Breakfast On the Rebound Update

Excuse my wailing about my woes. My breakfast on the rebound issue is still persisting. My current breakfast solution of grabbing a container of yogurt in the morning to go with my peanut butter and crackers or cereal bars as a much needed source of calcium and protein is going to have to cease. I have developed an intolerance for the yogurt and likely milk too.

I am thinking of trying some of the soy milk but I am not encouraged. I do know the soy milk is expensive but per serving likely not more expensive than the yogurt. While I gather my courage and peruse the soy milk possibility, I am indulging myself in using hot cocoa as a substitute. Not very healthy, but soothing in the cool mornings and stimulating with the caffeine to get me going.

I am experimenting with the protein bars but they are per serving much more expensive than the yogurt was even buying them on sale and with coupons.

I am mulling over adding eggs in the morning for the protein but am stumbling. Any way you look at eggs they will need some type of preparation in the morning. No grab and go options. It will require a commitment and a schedule change.

Hmm, maybe a covered cup of soy milk and a protein bar are not such a risk after all. Legal chocolate. Something to look forward to...now if gas prices will just go down so I can afford them.
