GD breakfast ideas

So all of a sudden, my normal breakfasts aren't cutting it. I usually have either a nutrigrain bar and milk or toast w/ pb and sugar free jelly. My problem is that I want something sweeter in the morning, and just can't stomach the thought of eggs!

Any ideas for me? I get 3 carb choices at each meal, but breakfast is really becoming problematic. My one hour reading for the last few days is over 140.

    it's not sweet but i have whole grain toast with part skim ricotta cheese for breakfast. it's really filling, low in carbs and high in protein.

    I had some glucerna cereal with strawberries and almond milk this morning.  A side of cottage cheese on the side for protein.  It was really good, and my number was excellent

    You might try cottage cheese with a bit of cinnamon. I usually have half a cup of that with a glucose control boost and my numbers are pretty good.

    Also, I tried the Glucerna cereal with no luck, but I saw Special K has a high protein cereal that is less carbs than the Glucerna and my numbers were acceptable.

    I do high fiber oatmeal (2 carb choices) and I've only ever been over 120 twice.

    Oh and I LOVE the Fiber One yogurt (Key Lime flavor) -- it is amazing.

    I eat these, they have a vanilla taste... 2 pancakes is 1 carb...
     Better than the Boxed Stuff Homemade Low Carb PancakesNo hidden carbs, great flavor, and a texture that is very close to the real thing.
    The recipe below takes one egg and makes 2 pancakes. Double or triple it to make more.

    2.5 tablespoons vanilla whey protein powder. I use Precision Engineered.
    3/4 teaspoons baking powder
    1 egg
    1 teaspoon vegetable oil (I use sunflower)
    1 tablespoon DaVinci Sugar Free Syrup, flavor of your choice. I use Vanilla, Caramel or English Toffee. (You can substitute 1 teaspoon Splenda with 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tablespoon water)
    2 tablespoons water

    Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the egg, oil, Syrup or Splenda, and water. If batter is too thick to pour easily, add another tablespoon or two of water to thin out. Stir. Fry in a pan or griddle as you would regular pancakes. Turn when bubbles appear at edges.

    Serve with Maple Grove Farms "Cozy Cottage" sugar free Maple Syrup, 1 gm sorbitol per tablespoon.

    For two pancakes made with DaVinci syrup: 1 g carb 0 gm fiber.16 g protein. 14 g fat. 197 calories.
