10 Low Glycemic Breakfasts
Posted by: Determined2005 on 08/11/05 at 09:14 AM

Here are 10 low glycemic breakfasts as found on ediets.com. Hope you enjoy!!

1. Steel cut oats and raisins with nonfat milk. Whole grain breakfast cereals like whole oats contain protein and fiber, and stay with you throughout the morning. Although raisins have a high glycemic index, their glycemic load is low, because in the proper portion size (2 Tbs.) it fits into your healthy diet.

2. Crunchy yogurt parfait. You’ll love this layered parfait of protein powder-fortified nonfat yogurt, wheat germ, chopped walnuts and blueberries.

3. Cottage cheese berry delight. Low fat cottage cheese is a good source of protein and goes well with any berry that’s seasonal.

4. Southwestern omelet, whole wheat toast and grapefruit. Use egg substitute or two egg whites and one yolk; sauté in a nonstick pan with diced onions, and green and red peppers. Add a quarter-teaspoon of chili powder, then add eggs and cook until set. Serve topped with a Tbs. of salsa. Round out this meal with whole wheat toast and half a grapefruit.

5. Cheese and tomato sandwich with avocado. Enjoy with whole grain bread and low-fat cheese of choice (I like low fat provolone). A quarter-cup of mashed avocado provides
healthy monounsaturated fat that’s quite satisfying and tasty.

6. Eggless egg sandwich. Enjoy this sandwich for breakfast or lunch. It’s made with firm tofu,egg-free mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and garlic to taste. Serve on whole grain English muffin with cantaloupe.

7. Mexican cottage cheese. Toast a sourdough or whole wheat English muffin and top with 1% or fat-free cottage cheese and salsa. Serve with a cup of cantaloupe.

8. Berry Nutty Yogurt Parfait. Another easy-to-love parfait that incorporates seasonal berries with a sprinkle of nuts and wheat germ. This combo works well together to achieve stable blood glucose and sustains you throughout the morning.

9. Vegetarian pita pocket. Quickly sauté onions, mushrooms, green pepper and diced firm tofu in a nonstick pan. Add a couple of teaspoons of tomato sauce, season with onion and garlic powder, and serve in a whole-wheat mini pita pocket.

10. Cold (low GI) cereal with milk or dairy substitute and fruit. Choose a cereal with at least 10 grams of fiber per serving -- one that’s low in sugar. Good choices include Kashi GoLean,Fiber One, or All Bran. Add 2 Tbs. of slivered almonds, your choice of 1% or nonfat milk or unsweetened soy or rice milk, and one cup of high-fiber berries.

====================
Stuffed French Toast
Posted by: whitneymunoz on 06/29/05 at 02:36 PM

2 pieces low calorie bread 2 tsp. fatfree strawberry or plain cream cheese
1/2 banana sliced or 1/2 cup berries 2 Tbs. egg beaters

Spread cream cheese on one piece of bread and top with fruit. Top with other piece of bread. Dip both sides in egg beaters and cook in a skillet with Pam until drowned. Enjoy!
====================
Whole Wheat Pancakes
Posted by: christinagray2003 on 12/07/05 at 10:23 AM

1 egg 1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup fat free milk 1 tbs. splenda
2 tbs. applesauce 3 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt

Separate egg and beat egg white until stiff peaks form. Set aside. Mix everything else together in a bowl with a whisk. Fold in egg white gently. This will make the batter light and fluffy and make pancakes very tender. You can also use this batter to make waffles. It should make about 9 4" pancakes at 100 calories apiece, if you use oil and brown sugar. This is one I use as a “treat” breakfast and I only eat one pancake, but believe me they are so filling and good! If you use it as your main dish and add a fruit and protein to it, it's a great Sunday breakfast! They also freeze well. I top with margarine and sugar free syrup.
====================
Zucchini Bread
Posted by: TKDCHICK on 08/19/06 at 08:26 AM

2 c whole wheat flour 1 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 cup sugar (splenda would work) 1 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 tsp. baking powder 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 tsp. salt 1 cup zucchini

Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, powder, salt, cinnamon & nutmeg. In another bowl, mix egg product, applesauce & zucchini. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients until well blended. Pour into small, sprayed loaf pan. Bake 45-50 min.

