Favorite Breakfast Foods



Recommended Posts

So when it comes to Breakfast, I'm looking for quick, easy, "clean" and loaded with Protein. I used to do a Pure Protein Bars, but am looking for a cleaner option with similar amount of protein (20grams)

Any suggestions would be great!

Greek yogurt with a few fresh berries on top. Occasionally I'll add a half a scoop of Protein powder to my yogurt to bump up the Protein even more

I do yogurt or eggs a lot, but those don't have all the Protein you want. You could always eat the non traditional Breakfast foods like fish, chicken, etc

I have a "real food" Protein packed breakfast I love:

I tend to omit the arugula, but I usually do about 3/4 cup of the lentil mixture and one egg. This gives you about 225 calories and 21 grams of Protein.< /p>

To me, it has a similar to taste to Huevos Rancheros.

I buy the grilled chicken from Trader Joe's and just chop up 3 ounces in the morning. 90 calories, 0 carbs, 19 grams of Protein and it takes under 2 minutes to prepare. Hard to beat.

I eat deli turkey (2 oz) wrapped around a piece of low-fat cheddar and fruit (usually 1/4 cup blackberries and 1/4 cup blueberries but sometimes some apple slices). If I have time (and depending on my food plans for the day), I add a piece of whole grain toast. Every once in a while I will try the yogurt, but I seem to be not as satisfied, so it is not my usual go to.

Depending on how early I eat that day, I will have a Premier Protein for a morning snack (a couple of hours after breakfast).

I am always out the door B4 breakfast so must make and carry mine with me.

For quick gathering, I enjoy some mornings to have Cottage cheese with fruit and stevia, or even cheese for a more savory taste.

The mornings I go the gym B4 work and breakfast, I make and pack Protein shakes, and with all the different varieties I can think up to get Protein and carbs at right levels.

My favorite breakfast is oatmeal made with Water. Cook 3/4 cups of dry oatmeal with 1 1/4 cup of skim milk. Add 1 chopped apple and 1/4 cup of brazil nuts. Sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with honey. Total: 24 grams of Protein. Brazil nuts are rich in Proteins, dietary Fiber and fat. They are good for heart and skin health, as well as cancer prevention. https://wikihomenutrition.com/brazil-nuts-health-benefits/

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
