    I make protein pancakes. They are great for on the go and I make a batch at the beginning of the week and it is so easy.

    Recipe
    1 cup egg whites(500 g carton) -I usually double this recipe to make 16 pancakes.
    1 cup cottage cheese
    1 cup old fashioned oats
    2 mashed bananas
    cinnamon(I like LOTS of cinnamon!)

    This recipe makes 8 pancakes and they can be frozen but do lose some of their moisture.
    Mix and let stand for a day or so and then pour on well greased 9x13 jelly roll pan(this size pan if you are doubling-square pan if not). Bake for about 20-25 mins on 325 c. I usually put a tbsp. natural peanut butter on it and it keeps me full until my am snack. These are about 88 calories, 7 gr. protein(11 g. with the peanut butter) and only a couple grams of fat. I know the person who started the post doesn't like eggs but you can't even tell they are in there. I never get sick of this one!!!

    You could incorporate cottage cheese (low fat or nonfat if you prefer). I will occasionaly eat cottage cheese with sliced fruit (pineapple, grapes, strawberries, etc...anything you like) for breakfast or a snack.

    I eat Kashi as well. It's listed as: "Kashi - Go Lean (Naturally Sweetened Fiber Twigs, Soy Protein Grahams and Honey Puff), 1 Cup (52g/1.8 oz.) " in the food database. With a cup of skim milk...that's 21 grams of protein.

    This is a great discussion thread. Lots of great ideas for protien @ breakfast time.

    I also sometimes have 1/2 cup old fasioned oatmeal with a scoop of protein powder and some fruit.

    I also like 1 cup Kashi GoLean - it has 13 g protein - I use unsweetened almond milk or 1/2 cup stonyfield 0% plain yogurt with it.

    Almond Butter on multi grain cracker, toast etc...

    And smoothies are awesome - with a scoop of protein powder

    Every day for breakfast I have a scoop of vanilla protein powder, a cup of OJ and a half of banana all blended together in my magic bullet with a handful of ice! It is soooo yummy! It's about 21 g protein and 27 or so of carbs.

    I have this too but I also add in a 1/2 c of frozen raspberries - very good
