Ready Made Breakfasts for One Week

AdrianaG · 04-15-2010, 08:32 AM

The most difficult transition for low carbers is breakfast.

I'd like to come up with ready made breakfast items that can go in my freezer or pre-mixed/quick fix breakfast ideas that supply at least 20 grams of protein for a week. Mix and match ideas will be OK too.

I want the convenience of frozen waffles, english muffins and box cereals in low carb.

Hi Adrianna, hope you got some answers elsewhere, since there were no replies here. I haven't found any breakfast recipe to freeze, however, I do have a few that I cook up ahead of time and just refrigerate for about 5 days. In addition to hard boiled eggs, I scramble a dozen eggs and mix in either breakfast sausage or real bacon bits -- just heat up a serving each morning. A week ago, I made this quiche: (loved it)

Sausage Spinach Shroom Egg Casserole

1 roll sausage (Jimmy Dean…Hot, or whatever)
½ to 1 onion
1 large can mushrooms, or 2 small cans, (or fresh x 7, chopped)
1 chopped red bell pepper
1 bag frozen spinach (1/2 to ¾ of the bag)
1 Cup shredded cheese (I add more)
8 eggs
¼ C. cream
Salt and pepper, sprinkle nutmeg (I didn't add this - MS)
Add (optional) dried basil/oregano and top with paprika

Brown sausage and onion. Add mushrooms, spinach and spices. Cook until tender, drain, pour into a greased 9x9 baking dish. Beat Eggs, cream, salt and pepper. Sprinkle sausage mixture with cheese, pour egg mixture over and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

I sprinkled a bit of cayenne pepper on it to kick it up a notch!

Scramble eggs in the microwave it takes 2 minutes or less and no pot to wash simple quick and easy

DH makes burgers and I heat one up, fry an egg, put that on top of burger with cheese. Breakfast burger! Also SFS pancakes can stay in your fridge for a week.

Bacon, bacon, and bacon. Fry a bunch up and put in the fridge, nuke it for 30 seconds on the day you want to eat it. You can even find microwaveable bacon at the grocery store.

I buy bags of microwaveable sausage at Wal Mart. Not ideal for every day, but keeps me from justifying a cheat for convenience.

I also love to make egg casserole in cupcake cups - I even like them cold.

And leftovers! Go ahead - live on the wild side and eat dinner for breakfast!
