Normally I have oatmeal with some fruit or some wholegrain toast with peanut butter but i'm getting a bit bored with that now.I've heard about overnight refrigerator oats,they sound good! Anybody tried them?
I'm looking for recipes high in protein and good fats if possible.In this weather I just don't want hot oatmeal everyday!
Thanks

I'm all about my protein smoothies for breakfast! I even put oats in them, sometimes. Here's a good one:
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 banana (or 1/2, personal preference!)
1 cup coconut milk
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/4 cup of rolled oats (optional)
mix it up and you're good to go that's about 350-400 calories and it keeps me going easily until lunch time! I mix up the fruit all the time, so I don't get bored.0 -
Oh that sounds really good:) thanks i'll have to try that.I've got lots of fruit to use up!0

Protein smoothies are great or I often cook an egg, a couple slices of canadian bacon and sandwich between a toasted english muffin. Only takes 5 minutes and I can eat it on my drive in.0
-
I eat an egg on a mini tortilla that is really high in fiber and use one tablespoon of hard ramano cheese ( and a little hot sauce) it's really good and fast.0

My Dr had me kick the carb loaded oatmeal for 2 eggs and spinach. Worked for me.0

If you like the more traditional breakfasty type foods you can do something like eggs packed with veggies! and if you need more flavour I sometimes add Parmesan or salsa or avocado!
Also with my oat meal sometimes I add maple syrup
Or I love having pizza or spaghetti or a sandwich!0 -
ohhhh this sounds great, think I will give it a try!!!0

2 pieces of Ezekial Bread
3 oz. lean turkey
Lettuce
Tomato
1 whole egg
3 egg whites
salsa
w/ apple
Ultimate Brekfast Sandwich!
Good fats with fairly low carb, also good sugar from the apple to get your day going.0 -
I sometimes have greek yogurt which is high in protein, and some berries and seeds:) I think I feel best though if I have eggs and veggies!0

I make a bacon egg avocado in a high fiber tortilla wrap for breakfast0

Here is my breakfast meal replacement!
1 Cup of Water
1/2 Cup of Raw Oats
1/2 Cup of Cottage Cheese 2%
2 Tble Spoons of PB Natural
1 Scoop of your favorite Chocolate Protein "I use Pro 24 Bodytech"
3-5 Ice cubs and blend
If you want a natural one
1 Cup of Hood Chocolate Low Cal Milk
1/2 Cup of Raw Oats
1/2 Cup of Cottage Cheese 2%
2 Tble Spoons of PB Natural
3-5 Ice cubs and blend
This one is fruit based one:
4 - 8 Oz of Water or vanilla soymilk
1/2 Cup of Frozen dole Fruit mix
1/4 Cup of Frozen Blueberries
1/2 Cup of your favorite Greek Yogurt
1 Scoop of a Vanilla Protein or Strawberry Protein
sometimes I add two tble spoons of sliced almonds to this
blend no ice cubes needed because of the frozen fruit
add spinach and/or banana to any of these if you like0 -
Nature Valley bars are low cal and filling. I eat them several times a week.0
-
Dumb question perhaps but have you tried changing up the oatmeal by adding cinnamon? It made me fall in love with the stuff all over again.0
-
Hi,
Depending on how many cal you allow yourself for breakfast, 2% cottage cheese and fruit, is high in protein and tastes good, not for everyday but would be a nice change in the rotation.0 -
Green Monster Smoothie
1 Cup Almond/Soy/Coconut Milk
1 TBSP Peanut Butter
Serving of Protein Powder
As Much Spinach as you can stuff in your chopper machine
1 banana
Put in in that order and blend. Then when mixed thoroughly add several ice cubes and chop again. It's my weekday go to, or if I'm in a hurry I lose the spinach and the coconut milk and add coffee to the mix. It's a 2 for 1 deal.0 -
My main week day breakfasts are :
- Oatmeal
- 2 eggs and toast
- an microwave omelet (I pre-cut the veggies in my magic bullet and use a bit of Parmesan cheese)
- greek yogurt and fruit.
- Nutrigrain Waffles w/ peanut butter and fruit
On the weekend I may do
- Spinach and Eggs Baked in tomato cups (http://www.recipesfrommymom.com/2011/06/egg-and-spinach-baked-in-tomatocup.html?showComment=1309370755596#c1292243935862895852)
- Eggs in a hole - using PAM instead of butter (http://pinchmysalt.com/valentines-day-breakfast-idea-heart-shaped-egg-in-a-nest/)
Or if I'm making brunch...
-Egg Boat - I sub fat-free plain coffee creamer for the heavy cream (http://pinchmysalt.com/valentines-day-breakfast-idea-heart-shaped-egg-in-a-nest/)
Did I mention that I like breakfast?0 -

This... I add flaxseed to it. I have to try adding oats sometime. Another variation., banana and avacado with almond milk, flaxseed and protein powder. Yummm0 -
Superchikanth- Good idea i definitely think i'm going to try more savory options for breakfast as eating sweet things all the time sometimes makes me crave sugar a bit more.
auria17 -I have some cottage cheese in the fridge.I'm just getting used to the taste haha,I'll have to try that.
taliesyn_- I put cinnamon in my oatmeal once but I think i put a bit too much in! i'm going to try it again though maybe with some PB.
Thanks for your ideas everyone0 -
I do a meal replacement shake in the morning, it fills me up and 2 hours later i have my first snack of the day.
Here are a couple that i do (i have tons of healthy recipes):
- 8-10oz of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- 2 scoops of of nutrient-rich protein powder (I use Vi Nutritional Shake Mix).
- 1 tsp of cinnamon
- 8-10oz of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- 2 scoops of of nutrient-rich protein powder (I use Vi Nutritional Shake Mix).
- 2 tbs of PB
Fat-Burning Coffee Shake
- In a blender, mix ½ cup of Unsweetened Almond milk or Cold Water (you can add more or less water depending on the consistency you prefer).
- Add 2 scoops of nutrient-rich protein powder (I use Vi-Nutritional Shake Mix).
- Add 1 tsp of granulated instant coffee
- Gradually add 5 ice cubes to thicken.
- Blend on high for one minute (in a pinch, this shake can also be made by simply mixing ingredients together in a glass with a spoon).
Drink yourself skinny! :happy:0
