It's Breakfast Time ... the Ideal Way!

IT’S BREAKFAST TIME!

  
What is your favourite breakfast? 
I love pancakes. The delicious leisurely breakfast to share with family and friends.  It always conjures up family happy times.  Of courses I always feel guilty about all the carbs and so little of the good stuff - protein! 
Over the years I have added canned mandarins or applesauce or / and blueberries. .  You use a lot less syrup with the fruity taste in the batter.  And it is so yummy with the fruity taste.
Now I am adding protein to breakfast in the form of Ideal Protein packages.  Ideal Protein has a great Chocolate Pancake and Orange Pancake mix.  Add grated Zucchini and beaten egg whites to the package mix.  Delicious, tastey and satifying!
Of course on Stage 1 you can’t have the added fruit.   But what a great start to your day.  A full meal, full tummy and the feeling that you have treated yourself to a great ‘normal’ breakfast.  (Check out the the Ideal Protein weight loss program).
Maintenance is a whole other challenge.  How do you cope with all the temptation out there?  You have daily challenges to maintain your ideal weight.  You have worked hard to get the body you wanted.  Now you want to keep it. 
Start your day with your carbs and don’t forget your protein.  Today’s breakfast was designed for two.  It is always nice to be able to share a Sunday morning leisurely breakfast with your loved one.  
The menu:
Ideal Protein Orange Pancake mix with added Ideal Protein Pineapple Banana package and chopped strawberries and blueberries. (no fruit on the weight loss program - but great for a regular breakfast 
Topped with a mix of strawberries, blueberries and watermelon
Drizzled with Ideal Protein /Walden Farms maple flavoured syrup (no calories or carbs
Side order of chicken bacon.
What a nice combination of flavours!
Yummy! Satisfying! And my day is set. 

Or try: English Mc Muffin topped with egg, tomato and chicken bacon, with a side of fruit and yogurt.


Or an Ideal Protein Omlete - chop vegetable in frying pan, top with Omlete mix.  Toss a couple of cherry tomotoes for colour.


Have fun with your food!
