I usually have a sweet of some kind when I first get up with my coffee. I have tried for years to give it up but I finally "gave" up and just accepted it and work it into my day. I have been making oatmeal/banana/nut bars and have one of them every morning. If anyone wants the recipe let me know, you would not believe how easy they are. Then I will usually have an egg white omelette with red/yellow peppers, mushrooms, spinach, onions, broccoli, etc. etc topped with 1/8 cup of reduced fat colby jack cheese, some days I will have a 100 cal bread with it and a fruit. Yummy! Since I have been laid off (just like you Samantha) I will also make oatmeal with quick oats, blueberries, chopped apples, and cinnamon. I also try to eat every 3 hours.0

I mostly eat steel cut Irish Oatmeal with a little milk and sugar. I will also add in nuts, apples or raisins for variety

On workdays, a smoothie with kale, frozen blueberries or frozen raspberries, protein powder and ground flaxseed meal for the fiber and Omega-3. Tastes great and it's around 340 calories. On weekends, either wheat toast with peanut butter or an egg. I'll splurge and have a piece of bacon as well.0

Hi! Through the week when I work I have oatmeal and a banana and then about 9 am I have an apple. Oh and there is always black coffee with the breakfast. Weekends I have more time, so I tend to whip up an egg white omelet..0

Make sure you message me how you like them and if you used any variants! Always interested in new ideas. Sorry it too me so long but here is the basic recipe. This last time I added some of my protein powder to try to up the protein a lilttle bit and while it was good, it was a little bit drier than I liked and the bottom stuck to the pan. But, it was really tasty, nonetheless. My 17 year old daughter loves them with mini choc. chips and no nuts (allergy). I would think you could use many other variations, I was thinking about trying some chopped apple next time.I will post the recipe here today. I used the recipe creator to figure out the calories but they will change dependent upon what you put into yours.
Serves 8
2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats (not instant)
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup raisins or chopped dates (I love it with dates, seems to be sweeter)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 large ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (optional but I always use it)
1 tablespoon date sugar (optional and I have never used it)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix all the ingredients into a large bowl until well combined. Press into a 9x9 inch baking pan and bake for 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. When cool, cut into squares or bars.
However you decide to make them put it into the recipe creator to get your exact calories.0 -
Lot's of protein at breakfast for me. A protein shake of 1 c cold coffee, 1 c unsweetened almond milk, 2 scoops of eas whey protein powder either chocolate or vanilla, shake and enjoy. Sometimes I supplement with 2 egg whites + 1 whole egg scrambled. I spike 1 day/week so on that day I start off with a huge bowl of oatmeal w/ peanut butter and banana added in.0
