So it's not an allergy or any medical reason, but I cannot eat eggs. The taste of them really really turns me off. Ive tried it all, scrambled, easy over, sunnyside, poached, tried them in sandwiches, with a quiche. I pick the eggs out of potato salad, etc. etc.
I know they are great for protein and an excellent start to the day. So what can i use as an alternative?
suggestions?
Thanks

I like Chobani yogurt. It has the most protein in a 6 oz serving of most yogurts on the market.0

i have cottage cheese, low fat and low sodium, half a cup has 90 calories and 12 grams of protein0

This right here. Buy the no fat version!0 -
What are you trying to replace? Protein? There are still a million foods you can eat besides eggs. Meat, nuts, beans, dairy...0

Who says it has to be a " breakfast" food? Sometimes I just don't feel like eggs haha so I'll have chicken, turkey, or tilapia.0

I grab a protien bar alot of times, If I feel llike a treat I will have a carnation instant breakfast with a cup of fresh strawberries and a small banana,0

I'm with the other girl...Chobani yogurt is the BEST if you're looking to start your day with protein. Personally, I feel you should really start your day with carbs as well so if you're going the yogurt route, mix in some granola.
Also, never discount the benefits of a GOOD quality cereal or oatmeal. A nice bowl of steel cut oats with cinnamon and stevia and fresh fruit is great and super filling and nutritious. I also often go for Ezekiel cereal or a Kashi High Fiber/High Protein mix with unsweetened almond milk. All three have a great fiber/carb/protein mix that keeps me full for hours and gives me tons of energy. I actually rarely eat eggs unless I'm craving them so it's not the end of the world!0 -
I'm anti-egg, too! I don't have any allergies - I just choose not to eat them because I find them vile... and vaguely creepy.
For breakfast, I like steel cut oatmeal with dried cherries, walnuts and a splash of vanilla. When it's hot outside, I switch to smoothies made with non-fat yogurt and a mix of fruit. If I need more protein, mozzarella string cheese or a tablespoon of peanut butter on apple slices.0 -
I DO have the allergy. Quite severe actually but I eat oats the rolled or steel cut, scrambled tofu, vegan pancakes/waffles...as a substitut(in baking and stuff) flax seed is great0
-
I usually eat cream of wheat, cream of rice, or grits. I find that hot cereals stay with me for much longer anyway.0
-
Any of the Kashi Go Lean cereals are good for breakfast protein. Optimum Gold Protein Powder has lots of protein.0

Thanks everyone for your suggestions
Awesome variety out there!!!
Cheers