Zucchini Pancakes
Posted by: Duchess of Diet on 01/24/05 at 02:25 PM

1 cup shredded zucchini 1 large egg
salt and pepper 1 pinch nutmeg

Toss the zucchini with some salt and allow to stand in a colander over a bowl for 10-20 minutes. Liquid will be drawn out of the zucchini. Squeeze excess water out of the zucchini and set aside. Scramble the egg with the nutmeg and some pepper then toss with the zucchini. In a frying pan spayed with nonstick cooking spray over medium-high heat divide the mixture into 2 mounds, then flatten slightly with the back of a spatula; then cook until the egg has set enough to turn. Turn and cook until set.
====================
Apple Granola Bar "Custard"
Posted by: kchhbb on 07/22/06 at 08:31 AM

I diced an apple, put it in a small Corningware round dish and microwaved 2 minutes. Then I crumbled the Apple granola bar on top of it, added 1 cup nonfat plain yogurt and cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. I stirred it all up and baked this for 1/2 an hour at 400 and it was sort of a cross between apple crisp and cheesecake. It was my all-in-one breakfast-dairy-fruit.
====================
Apple Crisp A La Mode for breakfast!!
Posted by: xterraqueen on 08/31/05 at 12:38 AM

I took an apple, diced it and sprinkled on some artificial sweetener and cinnamon, just a tad of water and microwaved it about 2 minutes, it makes it almost like apple pie filling, then I put the granola cereal on it and topped it with a fat free vanilla yogurt, works for me. Might for you.
====================
Breakfast Smoothie
Posted by: hnsp on 04/10/05 at 01:17 PM

I'm a breakfast-on-the-run type. It's been a struggle just making myself eat before I leave the house in the mornings. But the thing that makes it work for me is a breakfast smoothie. Blend together in a Smoothie Machine (the best investment I've made in awhile!):

1 scoop Pro-Rated Alpine Vanilla Whey Protein (Costco - it's sweetened with Splenda)
5-6 frozen strawberries or 3/4 cup frozen blueberries or cranberries
1 cup ice-cold water
2 packets Splenda (to sweeten the tart strawberries)
1 pkg. NS Cereal

Pour into a tall glass. I take my supplements in the morning with this smoothie and they never "bounce"!
====================
Chocolate Cherry Crunch Bites

1 package of Splenda
12 cherries (get the kind in a can, packed in water)

1 medium peach sliced: sprinkle with splenda and cinnamon. Microwave on low until soft: 1 min or so. Sprinkle the NS Low Fat Granola on it. Microwave for 2-3 min. Serve with fat free whip cream, if desired. I think it will work with other fruits: blueberry, raspberry etc.
====================
Fruit Cobbler - variation

I tweaked this recipe a little to include my new best friend -- soy flour. The addition of soy flour adds 7 g protein and 40 cal. It counts as fruit + entree + protein.

2 packets of Splenda
1 NS Low Fat Granola
1 tsp. Promise fat free spread

Baked Eggs
Determined2005 on 08/01/05 at 01:37 PM

I used 4 of the NS Eggs and added green pepper, onion, mushrooms, broccoli and a little bit of feta cheese and made an omelet. I cooked it in a small casserole dish on 350 for 45 minutes. It was wonderful. I now have breakfast for 4 days already made. I heated it up this morning at work and everyone wanted to know what smelled so good!!!
====================
Breakfast Pizza
Posted by: LILYBUG4 on 09/30/06 at 04:52 PM

1 package of NS eggs (any flavor will do, this morning it was mushrooms and peppers). Mix according to directions and pour into a nonstick round cake pan sprayed with Pam, spread around. Add to your "pizza" pizza style Canadian bacon (22 slices = 80 cal), I only use 10 at the most, a slice of fat free cheese or a few turkey pepperoni's (7-8, 1/2 serving). Add Pizza spices. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes, you want it nicely brown on top.
====================

====================
Egg recipe
BenTher on 11/01/06 at 08:12 AM

I like to use three egg whites for my protein and beat them stiff to volumize my food serving. This morning I used the NS scrambled eggs and folded them into the egg whites, poured it into a small glass baking dish and baked at 350 until they were beginning to turn gold and felt dry to the touch. This made a beautiful golden little puff that really was tasty. Basically it is an egg soufflé.
====================
Egg Soufflé w/ Morningstar Sausage
Posted by: NICINCHIC on 08/19/06 at 11:44 AM

It's Esta's recipe, looks delicious from her post on 8/15.

