What do you normally have for breakfast?

I usually eat a Protein bar. I like the Think Thin and the Jim's Permalean Peanut Butter bars. The Think Thin has like 20g of Protein, and Jim's has 23g of protein. It holds me until lunch.

I used to eat Cereal for Breakfast, but it doesn't have much protein. I will sometimes eat that for supper, but not often.

I eat 3/4 cup of Nature's Path Organic banana & Almond Cereal, with 1/2 cup of almond milk. 243 calories, 43g carbs, 7g fat, 11g Protein. And very filling. :biggrin:

That's the bulk of my carb intake during the day.

Bambam,

Your smoothie sounds great! I can't wait to try it. I have just started soft foods so I have tried scrambled eggs, grits, oatmeal, and Protein shakes this week.

Hope you enjoy it! I have fresh strawberries in the house this week and have been using those instead of the frozen, but they do make the smoothie a little thinner (which is okay because I had a fill last week and the thicker smoothie was even slow going the first few days).

I have never been a big breakfast eater, but with the band, I try to put something in my mouth. Plus I am also tighter in the morning and have very little appetite. My staples are either a shake similar to the other poster's--non fat milk, 2 scoops of vanilla Protein Shake, Crystal light orange sunrise, frozen bananas and strawberries, or a quesadilla made with southwestern egg beater, fat-free cheese, and low-carb wheat tortillas or roll it up for a burrito (I add turkey bacon sometimes), and lately this Protein Bar I get at Wal-mart by Meta-Rx--the big 100--it has 32g of Protein. They have more carbs than I like so I usually eat one when I am really in a hurry, but it is huge and I sometimes do not finish it--I am not hungry until lunch time. I also do Greek Yogurt or Carbmaster yogurt and string cheese wrapped with some ham or turkey. Whatever I eat I try to get in 25-40 grams of protein in so that at other meals, I do not have to concentrate on the protein first and can eat more veggies and fruit and whole grains.
