This morning, I made a "baked" apple in the microwave and mixed it into my Greek yogurt. Here's The recipe--1 apple, cored and sliced, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp cornstarch, 1 packet of Splenda, 1 tbsp of water. Mix well and microwave for 2 minutes.
I poured the "syrup" over one of my multigrain waffles and mixed the apples into my yogurt. Of course, I spread peanut butter on my other waffle. I've got to have my peanut butter!
Regarding the <15g carbs from Dairy - on page 3 of my Phase 3 worksheet (link below), on the 2nd paragraph (right above the table with the suggested serving sizes) it does state the following:
"Meals should consist of 30g or less of grain carbohydrates, 20 g or less of fruit carbohydrates, 15 g or less from dairy carbohydrates. Aim for about 25 g of protein and try to keep total fat less than 15 grams. Breakfast should be between 400 and 500 calories in Phase 3."
Also, regarding the Cottage Cheese - on page 4 of that same Phase 3 worksheet it lists Cottage Cheese as a suggested serving under Dairy. But agree that the protein does go towards your total.
Thank you LIz - I have to say the biggest disappointment I have with the Ideal Protein program is the inconsistency of their materials - it is easy to break a rule.
Directions
1. Mix together Eggs, Egg Whites, FF Cream Cheese, Sweetener, & Vanilla together. I used my immersion blender to get it all blended.
2. Add in Pancake Mix and gently mix together with a fork (don't want to over mix), pour into pie pan.
3. Cut Apricots into thin slices and arrange on top of pancake mixture.
4. Bake at 350 degrees ~18-20 minutes until puffy.
5. Lightly spread WF Pancake Syrup on top for a 'glaze'
Oh My! Oh My! Oh My! Just printed this out for when I can have it
Just warning you - that entire pie plate is ONE SERVING, that you have to eat all at once in one sitting (Phase 3 rules, not mine). But it is CRAZY DELICIOUS!

*These were some of the best pancakes I have EVER had. They come out 'melt in your mouth', which isn't a way I have described pancakes before, even using the 'low-carb' pancake mix.
*i didnt need any WF Pancake Syrup, but I did put sweetener in the mix.
Well, I am in the midst of a phase off for vacation, but still 14 pounds from goal. I am at work, and forgot my breakfast. I'm just going to grab a packet of extra IP stuff from my desk and go on. OOPS!
How could I just forget my breakfast?? Under the gray...I'm blond!
what do your coaches think about Silk's Fruit and Protein drink? Could it be both dairy and fruit? 8 oz has 24 g carbs and 5 g of protein for 130 calories. That used to be part of my breakfast before IP.

I looked at the nutritional values - it seems way too high in carbs (there is sugar in the ingredients along with the natural fruit sugars). You'd be better off making your own smoothie with Splenda or Stevia to cut the carb count.
Another good one that I've been doing ... this makes 12 pancakes. 1 serving is 6 pancakes. 1 serving nutrition is:
240 calories
6 g fat
16 g net carbs
0 sugars
8 g protein
1/2 cup coconut flour
6 eggs
3 tbsp stevia
1 tsp (or more to taste) vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup almond milk
1/2 tsp salt
whisk liquids, then add powders and whisk. Mixture should be the consistency of regular pancake mix (I find if I use extra large eggs, I need to add some flour)
