breakfast "desserts" not exactly but so good they seem like it. what are yours??

Okay, so lately i've been having parfaits but made with cottage cheese instead of yogurt. 

i chop up about a cup of strawberries, top it with 1/2 cup cottage cheese, and fiber one, sprinkle a little sugar on top for sweetness and it is OH MY GOSH delicious. like a breakfast dessert REALLY but it's quite healthy and balanced, not at all an actual "dessert"

it's only about 150 calories too...

1/2 serving fiber one :30

1 serving cottage cheese: 90

1/2 cup strawberries: 30

so, do you have any of these morning treats that are that good and feel sinful but aren't??

This is mine: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail. asp?recipe=631075

I also started to add a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. I use it as a spread on couple of toasts.

UD

1/2 c yogurt (i use dannon vanilla--100 calories)

1/2 c strawberries (25)

2 TB slivered almonds (85)

2 TB dry oats (18)

Layer all ingredients in a tall glass.  Enjoy!  

Total:  228 calories...delicious and nutritious!

I like to mix splenda or equal and cocoa powder with oatmeal.

Diet hot chocolate mix made by swiss miss is really good mixed with unsweetened almond breeze. I add 2 packs of equal because i like things really sweet.

Something called a "Good Morning Wrap"....and it sure does make a good morning..LOL! It's a tortilla with cottage cheese, crushed pineapple, honey, and granola. SO GOOD!

Or peanut butter and banana on a tortilla...anything with PB really...

A sliced banana on wholewheat toast with a sprinkling of cinnamon. Good for me and so so yummy!

I love my breakfast "cookie"!

Without protein powder: http://mamasweeds.com/2009/05/07/the-infamous -breakfast-cookie/

With protein powder: http://fitnessista.com/?page_id=507

I've made lots of variations on the recipe but here's my typical "cookie": 1/3 c rolled oats (don't use quick oats), 1 tbsp almond butter, 1 scoop vanilla vegan protein powder, 1 tbsp ground flax, 1 small banana (mashed, ~1/2 c), a little cocoa powder, cinnamon and a bit of almond milk.
