Changing Up The Breakfast Routine

Normally I drink a pre-made SlimFast chocolate protein shake for breakfast every morning. It used to be a GNC shake but they started making them with milk (I'm lactose intolerant) and they changed the type of carton it came in and I didn't like the new packaging.
But for the past 8 days I've been having stomach issues after drinking the SlimFast protein shake. My fear is that they've change formulas again. They've done it twice in 3 years. I have to have the right amount of no lactose or little milk.
So today I'm having bacon for breakfast as an experiment. If I don't have stomach issues this morning after breakfast, then I'll know it was the SlimFast shakes and I'll have to research more options.
I do get most of my vitamins of the day in the shake. It's the healthiest thing I eat. Plus I gave up real chocolate and I like the chocolate flavor of the shake.
What are you having for breakfast today?

I read the tags and thought, “Hmm, bacon-flavored Slim-Fast?”
I had lunch for breakfast as usual.

So we're on a quest for a new protein shake. I just bought one can at Kroger to try it. Will post about it separately. Really hoping I'm going to like it.

I had a protein bar. I either have that or a PB&J sandwich. I'm sorry your shakes are bothering you.

I had a bagel with margarine, since I used all my cream cheese..Hey, I just remembered I had some other cream cheese in there...well too late now..and some yogurt. That looks like a caloric, but delicious breakfast on there.

I usually don't have breakfast and one main meal of the day, When I do have breakfast I love bacon, fried potatoes and eggs sunny side up,
