The above image sums up my feeling for eggs ("Blech, poison!"), so I've had to get creative to keep variety in our breakfast here, since cold cereal is not an option I offer C (except Kashi Autumn Wheat every now and then). I remember many years ago, when my brother was born and my parents were at the hospital, I stayed with my Uncle Tony and Aunt JoAnn for a couple of days. I remember sitting down to breakfast the first morning I was there and my aunt was serving up eggs. In my almost-4 year old voice I nicely told my aunt, "I don't eat eggs" to which my uncle replied "you do now." We can look back and laugh on that now, but at the time, I thought is was torture to have to eat an egg. Sorry Uncle Tony, I still rarely eat them, and C is not a big fan of them either. Oh, and the image above is not mine- I came across it here.
So what's a girl to do for some lean protein? I can stomach a smoothie! For those who prefer a lighter breakfast that still packs a protein punch, here's a Banana Smoothie I enjoy. Blend the following ingredients:
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 1/2 cup non -fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 scoop Designer Whey protein powder (natural vanilla)
- 1 small organic banana (fresh)
- 1/4 teaspoon honey
Blend, pour, and enjoy over 20 grams of protein, plus a good dose of calcium, to get your day started.
