Bloating Breakfast High Protein

Warm Lemon-Ginger Egg White Custard Bowl

This warm, silky egg white custard is designed for GLP-1 users who need a gentle, low-fat, low-fiber breakfast that won’t overload a slower stomach. Lightly flavored with lemon and ginger, it’s easy to digest, high in protein, and helps minimize bloating and gas while still providing steady morning nutrition.

Ingredients

  • 250 g liquid egg whites — ready to use from carton
  • 200 ml lactose-free low-fat milk — plain, unsweetened
  • 80 g plain low-fat greek yogurt — room temperature if possible
  • 15 g maple syrup — pure optional
  • 4 g fresh ginger — very finely grated or juiced, fibers removed
  • 10 g lemon — zest only, very finely grated
  • 6 g cornstarch — mixed smooth with a little milk
  • 0.5 g salt — fine optional

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the liquid egg whites, lactose-free low-fat milk, greek yogurt, maple syrup (if using), lemon zest, ginger, cornstarch, and salt until completely smooth with no lumps.
  2. Pour the mixture into a small non-stick saucepan and place over low heat; cook gently, stirring slowly and constantly with a silicone spatula, scraping the bottom and sides to prevent sticking.
  3. Continue cooking for 8–12 minutes on low heat until the custard thickens to a yogurt-like consistency and the egg whites are fully set but still soft; avoid boiling to keep it easy on the stomach.
  4. Remove from heat, let sit for 2–3 minutes to cool slightly, then divide into two small bowls; taste and add a few extra drops of lemon or a bit more maple syrup if needed.
  5. Serve warm, not hot; if very sensitive to bloating, eat slowly in small spoonfuls and stop when comfortably satisfied, saving the rest for later.

Tips for GLP-1 users

For GLP-1 users prone to bloating, keeping this custard warm (not hot), low in fat, and smoothly blended reduces gastric workload and trapped gas, while ginger and lemon can gently support digestion.

If you’re in a strong nausea or bloating phase, start with half a portion and reheat the rest later; smaller, spaced-out amounts are often better tolerated with slower gastric emptying.
