Need new breakfast ideas!
I try to keep my breakfast high protein and under 350 calories... would love to hear some suggestions. I am allergic to nuts... so only peanut butter for me.
Most mornings I have Fage with 1/3 cup of Kashi Go Lean Crunch... and an iced coffee. I am so over it.
TIA!
Re: Need new breakfast ideas!
How about some eggs? Do you have time to cook them in the mornings? You could make an egg sandwich. Egg, whole wheat english muffin or toast and a slice of cheese is a pretty healthy and filling breakfast. If you don't have time to make this, maybe you could take hard boiled eggs with you.
Or how about making your own protein smoothie? You can mix up the ingredients to make different ones so that you don't get bored.
Or whole wheat toast or an english muffin with some peanut butter spread on it.
I personally have a bowl of cereal w/ skim milk, a banana and coffee almost every morning. The cereal is the "healthy" kind, usually Kashi, but I try to buy several kinds so I can switch them up.
I do a lot of egg white/reduced fat pepperjack cheese/100 cal english muffin sandwiches. They're usually about 200 calories so plenty of calories left for banana or apple and peanutbutter or turn the iced coffee into a coffee blend with protein powder or something.
I also have an emergency stash of boiled eggs, string cheese and almonds (not an option here obviously) for mornings when NOTHING is going right.
I got this recipie from Marksdailyapple.com. It sounds weird but they are really yummy! You take a hardboiled egg and wrap it in sausage and then cook in in a frying pan until the sausage is cooked.
I make a big batch of these on Sunday and my DH and I eat them through the week for a quick breakfast. They are good cold or hot imo.

Love your Portland Shamrock shirt! ;-)
I haven't read the other comments, but I try to keep my calories in the same range. I do oatmeal, & add the fruit to steam & get a little soft (I dice pear, apple, etc) & I add peanut butter for protein. Perhaps you could stir in some Greek yogurt, since that's not an option?
Other favorites - dice part of a red/bell pepper, & sautee it briefly with spinach, mushrooms, whatever you have. Add an egg, and a sprinkle of cheese. Serve on a whole wheat English muffin.
I also like protein smoothies (protein powder, banana, milk or water, ice, etc).
I do the english muffin sandwich a lot too. Whole wheat muffin toasted, either a cooked egg (I have one of those mini skillets that cooks one egg to just the right size) and a little cheese, or a veggie sausage patty with either some cheese or a few avocado slices.
Or a magic bullet protein powder fruit smoothie.
Or a Clif bar and/or an apple if I'm really just running out the door.
