So I’m currently engaged in completing the Shaun T Insanity workout which, for those of you
Ingredients for my high protein breakfastwho know, is seriously intense. I do the school run first thing, come home and do my workout straight away. I have found that a high protein breakfast makes an amazing difference, however, it’s kind of hard to find a high protein breakfast that isn’t the ‘same old same old’, doesn’t involve lots of fat or isn’t high in calories so I ransacked the cupboards and found this lot, threw it together and voila!!!

  • Half a tin of kidney beans (100g)
  • Half a tin of chopped tomatos (200g)
  • 1 large egg
  • 60g cooked chicken breast
  • 1 good splash of lime juice
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp  smoked paprika
  • Bunch of finely chopped coriander stalks
  • Wholemeal pitta bread

High protein breakfast method

  1. Mash the kidney beans with a potato masher
  2. Break up the cooked chicken so it’s in small pieces
  3. Heat a non-stick pan and scramble the egg until it’s scrambled but still a bit runny
  4. Throw in the kidney beans and chicken breast, mix up well and cook for a couple of minutes
  5. Slowly add the tomato’s and mix in
  6. Dampen the pitta and put it under the grill
  7. Add the lime juice, chili powder, coriander stalks and paprika and cook for another couple of minutes
  8. Fill the pitta and serve
