5 healthy breakfast options for weight loss with GLP-1

GLP-1 medications (such as semaglutide/tirzepatide) often help by reducing appetite and slowing gastric emptying. However, this can also mean you feel full sooner or experience nausea, constipation/diarrhea, or other digestive discomfort. That’s why the best breakfasts tend to be compact, high in protein, and gentle on the stomach.

In the blog below, we’ve listed a few simple and flavorful breakfast options that you can easily incorporate into your daily routine.

1. Skyr bowl with blueberries and chia seeds

2. High-protein overnight oats

3. 3-ingredient cottage cheese pancakes

4. Savory egg muffins with spinach & tomato

5. Whole-grain toast with avocado, salmon & cottage cheese

1) Skyr bowl with blueberries and chia seeds

Why this works with GLP-1: compact, high in protein, gentle on the stomach, and fiber-rich for satiety.

Ingredients (1 serving)

• 200 g skyr or low-fat Greek yogurt

• 100 g blueberries/strawberries (fresh or frozen)

• 1 tbsp chia seeds

• 1 tbsp oats (optional, for extra energy)

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tsp nut butter or 10 g chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

1. Stir the chia seeds into the skyr and let sit for 5 minutes.

2. Add the berries (let frozen berries thaw briefly).

3. Top with cinnamon and, if desired, nuts or nut butter.

Tip for nausea: skip the oats/nuts and stick to skyr + berries + chia.
Nutrition focus: approx. 25–35 g protein (depending on brand/portion size).
