I am on the mushy phase. I am bored with yogurt and eggs. I need some creative ideas. I like my shake for snack because that is easy to drink while working. Oh yeah, I get up at 5 and leave by 6:20. 😃

Have you tried Oat Bran?  Its a nice change from Cream of Wheat. I alternate them. I bought some Mother's Oat Bran and it is delicious.  I make it with skim milk.  1/2 serving is all I can take with my baby stomach.  It only cooks for 1 minute so it is quick.  I add unflavored protein to boost protein and dilute with unsweetened coconut or almond milk. I also put in ground flax seed.  Not sure if the flax seed is technically recommended at our stage (I was sleeved 8/8) but it hasn't been a problem.

cottage cheese with PB2, peanut butter, almond butter, or salsa/sriracha stirred in

tuna salad

refried beans with salsa and melted cheese

eggface's ricotta bake

turkey meatballs

sardines

string cheese

anything else you might want to eat that fits your macros - don't be trapped by the rules of the traditional Euro-American breakfast foods!

I haven't eaten much in the way of breakfast foods for my first meal of the day, I tend to just heat up leftovers or whatever.  :)

Try 1/4 cup of oatmeal with 1/2 cup fat free mile. Use splenda and some blueberries for some added taste.

You can add a lot of different spices and flavors to eggs (garlic powder, cajun seasoning, Herbs de Provence, salsa, etc.) Or try "dinner" items for breakfast and puree them. Sorry, but the mushy stage is just no fun. It gets better soon!
