Happy Tuesday! I have a jelly donut jam packed day so let’s do this…
I started my day with a 5.5 mile run. I usually spring right out of bed, but today I felt hungry and blame that on my reluctant run.
Weird foggy picture. You’re welcome.
I spotted these Van’s Power Grains waffles at Whole Foods this weekend and was excited to give them a whirl. I used to eat waffles every week (and subject you to awful waffle Wednesday jokes) but have been focused on more protein lately. Well, this is like stoning two birds at once. Or something.
The cover proudly says “totally natural” but the ingredient list is still long.
The nutrition stats are good, but not amazing… I mostly say that because I thought the waffles were pretty small.
I ate one with PB&naner one with sf syrup. They were really good and came out of the toaster over crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. I also liked that they smelled like cinnamon.
But, this meal did not feel me up like my usual egg sandwich. That might be okay on a ‘not so hungry’ day (not that I ever have those) but it’s not cutting it today. I’m still hungry. Back to eggs tomorrow.
Question: What’s your go-to breakfast when you are HUNGRY (with a capital H)?
*I’m emailing winners of the pedometer and Beginner Running books right now.
Big bowl of oatmeal, with a big scoop of peanut butter. 🙂 maybe i’ll go have some right now…
I always crave something sweet…so I’ll have to go with toast or croissant with honey or even better, maple syrup!
Yum waffles, I keep seeing commercials for waffles but yet when I am at the store I forget to buy them! lol
I like eggs, too, especially an egg (scrambled up) in a mug with a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese. One minute to yumminess–can’t get much quicker or better than that!
Whoa that’s alot of protein in a waffle. I might try them just for that! If I’m really really hungry I usually go for a pumpernickel or wheat bagel with lox, its one of my favorites in the morning but its too heavy to have all the time. Otherwise, its usually greek yogurt with granola and walnuts.
English muffins with Pb and bananas. Or waffles, oatmeal, or cocoa puffs.
my favorite breakfast: one non-fat plain fage yogurt with a pack of raw almonds (the single serving packs) from trader joe’s. seems like a lot of almonds for a little yogurt container, but it tastes great and keeps you full. holler if you try it.
I am a creature of habit and like to eat oats with a splash of almond milk, blueberries, and egg whites. It keeps me full for a few hours.
10 grams of protein?! That’s awesome. I have to find those waffles. I eat the van’s blueberry waffles and they have like 2 grams of protein or somthing like that.
Have you had the Van’s blueberry waffles? How does the taste compare?
My go to when I’m really hungry is 2 bowls of cereal instead of one. Some habbits can never be broken- it’s not breakfast if it’s not cereal.
2/3 cup oats and a big scoop of justin’s almond butter. Keeps me full for several hours.
So you like it when your eggs “feel” you up, do ya? You naughty girl!
If I need to be tided over for 5+ hours I eat oats with Greek yogurt, a large apple and peanut butter. Not bad for 300ish calories.
I like half a whole wheat bagel with muenster cheese. Then an Amy’s sausage, preferably feta & spinach.
Ok, I really like bacon cheese bagel from McDonalds. True Confessions. Trying to get an 80/20 balance though.
And by that I mean 80% Diet Coke, 20% water.
Sigh.
I like your 80/20 🙂
eggs or oatmeal..they both always fill me up!
I am Hungry every morning. My usual breakfast: oatmeal + cottage cheese & berries, 1 hardboiled egg, 2 sausages. This morning it was 2 eggs. Lotsa protein! But I lift a lot too.
Thanks for the review on the waffles. I was thinking about picking some up.
Oatmeal or pancakes with lots of peanut butter!
Hmm, what about making an egg sandwich using waffles for the bread? Mmmm… My go-to breakfast when i’m really hungry is ricotta with honey and a sliced pear over waffles.
I’ve done that before, but I was hoping the protein in the waffles would save me the trouble of making eggs.
Yum- I’m craving breakfast again now! My husband frequently eats Van’s as the ones he buys are vegan. (Not sure if all are?)
My go-to when I’m H-ungry would have to be a stack pancakes or flax waffles with fresh berries.
Make a wafflewich! I put eggs and jam or a drizzle of maple syrup between two toasted (usually Van’s) waffles. It’s the best of both worlds!
I eat those too, they are pretty tasty 🙂 I may have to jazz mine up with bananas next time!
My go to hungry breakfast is whole wheat pancakes with peanut butter and bananas. Yum. I could go for some right now!!