1/2 cup southwest style Egg Beaters 1/4 cup low fat cottage cheese
2 Tbs. fat free sour cream 1 Morningstar veggie sausage link
1/4 cup chopped spinach 1/4 cup chopped broccoli
1/4 cup fat free cheddar

Blend cottage cheese and sour cream together until cottage cheese is smooth. Combine all ingredients. I used a small soufflé cup to bake mine in. Bake at 350 for 30-40 min until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean
====================
French Toast Eggs
Posted by: salemcat00 on 09/30/06 at 04:48 AM

1/2 cup egg substitute (1 serving protein)
1 packet Splenda
dash cinnamon
dash vanilla

I suppose you can use the cheese Nutrisystem eggs for this too. Mix ingredients together and whip them up really good. I use my Magic Bullet. You want them frothy. Then cook on a large griddle pan sprayed with some non stick spray. Cook until brown on underneath side and fold up like an omelet. It should be very thin, but it will be a little puffy from the frothy eggs. Serve with just a little sugar free syrup. To me, this tastes just like French Toast. It doesn’t have exactly the same texture, of course, but it satisfies my need for them.
====================
Impossible Spinach Quiche
Posted by: rebelgal on 09/25/06 at 02:33 PM

1 container NS scrambled eggs
1 packet NS pancake mix
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 10-oz. frozen package of spinach, thawed and drained of excess moisture
1 Tbs. finely chopped white, yellow or green onion
dash Worcestershire sauce
salt & pepper to taste
2 oz low fat cheese, grated
bell pepper rings (optional) for garnish

Combine pancake mix, egg mix, milk, water, spinach, onion, Worcestershire and salt &
pepper. Pour into a pie pan that has been coated with Pam. Grate cheese on top of mixture and bake for 20 minutes. Cut in half for 2 breakfast servings, 2 dairy servings + vegetable. I have tried it with broccoli & mushroom instead of spinach. You can use any combination of vegetables you want or if you can afford the protein you could also add chopped ham or turkey bacon. The NS scrambled eggs is about equivalent to 2 eggs worth so use a generous half-cup of Eggbeaters (where 1/4 cup = 1 egg), or 1/4 cup Eggbeaters + 1 large egg.
====================

Spiced Apple Cider Pancakes using NS Eggs
Posted by: kchhbb on 11/09/06

I'm not a fan of the NS scrambled eggs, but had some to use up so I used them with the NS pancake mix to make this. Here's what I did: I added 1/2 cup apple cider to the scrambled egg cup along with 1/8 tsp. each ground cloves, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. I stirred this all up,then added a packet of NS pancake mix into the cup and stirred it just to moisten (added a bit of water to make it pourable consistency). I made 4 pancakes and put 2 away for tomorrow. This was great with some SF syrup and veggie sausage on the side. It counted as my entree,
protein and fruit.
====================
Jazzman's Bread Pudding

McGriddle (Almost)
Posted by: sockmonkeyninja on 12/04/06 at 01:36 PM

NS Muffins (I used blueberry bran)
1 Morningstar veggie sausage patty
1 Tbs. fat free cream cheese

Heat sausage in microwave (1 min, wrapped in moist paper towel) and set aside. Slice
muffins into two pieces, a top and bottom each. Spread with cream cheese and nuke for 15 seconds. Cut sausage into two 1/2 circles. Assemble into sandwich. The muffins are so small that the 1/2 circles nearly fill up the middle of the muffin. You could use 1/4 of egg beaters instead of cream cheese or put some sugar free maple syrup on top and eat with a fork for a more mapley flavor. It reminded me of a McGriddle, in that it was sweet in the breading but savory in the filling. Counts as Breakfast entree + Protein + free food
====================
Muffin French Toast
Posted by: Robyn845 on 08/30/05 at 07:00 PM

