5 easy high-protein breakfasts for office goers

When you're short on time but need something filling, besan chilla is one of the easiest options. Made from gram flour, it packs a decent amount of protein and can be prepared in minutes.

Pair it with a bowl of curd for an extra protein boost. You can also add chopped onions, tomatoes, spinach, or capsicum to make it more satisfying and nutritious.

Most people think of paneer as a lunch or dinner ingredient, but it can make an excellent breakfast too. A quick paneer bhurji served on whole-wheat toast delivers protein, keeps you full for longer, and is easy to prepare before work.

You can even make the bhurji the night before and simply reheat it in the morning.

If you're looking for a breakfast that requires very little cooking, sprouts are hard to beat. Mix boiled moong sprouts with onions, tomatoes, cucumber, lemon juice, and a few spices.

The result is a light yet protein-rich meal that's especially useful during hot Indian summers when heavy breakfasts may feel unappealing.

Eggs remain one of the most convenient protein sources for busy professionals. Instead of having plain boiled eggs every day, wrap egg bhurji inside a chapati and turn it into a portable breakfast roll.

It's easy to eat on the go and can keep hunger away until lunchtime.

For people who barely have time to cook in the morning, overnight oats can be a lifesaver. Simply soak oats in milk before going to bed and add almonds, peanuts, seeds, or a spoonful of peanut butter.By morning, breakfast is ready to eat. The combination of protein, fibre, and healthy fats helps provide steady energy through the first half of the workday.
