PLEASE can someone find me another yummy breakfast item besides eggs.

I can't handle anything more with eggs in it - no quiche cups, no omlettes, no hard boiled.

Is there anyway to fudge pancakes or waffles with prteoin powder that would be phase 1 approved?

i like breakfast foods and miss them (like toast, waffles etc)

i have been diligent but i get bored eating dinner items for breakfast and i'm sick of eggs

is there anything else to help me?

this is just a hare-brained idea, but you could try "potato" pancakes (latkes), made with leftover SB surprise mashed potatoes (cauliflower). Form the "mashed potatoes" into little patties, sauté them in a little olive oil. Make some pseudo sour cream from nonfat plain yogurt w/ a little mayo mixed in. You can mix in some onion or chive to the "potatoes", too.

Nonfat yogurt, sweetened with splenda, flavored (vanilla, cinammon, cocoa?) nuts on top.

I don't know of anything that is going to replicate waffles very well, except maybe a meringue (made from whipped egg whites and baked).

hth a bit,

first: You'll make it!

I just want to share my egg situation,not that it will help. I used to hate eggs so much, I mean I was going to gag if I ate one more. I began making them for hubby every morning back in Sept. when he began SBD. I couldn't hardly stand to make them anymore! I loved toast with PB, that is all I wanted. (or cereal or waffles or donuts....see a refined carb trend here?). Anyway, after MONTHS of scrambling and enduring I now LOVE eggs for bkfst and really don't know what else I would rather have. Somewhere between Sept and Feb (probably due to finally doing SBD whole heartedly in Jan), I began to really need and want that protein for bkfst. When we are out and I can have anything on the menu, I want eggs.

I just wanted to share because I used to hate eggs SO much, too.

I read on this board that some people eat their yogurt for bkfst.

In Phase 2 you can make the pancake recipe:


Oatmeal Pancake (P2- from South Beach Diet book)
1/2 c old-fashioned oatmeal (uncooked)
1/4 c low-fat cottage cheese (or tofu)
4 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Process all together in blender until smooth. Spray non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Add the batter and cook over medium heat until both sides are lightly browned.


Here is a Phase 1 "french toast" recipe:


French Toast SBD Style (Phase 1)

4 whole eggs + 4 egg whites
1 cup low fat or fat-free ricotta
1 T vanilla
1 T cinnamon
Dash nutmeg
4 pkt. Splenda

Beat all ingredients and pour into an 8x8 baking dish sprayed w/ Pam. Bake at 325 degrees F for 30 minutes. I top mine w/ a little extra Splenda or sugar-free pancake syrup. Enjoy!


Hope these help!
