Mornings can be hectic, and as a busy mom, it’s easy to skip breakfast or grab something quick that doesn’t keep you full for long. But starting your day with a high-protein, Trim Healthy Mama (THM)-approved meal can make all the difference in your energy levels, cravings, and overall health.
The good news? Eating a balanced, protein-packed breakfast doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming! With a few simple ingredients and a little planning, you can fuel your body with delicious and budget-friendly meals that keep you satisfied and on plan.
In this post, I’ll share quick and affordable THM breakfasts that each contain at least 25 grams of protein, helping you stay energized and on track—without spending hours in the kitchen or breaking the bank. Whether you prefer a hearty Satisfying (S) breakfast full of healthy fats or an Energizing (E) breakfast packed with good carbs, these ideas will set you up for success.
