What's a healthy sugar free filling breakfast, possibly that I could make in advance and freeze. For a nursing mother who's always hungry but trying to lose weight Rolling Eyes

If you're in the first 6 months, don't actively try to lose weight, please, or at least not without guidance from a lactation consultant or nutritionist who specializes in nursing mothers.

If all you're doing is cutting added sugar but otherwise eating when you're hungry, you're probably ok.

Oatmeal is great- it's filling, nutritious, and possibly cholesterol-lowering. If it's a bother to prepare it hot every morning, or you just don't want to eat it hot, try either overnight oats or baked oatmeal. I make a quicker version of overnight oats where I soak the oats for 10-15 minutes in milk- you may need to play around with it to get the proportions you like but 1:1 is a reasonable place to start. Add fresh or dried fruit and/or cinnamon and it's delicious.

Someone posted a recipe for baked oatmeal a while ago, with milk and eggs. I think I tried it once but can't remember.

If you're looking for something else, yogurt with cut-up fruit is also wonderful.
