I am 2 months out and need some Breakfast alternatives. I have been eating yogurt but find that it doesn't stay with me and I'm hungry an hour or two later. For some reason, eggs are not compatible with my sleeve; the first bite is like a cork-no matter how much I chew it first. I need something that is portable so I can take it to work. I have a Protein drink/bar (spilt up in the day) to supplement my protein, so need something different. Suggestions, please!!!

have you tried the protein mugcake?

i have one every morning with some sgar free syrup on top. to make it more breakfasty

Protein mug cake? Please tell me more!

theres a video i made here for it, lemme get it for you. I make them at work, all you need is a refrigerator for your creamer and a microwave.

unfortunately,

The video evidently is gone as i think the video section here was removed. and i dont have a copy of the video anymore. But let me explain.

You have to use a protein powder that had egg albumin in it.

We recommend , and I use Syntrax Matrix protein powders. The cookies and creme is the best. its a great base and you can mix with strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, banana if you like, version. But anyway its one scoop of protein powder ( although im in post weight loss, maintenance mode now so i do two scoops. And about 1/2 a teaspoon of baking powder, mix that up. then I add Coffee mate sugar free italian sweet creme , creamer, but you can use almond milk ot 1% milk if you wish, they all work fine.

Add enough liquid to make like a real thick cake batter, like between a cookie batter and a brownie batter. then microwave this for 45 to 50 seconds depending on how you like it, then remove and be careful it can be ho! but top with a squirt of sugar free syrup or any fruit you like, if you do that, etc and bingo. its not exactly a cake, it s like a cross between a cake and a bread pudding consistency. but people love it, Myself included and i literally have one every morning for breakfast as I think breakfast is the hardest meal to eat well.

you can experiment with it, but i think you'll really like it. and its easy on the sleeve , for sure. It helps with those old cravings of having donuts or danish or pancakes for breakfast.

Heres alink tot he store here for it, remember the protein powder has to have egg albumin in it to rise, otherwise it will be a brick lol

Thanks for the recipe. They were out of the one you linked but I ordered the 2.0 until they get the other in stock!

There's always ricotta pancakes, or for the savory days, beans & rice (for a complete complement of amino acids) with a bit of cheese and a dab of sour cream/hot sauce/ salsa/ enchilada sauce/ whatever.

I was going to recommend some unflavored GENEPRO, it has 30grams of protein in 1 Tablespoon. I add it to my ESPRESSO everyday. For myself I have never enjoyed breakfast (well maybe fried potatoes and eggs in my past life LOL) and I drink coffee all the time so for me it is a WIN WIN!! I noticed that you do supplement protein bars and drink thru out your day. This protein does keep me full. Just a thought. I sip on it all morning.

@Stevehud Thanks so much for the Mug Cake recipe. I tried it this morning and it was really good. I ate the full recipe (1 scoop of protein powder) and it made me kind of miserable. Still trying to learn to stop eating when full, although I need to stop before full!!!! Will try again tomorrow with 1/2 scoop.
