Saying goodbye to my morning high fiber cereals just isn't going to be hard to do even though I've been eating them for a long time. I eat them for the fiber and convenience, but I don't particularly love them (at all).
Enter...the high protein, high fiber, wheatless breakfast! For the past two weeks, I've been making my husband a hot breakfast burrito, so it will fit right in with my routine to make my scramble after I'm done with his. If I do my exercise BEFORE he leaves, then when I'm ready to cook the scramble, I'll also be ready to eat it because I like to eat after my walk.
I'm going to be experimenting and tweaking this egg scramble for what I find most nutritious and most tasty.
Today:
1 farm fresh egg + 60g egg whites (from carton)
30g maple flavored Jimmy Dean sausage
15g sharp cheddar
50g cooked lentils
10g raw spinach
3 cherub tomatoes
chopped green onions
chopped red onions
salt & pepper

To increase the fiber, I'm going to add 30g raw chopped organic broccoli and 1T chia seeds (both split in half between breakfast and lunch) which will bump the fiber up to 8ish. I could also toss 1 or 2 walnuts on top for more Omega3 and a bit more fiber.
The Jimmy Dean sausage wasn't interesting. The sage flavor might be, but I think there's other meats I might like better like maybe some Trader Joe's sausage or even just the Costco bacon bits and Costco Fletcher's Black Forest ham.
I'm often having a Quest protein bar which has 15+ grams of protein, so I'm not too sad that my breakfast fiber has dropped under ten.
