In the spirit of branching out for breakfast (check out the PB&J Breakfast Crumble I posted the other day), here’s another not-so-typical option: a sweet and savory banana scramble with plenty of protein in the form of chicken breast and egg whites. Normal? Not so much. Yum? Totally.
I don’t think inside the box very well, as you may have noticed. But this world needs unique people in order to be interesting, right? I completely agree with a quote I saw on a journal the other week: “Life is short. Might as well be amusing.”
I completely understand that you might think the idea of bananas and chicken and stuff for breakfast is absolutely disgusting, but please don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. The flavors combine exceptionally well, especially with the addition of some cinnamon. Some sugar-free maple syrup is really good on top, as well. This dish really does taste better than it looks. I didn’t have the foggiest notion how to get it to look like something half presentable, so I gave up in favor of speed and efficiency so I could eat my breakfast before it got totally cold.
This breakfast scramble is super easy and is a good way to use up leftovers that might be accumulating in your fridge and on your countertops. I.e. half-eaten bananas (we Trim Healthy Mamas tend to have a lot of half-bananas sitting around…), bits of leftover chicken breast, egg whites left over from making pudding, etc.

Just starting on my path with thm…60 yrs old, over the past 20 yrs gained app 40ish pounds (as they say, if you don’t watch, expect 5# a year to show up and it did!!!)Any who, retired this year from the State of Pa as a case worker in Welfare as I want to pursue my dream of opening a Bed and Breakfast. I have 3.5 acres but it won’t perk and I don’t want to put $30,000 into a sand mound as that is a Huge chunk of my building money, so now I am looking into our nearest towns (live in SW Pa, south of Pgh but north of WV) when I do get opened what I would like to do is during the week have someone such as yourself as a guest and do mini seminarish type programs. The Lord gave me the name of “Blessings in the Country” and that will be even if it is in the city. I can tell you that you are truly a blessing to me and countless others. Thank you for all you do and look forward to more recipies, especially the ice cream ones!!! Carol lee
