The Perfect High-Protein Breakfast Bars

The Perfect High-Protein Breakfast Bars? Sorry, but there isn’t one.

Let us explain.

Here’s the thing: you can’t turn dessert into breakfast just by packing it with protein. No matter how many grams of protein a bar or cookie boasts, they fall short of being a satisfying, balanced meal.

Your stomach has stretch receptors that rely on the weight and volume of food to signal fullness—not just the macros. Bars or muffins are fine as occasional snacks, but they’re no substitute for a meal. They won’t regulate your blood sugar or keep you satisfied throughout your day.

Our wholefood breakfast recipes provide the balance, nutrients, and portion your body truly needs. Try our recipe for Blueberry + Banana Baked Oats—each serve contains 30g of protein in a satisfying portion that keeps you full, stabilises blood sugar, and supports a healthy metabolism.
