In lieu of the avian flu outbreak in the United States, there has been a major egg shortage in the country. If you need to have your fix of proteins in the morning, here are 5 recommendations to give you a high-protein breakfast to get you through the day.

According to Everyday Health, the price of a dozen of eggs has become pricier as 46 million chicken and turkeys have been killed by the avian flu. The breakfast staple may not become abundantly available soon as it may take years for the egg and poultry industry to recover which suggests that egg prices won't drop back soon.

To make up for lack of eggs, you can compensate and gather protein from a number of sources that are just as good and if not, healthier. Here are 5 high-protein breakfast recipes that you can easily make in the morning.

1.) Strawberries 'n cream bowl

Chia seeds are a major source of healthy proteins and fats and are a great substitute for eggs. This is especially good news for those watching their weight and those who need extra energy to get through the day. This recipe from Hello Natural is effortless and easy to make as it is literally a smoothie in a bowl and all you need to do is have the ingredients and blend it with a blender. In addition to chia seeds, it is also loaded with omega-3 fatty acids via flaxseeds, so you not only have protein, fiber, iron and antioxidants; you also have heart-healthy omega-3s.

2.) Freezer-friendly green & tofu scramble wraps

The secret to this recipe from Oh My Veggies is nutritional yeast. According to the author, nutritional yeast tastes like cheese and contains protein and vitamin B12. You can buy this ingredient in your local grocery store or online. However, if you don't have it, you can always put cheese instead. The great thing about this recipe is you can make it an advance so you can reheat it for an early breakfast or have it for lunch or even dinner as well.

3.) Savory tempeh breakfast sandwiches

4.) Homemade banana peanut butter granola bars

How about breakfast you can grab on the go? This recipe from Spoon University will give you the difficult choice of leaving some to eat the bars on the go for or munching it directly after it has left the oven. The ingredients can be substituted according to preference and if you have decided not to eat it all in one sitting, you can store the bars in an airtight container which can last up to a week.

5.) Healthy edamame sweet potato hash

This protein-packed recipe from Apple of My Eye is filled with an interesting mix of flavors and textures. It is also rich in vitamins B6, C and D because it contains sweet potatoes.
