Protein for Breakfast

I go with a protein shake and a glass of milk (soy milk in my case). It's a high protein (17g) low sugar (1 net carb) shake and I can just mix it and go. I drink it on the way to work and it keeps me full until time for morning snack.

Bumping for later. I'm going to post 2 recipes for you in a bit. One is a protein pancake that can be mixed the night before and cooked in the morning. The other is a roasted asparagus and leek egg muffin variation. Both do beautifully for blood sugar problems.

GReek Yogurt!!! Add some fruit, granola,agave/honey

I have to agree. There are things I eat because they are good for me or meets a need - turmeric, kale in smoothie, etc- I throw things in a smoothie that aren't necessarily delicious because it is an efficient way to get the nutrition that I want. But I have plenty of opportunities to eat things that I LOVE. But these days I tend to choose what is good for me and what fits within my nutritional and dietary needs over what tastes magnificent, although often they are the same thing : )

Some on gets it.
I'm not saying every meal has to be miserable, but you have to be willing to do something you don't like to reach long term goals.
I hate a lot of my diet. There's times when I'd much rather be eating pizza than having green beans and chicken. And there's days when I don't feel like drinking a half gallon of whole milk or downing a pound of beef in one sitting. But when my training is great that week, I know it's because I was doing everything possible to make it that way.
It's called sacrifice.

I make egg muffins for the week and the heat it up and walk out the door eating it. On Sunday afternoon, I scramble about a dozen eggs and then fill prepared LARGE muffin tins with the egg, bacon and cheddar cheese. Bake in the oven for 30min. Pull out let them cool and put in the refrigerator. Take them out in the morning as needed. It's about 2 eggs/ muffin plus the added protein from the bacon and the cheese. You can change it up with what ever you like. I have also done spinach and mushroom. It's quick, gluten free and full of healthy protein.

*singing* Peannnut, Peanut Butter and Jelly!

LOL!

No, but really, I do peanut butter for protein. You can buy the sugar free, organic, au natural kind. I am a BIG PB fan, so I might be a little biased.

******Crystal Farm's Liquid Egg Whties....I never thought I'd like this...four every 1/3 cup you get 10g of Protein...you can pour it into a fruit smoothie...

Ok so here is a list of solid protein on the go:

Pure Protein Bars...(Best protein per calories) IMO

Cottage Cheese (/Best natural source of slow digesting protein)

Scoop of Whey protein...( I have a shaker and I pour a scoop of soy or whey into 8 to 10 oz's of whater) and you have roughly 25g of protein)

Greek Yogurt (11 - 14g of protein)

Boil Egg whites the night before

Bake Chicken breast the night before (yes I will eat chicken breast anytime of the day)

Soy Burgers (microwave for 2 mins)

Make a Arnold's double protein Bread toasted egg white omlete with fetta cheese the night before. (I bag that and hit in the microwave the next morning for a breakfast sandwhich) Very Good


I guess that's a start

I love homemade protein smoothies...why not change it up with different fruits? I make mine with Fat-free milk, ice, Splenda, a scoop of Isopure protein powder for 110 cals and 21 grams of protein, and throw in whatever fruit I have.

I put protein powder in my oatmeal when I am not having egg whites.

I get at least 30g of protein for breakfast. cook something for the week and freeze it or portion it out and put it in the fridge, or even just cook it the night before and heat it up in the am. have a protein shake in the am -- these are super quick and easy. I always put beans (black beans and/or white kidney beans) and canned pumpkin in mine so they are even healthier -- you can also add some spinach. These are pretty easy to cover up - meaning you don't feel like you're eating a bean or spinach shake. You can also throw in some dry instant coffee if you like coffee and need the caffein. I make my boyfriend protein infused muffins -- which means I take a muffin mix (I like the krusteaz fat free) and mix in two scoops of vanilla protein powder, bake muffins on the smaller side or make a loaf, and send two muffins with him to work. I'll make a couple batches at a time and freeze them, and then just take a couple out of the freezer the night before and put in the fridge for him so he can grab on the way to work. Also do the same with eggs - hard boil some, put two in a zip loc baggie and send them to work with him.
