Breakfast ideas

Judi, I don't mix my cereal with my yogurt.... I eat them seperate. I have really been enjoying eating dry cereal, more than just the special K... Have to be careful though not to get one too high in calories. Yes the yogurt I eat is a Canadian made one according to the package. Just look in your reg grocery store for a Fat free, no sugar added brand, There are tons out there. Sillouette is also another one. Only 35 calories per individual cup. But they also come in bulk containers as well. I found the slim down bars online..looks like you may be able to order them...but they are a Canadian made product.... www.slimdown.ca The ones I eat are the Golden Honey and Yogurt Cereal bar (which is what I call a granola bar) and the other as a treat..but not often is the triple layer Almond Coconut bar. Both have 150 calories but you get 15 g of protein. They are post op friendly but I wouldnt eat them with wild abondon. There are other flavours of a chocolate like bar in addition to the almosn coconut but I didnt like them...they tasted to much like carob to me. and had more calories and less protein.... Becky

Work days I usually have a protein drink (6 oz skim milk and 1 scoop of 27-gram protein powder). Of course, this is preceeded by 4-6 shots of espresso (2-3 on the drive to work and the rest at my desk). I like the protein drink because I don't have to wait to drink it after I finish coffee. If I've been industrious and cooked a bunch ahead of time, I might have a hard boiled egg. I'm not cooking! Weekends will be the same usually or if I do feel like cooking, I'll have an omelet with chopped turkey sausage or turkey bacon, goat or feta cheese, green pepper, and tomatoes. Boring, right? I figure boring is better than not eating breakfast.

i'm with you on the no cooking! i need to push the protein drinks again. boring is fine, it obviously works, look at you!

I'm pretty boring for breakfast. I generally have a protein bar or cottage cheese and peaches or pears or substitute the cottage cheese for string cheese. I have from time to time wrapped deli turkey or ham around the string cheese for added protein. I miss my eggs.....*pout*. Pam

I just drink a slim fast every morning ........ low carb, creamy milk chocolate. It's the closest thing to milk I can tolerate and it tastes like a nice cold glass of chocolate milk (to me anyway). It takes me about 30 minutes or so to drink that and sometimes I'll take a banana with me to work and have that too. Mornings are too chaotic to actually cook something..... but weekends, if I actually feel like breakfast food, its scrambled eggs with grated cheese. MelT
