Easy High-Protein Breakfast & Coffee Using Aldi Finds

Some mornings call for something quick, comforting, and still supportive of a bariatric lifestyle. Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite easy Aldi breakfasts that checks all those boxes.

Protein Waffles from Aldi

I recently found protein waffles at Aldi, and they’ve quickly become a staple. Two waffles provide 12 grams of protein, and they toast up perfectly. I like to keep it simple by topping them with Sugar-Free Log Cabin Syrup—no fuss, no guilt.

Cozy French Vanilla Coffee

My coffee today was made with Barissimo French Vanilla coffee, Aldi’s brand. To make it feel like a coffeehouse treat, I added:

  • A splash of Jordan’s Iced Cinnamon Roll Skinny Syrup
  • A splash of Jordan’s Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Skinny Syrup
  • Heavy cream
  • A pinch of salted caramel salt

Stir it all together, and it’s nice, cozy, and satisfying without added sugar.

Why This Works for Bariatric Living

  • High-protein and low-sugar
  • Quick and realistic for everyday life
  • Budget-friendly Aldi finds
  • Feels indulgent without derailing goals

If you’re navigating post-op life or simply trying to eat with intention, meals like this prove that simple can still be delicious.
