Low(er) Sugar Grab & Go Breakfast Options

loved1

I'm trying to come up with a list of lower sugar breakfast options that don't require any prep time. Right now, I'm coming up with:

Fruit, yogurt, and instant oatmeal which are OK, but I would prefer options with a little less sugar as my first meal of the day. Suggestions?

You could try hard boild eggs.

Im_NotPerfect

Boiled egg and ready made bacon
Make an home made egg mc muffin (only takes about 5 minutes to make and you can take it with you)
Baked oatmeal muffins

THIS REQUIRES A LITTLE ADVANCED PREP TIME BUT NOT MUCH. YOU CAN MAKE A BATCH FOR THE WEEK. i'VE POSTED THE ORIGINAL RECIPE AND MY VERSION. ORIGINAL IS MICROWAVED BUT I LIKE IT BETTER BAKED. IT IS ALOT LIKE A REAL MUFFIN FOR SOMETHING LOW CARB/ LOW SUGAR.

BOTH RECIPIES MAKE ONE MUFFIN. I QUADRUPLE FOR FOUR LARGE MUFFINS.

MY VERSION:

FLAX PROTEIN MUFFIN PREP 15MIN
BAKED 15MIN
Ingredients

1 serving 2 tbsp bob's red mill organic ground brown flax
1/2 serving 1/2 scoop (14g) gnc unflavored protein
1 serving 1tbsp smart balance light
1 large egg
1/2 tsp baking powder

Directions

One Minute Muffin ALTERNATE VERSION
1/8 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 SCOOP UNFLAVORED PROTEIN
1/2 t baking powder
[optional 1/4 t cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, plus 1 t splenda]
1 T butter
1 large egg

Melt the butter in a small microwave container (I use a 10 ounce pyrex thing).
Mix the dry stuff.
Crack the egg into the cooled butter and mix with a fork - stir it up really good.
Add the dry stuff, blend until well mixed.
BAKE IN LARGE MUFFIN TIN SPRAYED WITH NO STICK SPRAY FOR 15 MINUTES.


MY VERSION USES SMART BALANCE LIGHT IN PLACE OF BUTTER.

ORIGINAL RECIPE:

FROM SOMETHING I POSTED TO ANOTHER SITE:

I found this on the gluten free board of low carbfriends.com. I made a savory version with a little onion powder, garlic powder, and dried parsley. It was pretty good but I had to toast it as It was a little too moist to the touch for my taste.

The calorie count is higher than I would like but the high fat content works if you need a higher fat ketogenic diet as I do. It has 11.6g protein and just 2.4g net carbs. It is more filling than I expected so the calories are worthwhile. With lean meat and/or cheese it would work well for a sandwich or even a burger.

If you try it let us know what you think.

One Minute Muffin

1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 t baking powder
[optional 1/4 t cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, plus 1 t splenda]
1 T butter
1 large egg

Melt the butter in a small microwave container (I use a 10 ounce pyrex thing). Mix the dry stuff. Crack the egg into the butter and mix with a fork - stir it up really good. Add the dry stuff, blend until well mixed. Put it in the microwave for ONE MINUTE - hence the name.

Eat steaming hot... or let it cool a bit. Good as a sandwich, good with cheese inside, good cut in half with an egg in it, you get the idea.

Keep the yogurt and oatmeal, just make sure the yogurt is plain yogurt-- no added sugar-- and the oatmeal should be the same.

The plain yogurt will still seem to have high sugar, but that is naturally present in the dairy. If it's too tart for you, get full-fat yogurt, that will help until you get used to it.
