I am saving all of these recipes for when I finally get to phase 3! Liz you are amazing!

I've tweaked and updated some of my Phase 3 breakfast recipes. As I find and learn of additional ingredients and their nutritional values I am making adjustments. So far, my 7 days into Phase 3 I have had:
1. Sat - Peach Bread Pudding
2. Sun - Strawberry & Cream Stuffed French Toast (for the family too)
3. Mon - Peach Bread Pudding (yes....again! made a double batch for me & dad)
4. Tue - Strawberry Cheesecake
5. Wed - Pumpkin Pie
6. Thur - Strawberry & Rhubarb Custard Crumble
7. Fri - Peach & Apricot Cheesecake
8. Sat - Strawberry Bread Pudding
9. Sun - Strawberry & Cream Stuffed French Toast
10. Mon - Apricot & Nectarine Cheesecake <--made a triple batch
10. Tue - Apricot & Nectarine Cheesecake
10. Wed - Apricot & Nectarine Cheesecake
10. Thur - Quinoa Pudding using Tofu <--do not recommend, updating recipe to use eggs+egg whites

As I make them I will try to update my notes and refinements. I am really getting into this 'dessert for breakfast' kick!

Topping:
1/4 cup Granola

Filling:
1 Egg
4 oz AllWhites Egg Whites
1 packet Knox Unflavored Gelatin

2. Rough chop Strawberries & Rhubarb and place at bottom of ramekin.
3. In the mixing bowl, add remaining ingredients (Egg, Ricotta, Sweetener, WF Strawberry Spread) and mix throughly. I used my immersion blender in the bowl to get any curds pulverized into the custard.
3. Pour custard on top of fruit
4. Crush Granola and sprinkle on top of custard.
3. Bake at 350 degrees ~45 minutes
4. Allow to chill/set before serving.

Recipe Notes:
*I added 1 cup Rhubarb into the mix to give it extra "fruit" but since it's a veggie the carb & calorie count is still low, plus the Strawberry & Rhubarb flavor is such a natural combination
*The granola on top was really good - it had a great nutty/crunchiness
*Just a comical note - I didn't fully defrost my frozen fruit and ended up with extra liquid which I tried to drain out in the sink, instead the whole thing got dumped out! I scooped it back up and still ate it the next morning of course!

@LizRR - I am not sure why I can not figure out how to navigate my way around this site lol. I can not figure out how to reply to just one specific post (unless it was the last one posted where there is the 'post reply' button) so excuse my question of the obvious! Where can I find your recipes for all of the food you mentioned above (Peach Bread Pudding,
Strawberry & Cream Stuffed French Toast, , Peach Bread Pudding, Strawberry Cheesecake, Pumpkin Pie etc.

Also, I starting maintenance next Thursday and would love advice on any good threads to follow Thank you!!

Thank you!!!!

Hi Cathi - I started posting up recipes on page 3 of this thread, so if you go back and then look forward from there, I have several recipes on each page. I am keeping them all on this thread so there is at least one central place to go to - as the Phase 3 breakfasts also carry on into Phase 4/Life long maintenance. I am only ending my first week on Phase 3 soon, but there is a 'Maintainers' thread on this site:

Recipe Notes:
*For a 'pretty presentation' - you can invert these by submerging ramekin bottoms in hot water for a minute beforehand & have the fruit on top
*The eggs are removed, making this basically a 'no-bake' custard - this allows you to add in the protein & grain of your choosing to round this out to make Phase 3 guidelines.
*Protein of your choosing - eggs, lox, ham, etc.
*Grain of your choosing - graham cracker or granola topping, toast, oatmeal, etc.

Great! Thanks so much for the help! And for all of the great recipes. Can't wait to try them!

Sounds yummy! I start phase 3 on Tuesday, so I'm trying to plan out some breakfasts. I'll definitely have to try this one!

Today I made 2 corn tortillas with 1/4 cup instant Masa flour, top with my 1oz allowance of feta cheese, 1/2 slice turkey bacon on each and egg scramble. Little egg wraps! I finished off breakfast with 1 cup blueberries and 1/2 cup Greek yogurt. My choices ended up around 450 calories, 40 carbs, 35 protein.

Edit: I realized I flipped a couple numbers. Carbs are 35g net and Protein 40g. Fat is 15g if using a low fat feta.
