[cybrsage]

[snowpatrol123]

Is there a lactose free alternative to whey?

vegetable protein powder, egg white protein powders come to mind

 

[Southernfish]

3 whole eggs/3 white omelette w/ cheddar cheese
2 cups orange juice/1 banana/scoop of vanilla whey/5g unflavored BCAAs/1 cup oats all blended together

Sometimes ill have a few strips (5 or 6 lol) of bacon as a treat with the omelette

Breakfast should never be dreaded, its the longest period of time that your body goes without food or water and that body of yours needs fuel.
Fresh fruit should be number 1 on your list of items to eat or drink as you can also blend away these delicious fruits as well. I'm the first to admit that I am not hungry in the morning but after throwing down some bacon to fry, whipping up some whole wheat pancakes topped off with fresh fruit and yoghurt, and a serving of scrambles eggs and chasing it all down with fresh orange juice my perspective for the rest of the day changes for the better and I feel that I can climb mount wannahackalugi. Life is good after that and your ready to attack and conquer. Remember to eat comfort breakfast foods as you can turn any of those IHOP breakfast foods into nutritious foods as long as your food source is good and organic.

My favourite is chocolate brown rice protein 3 scoops, 2 banana, almond milk, natty Pb, tad if coconut oil,and tad of whole oats. Damn you are full and tons if energy for a blather if a workout.

Eggs will do the trick for me, plus a cottage cheese and 1 cup of oatmeal. Sometimes meat (but only when I am in a mood to eat one for breakfast). And Fruits of course.

 

[HUGE.HULK]

I usually have 300 ml fresh orange juice; 2 tablespoons of peanut butter; 2 servings of Nitrotech (cookies & cream); 2 tablespoons of Greek yoghurt and 1 black Turkish coffee after that.

Nice! Greek Yogurt! How can I forget this?! Sometimes I eat it plain (might be gross for a lot of people, but it tastes good to me), but most of the time I mix it with blueberries and strawberries. Yum!

 

[ChaseTheYoke]

1 1/2 cup of oatmeal 3g F/88g C/13.5g P
40g whey shake 40g P/ like 12g carbs usually

This is if you just hate waking up and eating a huge meal and want to still hit your macros and be able to eat 1.5-2hrs later.

Nothing beats whole foods though. 2 cups egg whites FTW

Power Bar-Chocolate-dipped

1 cup rolled oats -Chocolate-dipped
1/2 cup sesame seeds, toasted and ground
1/2 cup dried apricots; chopped fine
1/2 cup raisins; chopped fine
1 cup shredded unsweetened dried coconut

12 oz chocolate chips; 2 cups
4 oz paraffin, food grade or 3/4 cup butter



Toast the sesame seeds in a frying pan for about 7 minutes, until golden, then grind coarsely. Toast the oats in a 300 degree oven in a 10 inch by 15 inch baking pan for 25 minutes, stirring to prevent scorching.

Mix the seeds, apricots, raisins, coconut, almonds, dry milk, and wheat germ; mix well. Mix hot oats into dried fruit mixture.

Butter the hot baking pan; set aside.

In the frying pan, combine corn syrup or honey and sugar; bring to a rolling boil over medium high heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter, orange extract, and orange peel. At once, pour over the oatmeal mixture and mix well.

Quickly spread in buttered pan and press into an even layer. Then cover and chill until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.

DIPPING FOR CHOCOLATE COATING

Cut into bars about 1 1/4 by 2 1/2 inches.
Combine chocolate chips and paraffin in to top of a double boiler. Place over simmering water until melted; stir often. Turn heat to low.
Using tongs, dip 1 bar at a time into chocolate, hold over pan until it stops dripping , then place on wire racks set above waxed paper.
With paraffin, the coating firms very quickly, bars with butter in the chocolate coating may need to be chilled. When firm and cool), serve bars, or wrap individually in foil. Store in the refrigerator up to 4 weeks; freeze to store longer.

Protein Bars

10 tbsp. natural peanut butter
5 egg whites
5 scoops whey protein (I find that chocolate mint tastes the best in this recipe, however chocolate tastes good as well)
2 cups oats (OPTIONAL: For flavor, I dry cook these on a frying pan until they are toasted)
1/2 cup soy milk

DIRECTIONS

Mix the peanut butter and egg whites in a bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, and mix well (so that the mixture appears smooth). Repeat 4-5 times until all traces of egg whites have dissolved into the peanut butter, and your mixture is a smooth consistent one.

Gradually add the protein (one scoop at a time) and stir into the mixture. Next, add the soy milk and follow with the oats. Continue mixing until a thick 'sticky' mixture is present.

Smooth the thick mixture into a 13x9 tray and leave for 20-30 minutes. Cut into 10 equal size bars. Individually wrap each bar (I use aluminum foil) and store in the fridge.