Another Great Use for Pancakes
Posted by: Neptune6 on 09/12/05 at 12:39 PM
I cut up 1-1/4 cup strawberries, mashed 2 packets of Splenda into the strawberries, and let
them macerate. I then mixed the NS pancakes according to directions and cooked them on a
nonstick griddle. By lightly spreading the circles of batter a little further with a spoon after I
drop them onto the griddle, I always find I can make 3 decent-sized pancakes. Between the
cooked pancakes, I layered pats of fat free cream cheese (1/8 of an 8-oz bar). Once the heat
from the pancakes softened the cream cheese, I was able to spread it in an even layer on
each pancake. I then layered in my strawberry mixture. This made a delicious and filling
breakfast -- 1 NS breakfast entree, 1 serving protein, 1 serving fruit.

Posted by: Judiebee on 08/18/06 at 09:16 AM

Start with pancake mix, add 1/3 cup milk and a little more water. Cook on a Teflon griddle (no fat). Pancakes will be very thin. Turn once. and set aside. Makes about 4 crepes. In a separate dish combine 1/4 cup ff cottage cheese, Splenda to taste, one egg white to help the cheese stick together (optional) and chopped up fruit of your choice. I used Strawberries, but blueberries, applesauce, peaches or raisins will work too. Mix thoroughly and put 1/4 of the mix on each of each crepe. Roll it up. Add ff sour cream if desired. Sour cream was always a standard on my regular cheese blintzes. Enjoy!

Crepes
Posted by: sarahluke on 04/01/05 at 08:44 AM

I made some this morning by preparing the NS pancake mix, adding 1 egg and water until the consistency allowed the batter to thinly fill the bottom of the pan when I tilted it around. Cook and flip. The egg makes the consistency "bouncy" like a real french crepe.

Denver D's Mini Donuts
Posted by: Denver_D on 09/23/06 at 02:14 PM

I ordered a 12-count mini donut pan from amazon.com. It was sent from bakers
catalogue/king arthur flour. The part number is 5249 Mini Doughnut Pan.

1 packet NS Pancake Mix 1/3 cup skim milk
2 Splenda packets cinnamon
PAM spray ICBINB

Mix milk and pancake mix in a bowl. The add in one Splenda packet and cinnamon (about
half the amount as the splenda). Continue stirring until mixed thoroughly. Pour mixture into Pam sprayed donut tray. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Use ICBINB spray on the tops and sprinkle on more cinnamon. I hand-dipped the tops of the donuts into heated Hershey's non-sweetened cocoa powder mixed with 1/8 cup of water and 1 Splenda packet to make a chocolate sauce (you could also use melted NS dessert chocolates).

Fruity Breakfast Muffins (Double Recipe)
Posted by: JANETDW on 10/22/06 at 12:09 AM

2 NS Pancake Mix (or Sub 2/3 c Heart Smart Bisquick - soy optional)
1 egg
1 container "diet" yogurt (under 90 calories, generally)
Splenda to taste (usually 2-4 Tbs. but more with tart fruit)
2 servings *dried* fruit (Raisins, Craisins, apricot, dried cherries, chopped dried apples, etc.)
1/4 tbs. vanilla or other extract (optional)
Spices (optional, but I add cinnamon or nutmeg to most.

If I use the Vanilla yogurt and no cinnamon, I have added a shake of Molly McButter to add bit of richness to the batter.) I sometimes add about 1/4 tsp. baking powder, since I add soy flour to the Bisquick to make it closer to the NS mix in protein. It does make the muffins fluffier, but it will work without it if you are in a hurry.
Preheat oven (or toaster oven) to 350. Blend together, until all dried mix is moist. If mixture seems too thick, you could add a bit of milk or Torani syrup (caramel is good with the apples!) to get the right consistency. Spray 6 muffin tin with nonstick spray and divide evenly into 6 muffins. Bake for 20-24 minutes. 6 muffins = 2 breakfasts with protein and fruit serving included. (The egg and yogurt are two protein servings. Be sure to check the measurements on the dried fruit as it is much less than fresh fruit.)

