6-point waffle and chicken apple sausage breakfast

this is a super quick and easy breakfast with enough protein to get you through 'til lunch - and the fruit keeps it very satisfying for that early morning sweet tooth without needing syrup. But there is maple syrup baked in to the sausage - it's really delicious!

•  1/2 natural, pre-cooked chicken apple sausage link (2 pts), sliced and heated in microwave for about 25 seconds

•  whole grain toaster waffle (3 pts) with 1/2 tspn organic buttery spread (1 pt)

•  nectarine and banana slices

6-point sweet and savory breakfast

i enjoy fixing a nice big breakfast on sunday mornings. but today, instead of loading up on sausage and waffles with maple syrup, i went the fruit and veggie route to get that sweet and savory flavor combination i like so much.

i sautéd the asparagus for a few minutes first, before add the eggs. you don't want the stalks to get too soft - i think they're much nicer al dente.

a little sweet paprika and a teensy sprinkle of blue cheese crumbles tastes great with the asparagus, too.

•  1 egg (2 pts) and 1-2 egg whites (1 pt) scrambled with chopped baby asparagus stalks

•  2/3 cup (3 pts) baked, peeled and chopped yam or sweet potato

•  fruit salad - banana, kiwi, blueberries

3-point egg & spinach scramble

my idea of a perfect scramble - quick and easy! a quick spritz of cooking spray is free, and the teensy sprinkle of blue cheese crumbles adds a lot of flavor without costing you any points.

i like to lightly wilt the spinach in the pan first, then add the eggs. i buy both regular eggs and the egg whites in the little carton, so i don't have to separate and waste extra yolks.

•  one egg (2 pts) and two egg whites (1 pt) scrambled with baby spinach

•  1 tspn blue cheese crumbles

•  cherry tomatoes with light sprinkle of sea salt

•  blackberries
