High Protein Breakfast

When you’re pregnant, every meal counts—not just for your energy and well-being, but also for your growing baby. This morning, I whipped up a high-protein breakfast that’s not only delicious but also packed with essential vitamins and nutrients to support a healthy pregnancy.

The Star of the Show: Ground Turkey Scramble

Protein is a key nutrient during pregnancy, helping with fetal growth and keeping your energy levels steady throughout the day. Ground turkey is an excellent lean protein source, and pairing it with vibrant veggies adds layers of flavor and essential vitamins.

What’s in My Scramble?

• Ground Turkey: Lean, protein-packed, and rich in iron, which helps prevent anemia during pregnancy.

• Portobello Mushrooms: Full of antioxidants and a good source of B vitamins for energy production.

• Corn: A sweet pop of flavor and a source of fiber and folate.

• Red Onions: Packed with antioxidants and add a tangy kick.

• Tomatoes: Loaded with vitamin C and lycopene for immune support.

• Avocado: Creamy and rich in healthy fats, folate, and potassium.

• Sour Cream: A touch of creaminess for flavor and a bit of calcium.

        • Chipotle Aioli: Smoky, slightly spicy, and irresistibly creamy—this topping takes the scramble to the next level

Why This Meal is Perfect for Pregnancy

This scramble isn’t just satisfying—it’s balanced. The mix of protein, healthy fats, fiber, and essential vitamins keeps blood sugar stable, supports digestion, and provides the nutrients your baby needs for development. Plus, it’s quick to make, which is always a win on busy mornings.

How I Made It

1. Cook the ground turkey in a skillet until browned.

2. Add chopped portobello mushrooms, red onions, and corn. Sauté until veggies are tender.

3. Stir in diced tomatoes and cook for another minute.

4. Serve with sliced avocado on top and a dollop of sour cream.
