You could be on a low-carb or keto diet and proteins are the one thing you have started worshipping of late. Or you may be opting for more proteins after seeing your nutritionist. In any case, we don't expect every protein-rich diet to force us into eating eggs or meat. You can wrap your head around this complex maze of diets by choosing protein-rich oats, tofu, quinoa or spinach. Even old-school chickpeas can help you with an eggless breakfast laden with protein. Here are some recipes that will help you:
