The Recipe Blog - Breakfast Recipes

I'm talking about cooking this week at the Largest Loser group class.
I wanted to put the recipes online to share with everybody, and to allow the group to find them, in case they wanted to try them.

These are 2 nice recipes for breakfast (lunch and dinner will be following).

SMOOTHIE
Ingredients:
Strawberries - 1 cup - 46 Cal
Banana - 1 large - 125 Cal
Soy Protein Powder - 1 oz - 93 Cal
Flaxseed - 2 tbl spn - 118 Cal
Ice - 2 cups
Water - 1 cup
TOTAL CAL = 382
58g carbs, 10 g fat (flaxseed), 25 g protein - LOTS of fiber (so don't be too afraid of the carbs number)

Optional:
Yogurt
Orange Juice

I would think about using yogurt INSTEAD of banana to manage the calories a little.  The juice is an issue because of calories, but it can boost the sweetness a little and give some nice orange flavor.  If you wanted to use a little bit of OJ instead of strawberries, feel free, be mindful.


GREEK OMELET
Ingredients:
3/4 cup egg white substitute - 90 Cal
1/2 onion - 21 Cal
3/4 cup mushrooms - 12 Cal
1 cup spinach - 7 Cal
cooking spray
2 oz low fat feta - 70 Cal
TOTAL
200 Cal - 11 Carbs - 35 Protein

Directions:
1) Heat the pan to medium heat
2) OFF THE HEAT - spray the pan (on the heat = fire hazard)
3) Add onion and mushroom - cook until translucent
4) Add spinach - cook until wilted
5) Remove veggies from pan and set aside
6) If needed, give pan another spray
7) Add eggs, constantly scraping
8) When at least 1/2 cooked, add veggies and cheese
9) Serve with whole grain bread, if desired(since the calories are pretty low, adding some whole grains is a pretty reasonable option)