Other favorites:

Vanilla yogurt with mixture of raisins and chopped dried apples and lots of cinnamon
Chopped dried apricots and peach yogurt Lemon yogurt with dried blueberries. I add 1/4 tsp. of Crystal Light Lemonade powder. You can add fresh fruit but do not add any extra liquid!! These may need extra time and will
be moister. I used fresh blueberries with lemon yogurt and they were really juicy - almost had to eat with a fork! Would have been a good coffee cake. You could probably make a coffee cake easily by placing in a casserole dish and baking a bit longer. These are easy and fast and should freeze well, if I can ever resist them the following morning! I hope you enjoy them as well. I am trying to figure out how to do a pina colada version without it being too moist due to the moisture in crushed pineapple. Tomorrow I am going to try vanilla yogurt, dried cherries and add Hershey's cocoa to see if I can't come up with a Black Forest Muffin!

Pancake
Posted by: BenTher on 10/20/06 at 09:34 AM

I used three egg whites for my protein, banana for fruit and 1/3 cup fat free plain yogurt instead of milk. I beat two of the egg whites until stiff, beat 1 egg white with banana and yogurt, folded banana mixture into egg whites and then folded pancake mix into this. These were so light and fluffy that I made them into dollar sized pancakes to make them easier to handle and there were about 20 of them.

1 NS pancake mix 1/3 c. water
1/2 c. vegetarian "meat" crumbles 1/2 c. skim milk
salt and pepper to taste

Mix NS pancake mix with 1/3 cup WATER (not milk like the package says). Reserve 1 Tbs. of the mixture, and use the rest to make pancakes. After pancakes are cooked and out of pan, spray a little nonstick spray, and add veggie meat crumbles. Allow to heat for 1-2 minutes. Add skim milk. Stir until mixture comes to a boil, then add salt, pepper, and reserved pancake mixture (this will thicken up your gravy). Stir well for about a minute, or until mixture thickens to the consistency you like. Pour over pancakes and enjoy.

Peach Cobbler
Posted by: Jennifer Dawn on 09/11/02 at 07:31 PM

I got this from Lo's site:

1/2 cup canned peaches in juice pie spice to taste
I Can't Believe it's not Butter spray 1 pkg. NS pancake mix & 1/4 cup milk
Splenda to taste Bit of vanilla extract
Cinnamon

Use dish that will allow mix and peaches to expand a bit while cooking. Mix splenda with peaches for extra sweetness. Mix pie spice to taste, with peaches. Spray ICBINB spray over peaches. Mix up pancake mix with 1/4 up skim milk. Add vanilla extract and mix. Add more splenda to pancake mix for more sweetness. Pour pancake batter over peaches, spray with ICBINB and sprinkle cinnamon on top. Cook 2 min on high in microwave. Let cool slightly. Eat with fat free vanilla yogurt (or other milk serving), and prepare to get full!

RE: PEACH COBBLER
Posted by: Anaconda on 05/04/05 at 04:11 AM

I tried this with frozen blackberries. I topped the blackberry cobbler with fat free cool whip. It looked like a HUGE portion of cobbler. Based on the recipe above, it tasted OK. I did add 1 packet of splenda to the blackberries and 1 packet to the pancake mix. I think the pancake mix could have used more Splenda and maybe even some pecan pieces. It probably would have been better baked and maybe even mixing more of the fruit with the pancake mix (not totally together but not totally separated with all fruit on bottom and all mix on top).

Peaches and Cream Pancakes
Posted by: LineDancinGrandma on 11/01/04 at 01:42 PM

1 package NS Pancake Mix 1/2 cup skim milk
1 capful of vanilla extract cinnamon to taste
1/2 can lite canned peaches, drained
Fat free cool whip

Mix the pancake mix, skim milk, vanilla and cinnamon together. Drain peaches. Place the peaches on one side of pan, sprinkle with cinnamon and while they caramelize from the coating of liquid clinging to them and cinnamon, pour batter on other side of pan. The peaches will get very soft and break up some, just stir until pancakes are done cooking. Place pancakes on plate, top with hot cinnamon peaches, and add fat free cool whip on top.

