When it comes to food, I’ll try anything at least once. I’m not a picky eater, and although I love great food, I’m down-to-earth enough to realize that not every meal needs to be earth-shatteringly delicious. Sometimes we just need to eat — and whatever food is around will do the trick.

One thing I really try and stay away from, though, is protein powder. For starters, I don’t like the taste. Whey protein tastes funky to me, and every plant-based protein powder I’ve ever tried is chalky and gritty. Even mixed with tons of other ingredients in a smoothie or some kind of baked good, I can pick out the distinct, not-so-great taste (and sometimes texture) of protein powder.

If you’re like me and just don’t like the taste of powdered protein, here are six easy ways to add protein to breakfast instead, beyond just opting for standard eggs. All pack around 20 grams of protein — about as much as a serving of protein powder — to help fuel you through the morning.

(Note: What constitutes “enough protein” varies from person to person, but the USDA recommends 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight, which for a 150-pound woman works out to 55 grams per day.)
