Boring looks but tasty treat

Today's breakfast looked boring on the plate but it was oh so tasty! I scrambled 3 egg whites with a pinch of salt and a laughing cow light wedge cheese. I had a side of turkey bacon with it. Great way to start the day!

Breakfast Sandwich

For breakfast this morning I made a simple breakfast sandwich. It consisted of: 1 whole wheat sandwich thin, 2 turkey bacon, and 3 egg whites. With a side of banana =D

Strawberry French Toast

Nothing better on a Sunday Morning than French Toast. I was feeling creative today so I decided to try and make my own syrup! It was so easy to do and turned out yummy.

To make the strawberry syrup, I put about 1 1/2 cups of water in a pot. I added 4 packs of Splenda and 6 large strawberries. I turned the stove on high and let it boil away. In about 20 minutes it was syrupy with just a few small chunks of strawberries left so I took it off the stove, put it in a bowl, and set it in the fridge to cool while I fixed the french toast.

To make the french toast I added 3 egg whites, a dash of skim milk, and a dash of cinnamon in a bowl and stirred it up. I took half of a sandwich thin, dipped it in the egg mixture, and cooked it in no calorie spray in a skillet. When it was done, I cooked the other half.

To assemble the dish I put the french toast on the bottom, coated it with half the syrup, added a ton of Cool Whip Free, the rest of the syrup, and 3 sliced strawberries to the top.

Delicious!!

This version has only 275 calories!!

Loaded Yogurt Part 2

This morning for breakfast I fixed myself a big bowl of loaded yogurt. Of course =D To my bowl today I added:

1 Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla Yogurt

2 Jumbo Strawberries

1/2 Banana

1 90 Calorie Oatmeal Raisen Granola Bar

1 100 calorie Reese's Snackster Package

Strawberry Granola Waffles

I had a carb craving this morning so I decided to make some waffles. I toasted 2 NutriGrain waffles, topped them with Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla yogurt, sliced strawberries, and a 90 calorie chocolate granola bar. Yum-o!!!

Running Late = Quick Breakfast

This morning I was running late so I had to throw together a quick breakfast!! I just used:

1 Sandwich Thin

2 tbsp Natural Peanut Butter

2 large Strawberries

1/2 banana

and made me a couple of open face sandwiches! It was quick and tasty!! Peanut butter always fills my belly!

Chocolate Pancakes

What's better on a Saturday morning than yummy pancakes?!? So this morning I decided to whip up a batch of protein pancakes. To make the pancakes I used:

1/3 cup oatmeal

4 egg whites

1 scoop 100 calorie chocolate protein powder

1/2 banana

Blend the protein, oatmeal, egg whites, and banana in a bowl. Make sure the banana gets smashed and mixed in evenly. You can add a touch of Splenda and Cinnamon for some extra sweetness. Cook in a skillet with cooking oil like regular pancakes. Makes approx. 4 pancakes

I topped my pancakes with a container of Dannon Light and Fit Vanilla Yogurt and sliced, fresh strawberries.

Total Calories for the pancakes: 268

Total Calories w/ yogurt and strawberries: 369

In comparison, 4 chocolate chip pancakes from IHOP without syrup or extras is 900 calories!! (according to myfitnesspal.com)

Apple Granola Oatmeal

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. I still haven't been to the store so my meals have been pretty boring. Today's breakfast was simple:

Dannon Light & Fit Strawberry Yogurt

Small Apple

Chocolate Chunk 90 Calorie Granola Bar

Mix all together and enjoy

Strawberry Banana Waffles

Waffle Wednesday!! I made strawberry banana waffles today. I used:

2 Nutri-grain waffles

1 Light and Fit Strawberry Banana Yogurt

1 Banana

I toasted the waffles until they were nice and crispy. Then I cut up the banana and sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on it. I toasted it in the toaster oven. Then I layered the waffle, yogurt, and bananas on top. Yum!

Apple Cinnamon Waffles Take 2!

This morning I made apple cinnamon waffles again, just a little different. This time I used:

2 nutri grain waffles

1 medium red apple

2 tbsp fat free cream cheese

1 tbsp unsweetened applesauce

I toasted the waffles until they were crispy. This is important so they don't get soggy (unless you like soggy!). Then I chopped up the apple, sprinkled cinnamon and splenda on it, and heated it in the microwave for 3 minutes. I spread 1 tbsp of fat free cream cheese on each waffle and topped it with apples. I topped the whole thing off with a big tbsp of unsweetened applesauce.

This was like eating a decadent dessert at a restaurant! Very good and my belly fills happy and full.

By the way, this version is 332 calories. Yesterdays version was 278 calories

Cinnamon Apple Waffles

What a great way to start off a Monday. With a big stack of waffles! I chopped an apple, topped it with splenda and cinnamon and heated the pieces up in the microwave for 3 minutes. I toasted 2 Nutri-grain waffles. When everything was done I put it all together: a waffle, a smearing of Dannon Light and Fit Vanilla yogurt, and topped it with apples. Then repeat! So easy and yummy!

Happy Monday!

Steak n Eggs

1 Thomas Bagel Thin

1 Fried Egg in 0 calorie veggie spray

1oz Tyson Seasoned Steak Strips

= 1 great tasting, filling breakfast sandwich!!

Sweet Breakfast

I had a sweet tooth this morning for breakfast. I toasted two Nutri grain waffles and top them with a container of Dannon Light and Fit 60 calorie vanilla yogurt. I took a few strawberries and heated them up in the microwave for a little bit of syrup. Topped the waffles with the strawberries and ate up. A yummy, sweet breakfast!

Breakfast 3/1

Breakfast today was a great way to start off Monday. I had a Thomas 110 Calorie wheat bagel, toasted, with 1 tbsp fat free cream cheese. With it I enjoyed a bowl of fruit: pineapple, grapes, and canteloupe. Yummy start to the day!!

Thomas Bagel Thins

I LOVE a good bagel in the morning for breakfast. I came across these last night in the grocery store. I found them in the deli section. The whole bagel is only 110 calories! I got the whole wheat brand.

I made a bagel this morning for breakfast with banana and peanut butter. I love peanut butter in the morning. It seems to fill you up all day.

Here are the nutrition facts for the bagels from the Thomas website:

Morning Sweat and Randomness

In keeping with my SWEAT MORE mantra for the week, I woke up this morning, put on some warm clothes, and jumped on the treadmill. After warming up I set it on the highest incline and started walking. I walked on the incline for 25 minutes. Felt like a great workout. For breakfast I was craving an unusual combo of foods. I cut a Flatout wrap into triangle "chip" shapes, sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on them, and baked them in the oven. With that I had a banana, a grapefruit, and a Babybel light cheese wedge. Strange but it was yummy and my tummy is good and full!!

Bowl Full O Goodness

After 30 minutes on the treadmill this morning I fixed myself a big bowl of yummy goodness for breakfast. Something about oatmeal and peanut butter in the morning sticks with me all day. I cooked 1/2 cup oats in 1 cup almond milk. Topped it off with 1/2 banana, 1 tbsp peanut butter, and 1/2 apple pie Larabar. Great start to the day!

Breakfast 2/15

Breakfast today consisted of: 1/2 cup Fiber One Cereal, 1 cup skim milk, 1/2 organic banana, 1 tablespoon organic natural peanut butter. (Yes I am a closet McD's plate collector. I eat on them everyday and they make me smile =) and Yes I eat my cereal in a Pyrex measuring cup, so easy to measure and not dirty a bunch of dishes)
