    Breakfast Bread
    CarbsPerServing:9g carbs total
    Effort:Easy
    Ingredients:
    1/4 cup protein powder
    1/2 cup carbo-lite bake mix
    1/4 cup flax seeds — ground
    into 1/2C meal
    3 large eggs
    1/2 cup sour cream1/4 cup water
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    3 tablespoons melted
    butter

    How to Prepare:
    Preheat oven to 350f. Spray
    a standard 8″ loaf pan (or
    an 8×8x2 cake
    pan) with cooking spray. Mix
    dry ingredients in a large
    bowl.
    Beat eggs with a fork and
    blend in butter, water and
    sour cream.
    Stir into dry ingredients until
    just blended.
    Pour into prepared pan and
    bake: 30 minutes for
    square pan and 40
    minutes for loaf pan.

    This bread is semi-sweet
    because the carbo-lite bake
    mix has splenda in it.
    This bake mix is zero carb.
    22g carbs; 11g fiber. The flax seeds provide almost
    all the fiber and
    is a source of insoluable
    fiber as I understand it. I
    would subtract 9g from
    the loaf total carbs leaving a
    loaf w/ just 13g carbs total.
    May add some cinnamon
    and vanilla extract next time
    for a more
    sweet/homestyle taste:)
    This only rose to the top of
    the loaf pan, so it’s not a big
    loaf. I’m
    also thinking that beating
    the whites and folding them
    in might increase the
    volume for the rise. If you try
    this, please let me know:)

    Porridge (Cooked Oatmeal) Equivalent
    CarbsPerServing:counts not provided
    Effort:Easy
    Ingredients:
    1 egg
    2 teaspoons protein powder — soy, unflavored
    half and half1/4 cup powdered nuts (macadamia — walnut, whatever)
    sweetner

    How to Prepare:
    As a note, just put the nuts into a blender and let it run enough to
    chop them into a coarse powder.

    Mix the protein powder and the egg in a small mixing bowl. Add an
    equivalent volume of half and half, or cream. Mix. Put the bowl in
    the microwave and cook on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Mix again, and
    cook for 1 minute. Adjust the time so that the mixture is cooked and
    not runny. Mix again until it has the consistancy of porridge.

    Mix in the nuts. Add sweetner to taste, and add half and half as
    typical on porridge. The result is pretty adequate with a slight
    eggy taste.

    Sweet Induction Breakfast

    CarbsPerServing:5g total
    Effort:Easy
    Ingredients:
    1/2 tablespoon butter
    2 eggs
    2 packets artificial sweetener2 tablespoons cream cheese
    1 teaspoon heavy cream
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla

    How to Prepare:
    Heat frying pan and allow butter to coat the bottom. Mix the 2 eggs
    with a packet of sweetener in a small bowl and pour into frying pan.
    DO NOT STIR EGGS–let them cook like an omelet.
    In another small bowl mix the cream cheese, heavy cream, vanilla and

    When the eggs are cooked, you can let them cool before adding the
    cream mixture or let the mixture melt slightly onto the warm eggs.
    Gently spread the cream mixture to cover the eggs (like tomato sauce
    on a pizza). Using a spatula roll the egg “crepe” together like a
    jelly roll. Ejoy!! Makes a nice snack or dessert, too!

    Wonder Waffles
    Serves:you get two waffles about 4×4 from
    it
    CarbsPerServing:6.5 carbs
    Effort:Easy
    Ingredients:
    I got this from another sight and tried it, it is so good.
    Haven’t tried it with any zero carb syrup yet. Just butter or cream
    cheese4 large eggs
    2 Tbls. heavy cream
    2 Tbls. water (0 carbs)
    1 Tsp. vanilla extract
    2 Pkt. Splenda (or 2 tsp. powdered Splenda)
    2 or 3 ounces of crushed pork rinds
    1/4 Tsp. ground cinnamon
    3 Tbls. melted butter

    How to Prepare:
    Beat the eggs then add the cream, water, and vanilla extract and
    beat some more. Mix the Splenda with the cinnamon and then add that
    to the eggs. (Mixing the cinnamon with the Splenda before adding
    helps to keep the cinnamon from clumping up as much.) When well
    blended mix in the ground pork rinds.
    Let the mixture sit for a couple of minutes until it thickens. Then
    stir and check the consistency. It should be quite thick, but not to
    thick to spoon easily. If too thick, add a little water. If too
    thin, add a little bit more pork rinds. Just before you’re ready to
    put into waffle iron, stir in about 2/3 of the melted butter.
    Mock Danish (stovetop)
    Serves:1,8,8
    Prep Time:10 minutes
    Effort:Easy

    Ingredients:
    3 oz cream cheese
    1 egg, beaten
    1/4 tsp vanilla extract
    dash of cinnamon
    1 packet Splenda

    How to Prepare:
    Heat the cream cheese in a small saucepan at low-medium heat till it
    is melted and creamy, stirring constantly. Then, add the beaten egg,
    and begin whisking the mixture to really mix it well. It will thicken as it cooks. Continue

    whisking it, to keep it smooth. When
    it starts to thicken, add the sweetener and seasonings. Let it cook
    until it is very thick, thicker than pudding. When it holds its
    shape on a spoon, it’s done. Chill and eat.
