If you can find Enjoy Life gluten-free granola I put a serving in a bowl and top with yoplait yogurt instead of milk. This with a hard boiled egg and a glass of juice tasty and filling.

The Vann's gluten free waffles are very high in fiber. They have 20% of the daily allowance per serving (2 waffles) and even my 5 year old loves them so they must be good.

They have apples adn cinamon or blueberry.

for protein, try quinoa, eggs/egg whites, yogurt, smoothies, tofu, and meats.

for fibre, fruit, veggies, seeds like flax, and higher fibre flours/grains like soy.

Egg whites are my go-to breakfast. Add a smoothie of mixed berries (lots of fiber) and almond milk and I'm good to go.

What about omelets, or frittatas loaded with lots of vegetables?

I know this sounds nuts, but sauteed greens with poached eggs IS SO GOOD!

napa cabbage has 3.45 g of fiber

chard has 3.68 g of fiber and huge amounts of vit K,A,C, Iron, Potassium...this is good stuff. I usually do scrambled eggs with this one.

Eggs have 5.54 g of protein (approx obviously) wit Vit K, tryptophan, selenium, and B12.

I take the chard and also some leek or shallot, and put it in very hot pan with some olive oil (though it's best not to heat olive oil - you could use a bit of broth to keep it from sticking to the pan). Flop it around a bit until it is wilted, and then lemon juice it MILDLY or just a dash of apple cider vinegar - not too much.

If I use the nappa cabbage, I sautee off some onion first, adding a bit of broth to soften them up, then add the cabbage, cooking a wee bit longer than I would the chard. This is really good with scrambled eggs. A Korean or Vietnamese dish (I'm sorry, I forget which one) is made this way, with salt, pepper, nappa cabbage, a bit of fish sauce, and scrambled egg. It is good. It sounds nasty, but it is good. I leave out the fish sauce at this point.

And, a couple important tips about poaching eggs. I take a pretty shallow and small frying pan and oil the bottom of it, then fill it with water. PUT SOME VINEGAR IN THE WATER - this helps keep the egg together. Also, never salt the water, this causes the white to break up. I bring the water to a near-boil, then add the eggs. They don't need to hard boil. I usually flip mine because I can't stand it if the white part isn't completely cooked. then out they come, plopped onto the chard.

Good luck!

Thanks so much for all the ideas!

I eat cashew or almond butter with bananas. The nut butters are both high protein and high fibre.

If you are looking for something to grab on the go, these Elev8me bars a great!

They are high in fibre and protein and very tasty! Check them out at www.prosnack.com

A family located in Canada makes the bars, so they are not available in many(if any) stores in the US. I order them online, but the cost and shipping are very reasonable. I eat one a day and love them!

The first ingredient on the list is "whey protein isolate", so it's for you dairy people.

What exactly is whey??? Just curious

The fluid portion of milk which remains after cheese curds have been removed.

Some whey protein has most of the lactose removed through a special process. Minimally processed whey protein is not for those who are casein or lactose intolerant.

I heard once that it's actually a waste product of dairy, but the dairy industry decided that they could make a lot of money if they started marketing it as health food/muscle building type protein.

That doesn't sound very appetizing . Anything for the almighty dollar I guess.

I tried New Zealand whey protein powder a few years ago and it gave me cyst acne around the jaw line. I guess it was a good thing it didn't agree with me.

I think it's traditionally been considered a by-product of the dairy industry. Although you can use it to make ricotta cheese (this type of ricotta is defiinitely off-limits to those who are lactose intolerant), usually on a small farm it would have been fed to the other animals. Giant factory farms would not have this capability and undoubtedly consider it a waste product.
