Keeping it Keto: Breakfast on the Go

Yum

July 17, 2017 By ads 15 Comments

Summertime is all being on the go, but it can make eating healthy harder! So we’re coming to the rescue with a quick, high protein breakfast without the bun!

This post is written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. All opinions are entirely my own. This shop has been compensated by Acorn Influence, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone.

The other day I had to buy a bathing suit.

(Let’s pause as we all relish the angst that most of us get when this happens.)

Not exactly my favorite thing to do…however, I’ll admit this year’s UGH wasn’t so loud because I’ve actually lost a few LBS over the last few months. Lots of hard work, lots of working out, and lots of new changes to get me on the road to a healthier version of me. As a gal who does love her food and her wine, it’s hard to say no, but I’ve found out for me what’s been working the best is a diet of high fat, medium protein and low to no carb. For short, it’s referred to a Keto diet. While I could get all crazy about what you can and cannot eat, it’s really been easy for me to adapt to and not feel like I’m going to be eating salad for the rest of my life. (I’m actually never hangry and get to drink all the coffee without sugar I want!) 
Bulletproof-CoffeeIt’s been a process and certainly not a quick one, but for me and for my future self who greatly wants to be around when my kids are having kids, it’s the right one. Unfortunately I did have to break a lot of bad habits like running through the drive through every day as trying to find things without a bun or to eat a salad going down the road. 

(Believe me I tried it and my car and my blouse did not appreciate the experiment.) 

Now that it is summer and the kids are home I’m challenged with keeping this healthy eating routine going and still keep up with the crazy summertime (no)schedule. As a mama, I may love having my kids home during the break, but there is no doubt that the ever-changing days makes it hard to keep things structured for them much less for you. Whether it’s dropping them off at camp, getting to go for a quick day trip, or hurrying off to handle whatever the brings, I’m going to be working to keep us all sane and to maintain the healthy keto-inspired lifestyle in check. 

Breakfast-On-the-Go

Eggs are an excellent source of protein (and one of my favorite things to eat!)

While a Sunday prep day is a great answer to keeping it keto, there are just some days that it just doesn’t happen the way you planned, right? You wake up late, the kids can’t find their shoes, work calls or a girlfriend calls – whatever, you get my point! Life happens. And it happens a lot. 

So when a beautiful homemade meal of sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs with cheese doesn’t fit in the schedule (you know that one you wanted to make but gets thrown out the window), Jimmy Dean still makes it easy and tasty with their new Jimmy Dean Simple Scrambles (found only at Walmart near the bacon, sausage and lunch meats.)

Jimmy-Dean

It’s like my new best friend since I can throw it in the microwave and with just about a minute, I have a hot breakfast (available with bacon, sausage and meat lovers) that’s high protein (like 20 grams plus), no carb and I can still eat in the car! Plus this way I can resist the drive-through urge to break my better way of eating and living (and keep my kids from wanting it too!)

I was pretty ecstatic to have prepped myself for those crazy mornings when I don’t know how I’m gonna get it all done and I gotta get out the door.

Then the little one figured out there was something to these Jimmy Dean Simple Scrambles and stole it. (Oh well, her allergies still allow her to get to eat these, too!)

Plus beginning August 2, there’s a .75 cent rebate on these babies so you can stock up when you use Ibotta (and a $10 sign up bonus!) So get yours now (and then) and keep your bathing-suit figure in check while handling all the crazy that comes your way!

    Those look so good! I try to get in a ton of protein in a day, so this is the best way I can start the day.

    I had the chance to try one of these Jimmy Dean to go breakfast’s the other morning, and it was surprisingly tasty. A little bit waterier than I like, but I think it’s because I didn’t let it cook quite long enough. My boyfriend loved it also, and it’s an easy way to give him a hot meal on the way to work, because at 3:30a.m. the last thing I feel like doing is cooking!

    These are so easy too make. They also seem so good. Since our family is so busy sometimes we forget about breakfast on busy mornings.

    Thanks for the great ideas. Always looking for new on the go things, breakfast is more difficult to think of things.

At the @theashtonhotel they even have a “kids” version although mine wanted to try ours, too! Some of our favorite holiday traditions are changing since the kids are getting older, but in #DFW there are so many things to do, we still haven’t done them all.

If you need a good list of holiday of events to do in #DFW, we have them posted #ontheblog now - including some giveaways you don’t want to miss (coming soon!) #dfwevents #visitfortworth

While those 🍟 make us all smile, did you know that each pound of @mcdonalds fries and every Happy Meal you get, gives $ to the @rmhdallas?
____
As a parent I want them to understand the idea of sharing and giving, especially to those less fortunate than you. And this is an easy way for everyone to win this holiday.

Rolling down TX 290, we found @hyetxrum.

Thankfully I have my two front teeth, but I would love a crown that doesn’t take 3 weeks or half a paycheck to pay for it! Recently I went shopping for a new dentist for me, but I wanted to find a place that worked with our busy schedule (7 am - 7 pm and weekends), our budget (like discounted dentistry), and didn’t make me nauseous when the drill turned on.
______
At Glade Modern Dentistry not only did they get me after work, have multiple services (oral surgery, periodontist, endodontist, ortho) all under one roof - including getting a crown all in one day. 🤩Plus they don’t call it SMILE for nothing!

Instagram post 2170108022832248704_9652031 Do you know the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day? 🇺🇸(Unfortunately, many people don’t.)⁣
⁣
Memorial Day is to remember those who gave their life for our country while Veterans Day honors those who have served our country, living or fallen.⁣
⁣
It’s our turn to say “thank you” for everything they’ve done for us. ⁣
Also remember: Next Monday, 11/11, McDonald's will honor all active/retired Vets (with ID) by offering a free extra value meal (5:30 am -8:30 pm.)⁣
⁣
It’s their way of saying thank you or what we like to say “McGiveback.”⁣

🎃A haunted experience within Knapp Heritage Park, this real historical park from the 1800s becomes the site of the tale of Mary, a little 8 yr old who’s looking for her dead parents. Look for her and see what you’ll find when you get lost in the village.
☠️Warning: Hit the john before you go so you don’t pee your pants. And don’t bring anyone who scares easily. Really.
