The standard American breakfast

What comes to mind when you think of quick, convenient breakfast options? A bowl of cereal, toast, bagels, granola bars? Maybe nothing at all? It can be difficult to find a healthy, high-protein breakfast without planning ahead.

On average, American adults consume enough total protein throughout the day, about 82 grams, however timing is a factor most people do not consider. We tend to eat most of our protein in the evening, about 2 1/2 times the amount compared to breakfast!

NHANES or the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey started in the 1960s and is conducted by the CDC. The survey examines the health and nutrition status of adults and children in the United States. NHANES collects data through physical examination and personal interviews.

According to the most recent NHANES survey, adults over the age of 20 consume 17% of their daily protein at breakfast compared to 43% consumed at dinner. Lunch makes up for 27% of daily protein on average, and snacks 13%.

To amp up your next breakfast, pair one or two Kodiak Cakes muffins with a hard-boiled egg or Greek yogurt and fruit. This hearty, protein-packed breakfast will keep you feeling energized and ready to take on whatever the day brings!

How many calories in a blueberry muffin?

While muffins make an absolutely scrumptious breakfast, they typically miss the bill in terms of nutrient density. High in calories and added sugar and low in protein and other vital nutrients, muffins are at the bottom of the totem pole for healthy breakfast options.

The calories in a Costco blueberry muffin, for example, are estimated at more than 600 calories per muffin. Additionally, each Costco muffin packs about 40 grams of added sugar and more than 30 grams of fat per serving! Wowza!

You can get the same amount of protein, about 7-8 grams per muffin for one-fourth the calories with this Kodiak Cakes blueberry muffin recipe. This recipe uses Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle mix^ which I adore very much.

I share why I love Kodiak Cakes, the nutrition facts, and more in my Oven-Baked Kodiak Cakes Pancake Recipe post – another convenient high-protein breakfast option.
