Finding it hard to make a not-savoury high protein breakfast? These babies will fill you up for hours. A whopping 38g of protein per serve, 18g carbs, 19g fat. Not to mention plenty of calcium.

2 serves:

4 large eggs
230 g high protein cottage cheese
½ tbsp ground psyllium husks
1 pinch salt
20g vanilla protein powder (optional, adds 7g protein per serve - check your label to work out how much to add)
1 tbsp olive oil, for frying

TOPPING: 90g Greek Yogurt + 140g berries (I added a tablespoon of sugar free golden syrup to serve for extra sweetness 😋)

Mix into batter and let stand for a few minutes to thicken before frying in batches. Makes around 8 pancakes using 1/4 cup batter per pancake. 4 pancakes = 1 serve.

Keep leftovers in fridge or freezer and reheat as needed for a quick protein hit.

As we hit midlife and beyond, we actually need more protein in our diet as our bodies are less able to convert it into muscle and other biological components. For older adults, inadequate protein intake contributes to a decrease in bone strength, increased skin fragility, decreased immune function, poorer healing, and longer recuperation from illness.
