Sweet tooth in the mornings

Chocolate pb2 and cottage cheese. Lots of protein and less fat than reg peanut butter. I do greek yogurt the voskos is really good and add cottage cheese to that too for more protein. I have found that if i dont start my day with too much sweet it keeps me from craving it all day. I was really having a problem with coffee creamers and finally just gave them up. The bars are good but they dont hold me over as well as the yogurt cotrage cheese combo.0

Low-fat Eggo nutri-grain waffle with 1/2 C fresh strawberries and lite Reddi Whip on top. It's 109 calories and tastes like strawberry shortcake.0

Greek yogurt, 1 TBSP of chia seeds, and 1/8c chopped walnuts. Approx: 320 Calories, 16 g Protein, and 7 g of Fiber Keeps me full all morning!
Also, there are recipes online for banana protein muffins and they are amazing.0 -
Girl, I know the feeling. Sometimes I wake up and feel as if I could happily devour 5 chocolate bars.
Instead I add a tablespoon of nutella to my porridge. Only 100 calories bam. :bigsmile:
Or if I'm feeling extra chocolatey I add 2. 450ish calories for breakfast as I use almond milk and I don't need chocolate for the rest of the day.
Stops me from turning into mental chocolate woman later. Success. :drinker:0 -
it may not be the healthiest, but I buy a chocolate chocolate chip muffin mix and put applesauce in it instead of oil, egg whites instead of whole eggs or..
I eat a cereal like Special K chocolate almond or strawberry and use coconut milk-it really helps0 -
I didn't read the other comments, so I hope this isn't a duplicate. I have a MAJOR sweet tooth & love chocolate and peanut butter everything. So I eat this every morning and it actually keeps me full for hours (I had it at 8am this morning and ate lunch at 2:30).
1 cup coconut milk (I sometimes use almond milk instead, which is 30 calories)--80 calories
1/2 tbsp chia seeds--30 calories
Handful of spinach or kale--5-15 calories depending on exact amount
2 tbsp chocolate PB2--45 calories
1 scoop Optimum Nutrition Natural Chocolate Whey Protein Powder--130 calories
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder--20 calories
1/2 tsp xanthan gum--5 calories (you can omit this, I just use it so it's super thick and eat it with a spoon instead of drinking it...makes me feel fuller)
10 ice cubes
Blend it all up really well and then I pour into a bowl and eat with a spoon. With the amount of spinach I used today, it came out to 315 calories and it makes a lot.0 -
I've been starting my days with a big fruit smoothie with some protein powder.
4oz water
4oz juice (I generally use plain Orange juice)
a small to medium banana (I cut them up when ripe and freeze them, makes the smoothie nice and creamy)
3/4 to 1 scoop of protein powder (17-25g protein, 120-150 calories)
1/2 cup frozen fruit
It comes out to 375 to 450 calories each time, but it takes me long enough to drink and fills me up until lunch (3-4 hours!). The protein powder is key. I just use the Target Market Pantry brand, but I've heard of tons of good ones and it looks like there are lots of them listed in the comments here already.0 -
Kroger has both a chocolate and a vanilla Carbmaster milk with 11-12 g protein and the chocolate has 80 cals whereas vanilla has 60 cals. Fiber One makes a chocolate cereal for 80 calories. And there are good sweet flavors of Light N'Fit greek yogurt, 80 cals, 12 g protein.0

You are all so freakin' amazing! There are so many ideas here that I am definitely going to try. I think you've all saved me from my morning sweet tooth.
Thank you so much!0 -
I second Nutella Porridge! or Porridge with blueberries and maple syrup. And another great one is pancakes. I make a batch of these:http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/06/whole-wheat-pancakes.html#more and reheat in the mornings during the week and eat with berries, coconut flakes and maple syrup
or also these chocolate chip banana muffins:http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/01/petite-chocolate-chip-banana-bread.html I sometimes have one and a fruit topped yoghurt, or 2 if I really want something cakey! they freeze really well too.0 -
Porridge always fills me up and I love all the different flavourings I can use, pretty much anything sweet that I'm craving (as long as it;s just one calorie dense thing you add lol). My faves have been peanut butter and jam, chocolate (from chocolate or chocolate powders), peanut butter and chocolate... I also love vanilla soleil or chobani yogurt with my own flavourings!!0
