Ingredients

3 large eggs

4 egg whites

1/2 cup cottage cheese

2 oz smoked salmon

1/2 avocado, sliced

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 scoop protein powder (optional for higher protein)

1 tablespoon almond butter

1/2 cup mixed berries

1 slice whole-grain toast

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

1. Whisk the eggs and egg whites together in a bowl until fully combined.

2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with oil.

3. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring continuously.

4. Add cottage cheese during the final minute of cooking and stir until creamy.

5. Season with salt and black pepper.

6. Plate the scrambled eggs and top with smoked salmon and avocado slices.

7. In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt with protein powder until smooth.

8. Top yogurt with almond butter and mixed berries.

Notes

Use only egg whites if you want to reduce fat and increase protein ratio.

Add spinach or mushrooms to the scramble for extra fiber.

Replace salmon with grilled chicken for variety.

Double the protein powder in yogurt to reach 50g+ protein easily.
