Re: Low Points Breakfast?????

[Guest guest]

Denial, Wild Oats has a great bread called " Ezekiel Bread " . It's made from

sprouted grains and because of the fiber one slice has 1 point. I just love the

raisin bread and consider it a vital part to my being able to stay OP. I have

it with 1 T of lite pb in the afternoon as a snack, but you could put 1 T of

brummel and brown on it and it would then be a 2 point breakfast.

Denial-

Sounds to me like you need some protein for breakfast! Protein is

what slows the metabolism of the carbohydrates in the meal, and thus

makes us feel full longer. Milk is mostly carbohydrates with just a

little protein. The chocolate kind has even more carbs, and since

there's a lot of sugar in it, they're not the kind of carbs that

stick with you and keep a steady blood sugar level. Someone

mentioned a great low points bread--Ezekial bread, I think. This'd

be a more complex carb, and would make you feel full longer. If you

go to a natural foods store to get some, you might also look

for " Manna " bread. It's usually in the freezer and the points vary

between one and two per serving, depending on the flavor. I like the

fruit and nut or the carrot raisin, but those are two points per

serving, so you might like the other lower points ones better. I'd

spread a Tablespoon of peanut butter on either one for a 2-3 point

breakfast that should stick with you longer than a glass of milk.

There's also cottage cheese, which if you like it, is a great protein

food, and very low in points. I actually mix it with a low point

fruit flavored yogurt for breakfast. The texture's a little

different, but it really sticks with me. Oatmeal is also a great

hunger-quencher for breakfast. When I have time, I often eat an egg

white omelet with toast or make a smoothie with 1/2 a frozen banana,

ice, milk or yogurt, and a scoop of one point protein powder. I buy

Genisoy Ultra XT natural flavor protein powder. It has LOTS of

protein, and sticks with me all morning. You could even make a

chocolate milk/banana smoothie with your Nesquik and some protein

powder! I hope some of these suggestions are useful to you!

> Help with my breakfast please!! I usually just have a glass of

choco milk (1 tbs Nesquick 1 pt. 8 oz. 2% low fat milk 3 pt.) Well

good muffins or breakfast breads that are really low in points say

around 1-2 pts per serving. Thanks for the help
