30 g (mostly from toast + small amount from veggies)

  • Fiber: ~3-5 g

Why it works for GLP-1 clients:

  • Lean protein (eggs) + egg whites support muscle and help you feel full longer

  • Vegetables add fiber without many carbs, slowing digestion and blood sugar rise

  • Whole grain toast gives complex carbs, necessary energy, but in controlled amount

  • Healthy fats help with absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and contribute to satiety



Cottage Cheese Protein Pancakes

Ingredients (makes ~4 pancakes, serves 1):

  • ½ cup cottage cheese (low-fat)

  • 2 eggs

  • ¼ cup oat flour (or oats blended)

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • A pinch of salt

  • Optional: cinnamon, berries for topping

Instructions:

  1. Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, vanilla, salt until smooth.

  2. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat, spray lightly.

  3. Pour batter in small rounds (¼ cup each). Cook ~2-3 min per side until golden.

  4. Serve topped with berries or a light drizzle of natural sweetener if desired.

Nutrition estimate (per serving):

  • Calories: ~320-350 kcal

  • Protein: ~25-28 g

  • Fat: ~10-12 g

  • Carbs: ~30-35 g (from oat flour + berries)

  • Fiber: ~4-5 g

Why good for GLP-1 clients:

  • High protein supports lean mass, aids appetite control

  • Using oat flour gives slower digesting carbs, better glycemic control

  • Low to moderate fats; avoids heavy saturated fats that may interfere with energy levels

  • Flexible toppings allow sweetness without overdoing sugar
