Strawberries and Cream High Protein Breakfast
Every morning should start off with a proper breakfast that will help you stay on track all day like this strawberries and cream high protein breakfast.
It’s day 2 of my week of giveaways to celebrate my 30th!! Let’s get right into the recipe and giveaway. I have really grown to love protein shakes as long as I can blend it up with ice and make it thick. Cade doesn’t care how it’s made, he just guzzles the stuff. Protein is such an essential part of weight loss and maintaining muscle and I’d say most women and many men miss out on it. For a while there I thought that protein would make someone gain weight unless they were working out crazy hard in the gym, but I was totally wrong. The only problem is, now that I’m sold on the stuff I need new ways to get it into me because I get bored pretty quickly with the same old recipes. This is a strawberries and cream high protein breakfast that’s perfect to get in your protein in a way that will fill you up and still taste like something totally different than the normal protein shake. Or you could always make some protein crepes if you’re feeling a little crazy.
So let’s get you all entered into the giveaway and then make sure you pin this delicious breakfast! And make sure to visit all of the bloggers posting a giveaway to help me celebrate, Something Swanky, Taste and Tell, Favorite Family Recipes, Centercut Cook, Sweet Treats and More, Rachel Cooks, The Crafting Chicks, Or So She Says, Creme De La Crumb.
A huge thank you to WÜSTHOF, Anolon and Microplane for making this all possible!!

Ok, back to breakfast. I’m always totally shocked that so many people skip breakfast. I know some don’t like to eat in the morning, others say it gives them a tummy ache, but really it is such an important meal. It’s all about getting in some great nutrition so you aren’t starving by lunch, thus making you over eat and your metabolism go all crazy.
So whether you’re looking to lose weight, maintain weight or even just put on a little more tone and muscle the secret really does start with a great breakfast and this strawberries and cream oatmeal is heart healthy, totally delicious and full of protein thanks to a little vanilla protein powder.

I cook just about every night.
I try to cook every night when I’m not working!
I love adding protein powder to my oatmeal! It keeps me full for so much longer!
Define “cooking” from home… 🙂 But I definitely chop, cut, saute, mix, stir, fry or bake something or other at least once every day, if not every meal!
I try to cook at home at least once a day… but honestly, there are days that just doesn’t work out.

We cook at home about five days a week.
I cook at home everyday.
I cook from home daily, I actually cook three times a day plus snacks, I am a stay at home mom and I like to try and cook my own food because I know whats in it, plus I get to add extra things like veggies or fruit to my food for my picky toddler. 🙂
i cook 5 days a week!!! the weekend we just go out or with our family!!
I cook at home about 5-6 times a week (almost everyday). Mexican food is my kind of thing to cook, but my partner loves it when I cook something different every onve in a while. My son he loves loves strawberries and I mean loves strawberries so this recipe is a must to try! Thank you so much 🙂
I try and cook at home most days of the week. There is just something so fulfilling about cooking/eating at home!
I cook about 5 times a week. When I don’t cook, I usually help my mom in the kitchen.
About 4-5 times a week
I usually cook at least 5 nights a week!
I am training for a figure competiotion right now so I eat at home six times a day, every day!
You’re a genius…this looks delicious. Adding to my rep this week. And I cook when the people get hungry, which is pretty perpetual ;).
We try at least 4-5 nights per week but it doesn’t always happen d/t busy schedules!
I cook 5 days a week. This oatmeal looks amazing!!
I love to cook and cook every day, but need a really good knife set!
Oh, I would love a good knife set!
Oh, I would love a good knife set! I use them multiple times a day, and it would be such a blessing!
At least 2 times a day.
Several times a day. 🙂
My family and I cook at home everyday (although we do eat out once in a while). Personally, I prefer to cook at home because it’s so fun to cook with family!
I cook dinner about 4 times a week. I like to take packed lunches and easy breakfasts at home, too.
We only go out to eat once a week so we cook at home almost every breakfast, lunch and dinner. Almost everything we have is made from scratch – bread, pasta, sauces, cheese, sausage, etc.
I cook from home every night. It’s a great way to keep track of what my family is eating (no weird chemicals), keep us eating healthy, and save money!
I cook almost every night, pack my kids’ lunches, and slack a bit for breakfast (I use frozen stuff or cold cereal). We only eat out once a week on average. Thanks for giveaway!
I cook at home all the time. Husband travels a lot & doesn’t want to go out when he’s here. Happy Birthday! You are one gorgeous 30 year old & to me you are just a young pup.
I cook 6 our of 7 days and on the 7th we have leftovers or I heat up a pre-made meal but we never really eat out.
at least 4x a week if not more
I love oatmeal and I agree that it can get boring. This is just the pick-me-up I need! Thank you.
All of are meals…can’t really afford to eat out often, and when we do, we’re always disappointed.
We cook at least six of seven nights a week.
My boyfriend loves to cook so its almost every night that we do.
Yum
I cook dinner for my boyfriend and I almost every night of the week. I’d say we go out maybe once on average–sometimes more, sometimes less.
I’ve also recently started doing lunch meal prep on Sundays so that I don’t have to worry about not having anything to eat at work. It’s saving me a ton of money, and I’ve barely started!
I cook at home every-other night. And the nights I don’t cook are because I’m eating leftovers.
I try to make at least one HUGE meal Sunday night so I can eat it for lunches and dinners during the week and then I scatter other home-cooked meals inbetween so I don’t get sick of eating the same thing every day.
I can’t skip breakfast either. I’m actually really into rolled oats right now too so I’ll have to try this!
I like the California Toad in a Hole better!
I cook every night for dinner. Its family time. We eat out on Birthdays and special occasions. The easiest is the slow cooker or freezer meals planned in advance.
I grocery shop Sundays and plan my meals for the week I cook at least 6 days a week sometimes all 7:)
I only cook once a week, but “supervise” my 2 kids on their nights for dinner (which entails doing prep, shopping, advising etc etc)