Peachy Popover
Posted by: bittygirl on 08/21/05 at 05:14 PM

This is sort of a cross between a Dutch Baby pancake and fruit-topped Yorkshire pudding. Should serve 4 with breakfast but why not just two? The ingredients are pretty minimal. I'm fond of adding herbs to recipes and rather than decide for you what to add, I'm listing herbs that are useful with fruit -- Anise, cilantro, lemon balm, lemon verbena, mint, rosemary, ginger, lavender and many of the scented geraniums. Mix together in a small dish and set aside:

1 T Brown sugar (Splenda) and 1/4 tsp. cinnamon.
Mix with a whisk or mixer:
1 egg 1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup flour 1/8 tsp. salt

Let sit while you heat oven to 400. Into hot oven, place a pie pan with 1 T butter (ICBINB) and let melt and pan get hot. Have ready a peach that's been peeled and sliced thinly (or use apple). Take pan from oven and hurriedly pour batter into sizzling butter. Arrange sliced fruit on top quickly and sprinkle with splenda/cinnamon. Return immediately to oven and bake for
25 minutes.

Pigs in the blanket
Posted by: Ontheway77 on 07/29/06

1 NS Pancake mix
2 Morning Star Breakfast Links
2 tbs. fat free Philly Strawberry Cream Cheese

I made the NS pancake batter extra thin and made crepes from it. I used 8" non stick fry pan sprayed with butter spray after each crepe. Just put 3 tbs. of batter in pan, rolled it around and it made 4 nice sized crepes. Then I took strawberry fat free cream cheese and spread a little on each crepe. Then I took 2 Morning Star sausage links, cooked as directed in microwave, split them in half lengthwise. Put one piece in center of each crepe and rolled them up. Poured a little sugar free syrup on them. Put them in microwave for 30 sec. just to
make them hotter.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Posted by: mrslu on 03/30/06 at 09:10 PM

This is not my recipe, it was posted by winetroll on Jazz's site. I bake it, as I don't like the texture when you try to "bake" something in the microwave.

1 Dole Pineapple Fruit Bowl (packed in 100% fruit juice)
1 package NS Pancake Mix
2 maraschino cherries, chopped (for color)
couple drops vanilla
fat free Cool Whip (optional)

Drain pineapple reserving juice. Put pineapple tidbits and cherries in small microwave safe bowl. Mix pineapple juice with pancake mix, and vanilla. Add a splash of milk if the batter is too thick. Pour batter over pineapple and cherries. Microwave for two minutes (microwave times may vary) or until batter is "set". Invert bowl on plate. Top with fat free Cool Whip.

Counts as 1 fruit, 1 NS Breakfast, and 1 free food. After I take it out of the oven, I sprinkle a generous amount of Splenda Brown Sugar blend on top of the pineapple, and spray with ICBINB. It makes a caramel like topping.

Pineapple Upside-down Cheesecake
Posted by: veggieGurl on 10/10/06 at 11:34 AM

1 package of NS pancake mix 3/4 cup fresh pineapple
1/2 cup water 1 tsp. maple syrup (20 cal. - free food)
1 oz fat free or light cream cheese or 1 wedge Laughing Cow Light Cheese

Slice 1/4 of the pineapple into small pieces, and finely chop the rest. Combine the pancake mix and finely chopped pineapple and only enough water to make everything moist like cake batter, not runny like pancake batter. You may need more or less water, so add a little at a time - you can always put more in, but you can't take any out! In another bowl, mix the rest of the pineapple with the maple syrup. Coat a medium ramekin or large muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place pineapple and syrup mixture on the bottom. Pour 1/2 the cake batter into the pan. Then place or spread the cheese into the pan. Top with the remainder of the batter. Bake for about 25 minutes or until it is golden brown. Turn the cake out onto a plate and eat hot or wait to cool.
