4. Any recipes?

Anyone have any recipes that incorporate the suggested breakfast components?

Mostly wondering about what protein to add to oatmeal. Making oatmeal is of course easy, but putting yogurt or egg in my oatmeal for extra protein just doesn't appeal. I firmly adhere to the belief that what I eat should appeal to my palette. Since I have a limited number of meals in my lifetime, I want to enjoy them all! I make compromises for health by omitting unhealthy foods and forcing myself to choke down psyllium everyday, but I want the remaining healthy choices to be food I enjoy eating. I find that pleasing my palette as well as my health needs really adds to my feeling of satiation. If I eat stuff I don't enjoy because it is healthy, I find that once I'm done, I'm still hankering for something tasty and am more prone to grab an unhealthy snack later.


I could add soy milk to oatmeal, since it has about 7 grams protein and I love it, but I do heavy physical labor all day and think I should have 15 grams or more of protein at breakfast.

Suggestions appreciated!
