As my kids return to school next week my mornings will become hectic. I know my children will not eat the same items I do, so making one meal for everyone will not work.
What are some quick low fat/cal. breakfast ideas? I did Slimfast drinks before, but i feel there's a healthier option. Thanks!

    Quest bars are amazing! The amount of fiber in them really helps with keeping you full!

    I cook up hard boiled eggs ahead and grab a couple of them in the morning with some fruit or yogurt and a cup of joe. Holds me over pretty well.

    Freezer egg dishes -McMuffins or burritos

    I baked 9 egg "patties" using a 9x9 pan. Cut into squares & stash in the freezer with slices of Canadian bacon. I use the "patties" for McMuffins. I keep high fiber English muffins in the fridge, while toasting I add a slice of 2% cheese & heat the egg and bacon.

    Pre-cooked steel cut oats. My slow cooker is too hot. But several people use an overnight method of cooking and stash the leftovers to re-heat everyday. If this doesn't have enough protein (to be filling) .....add a scoop of protein powder after heating.

    Hard boiled eggs--I usually cook half a dozen at a time and peel them and put in a bowl or baggie. I eat one or two in the am along with a slice of whole wheat toast- (kids usually have a waffle so the toaster is already out) Add a cup of coffee and voila!

    I also like overnight oats-- oats, almond milk, fruit and you have breakfast waiting in the fridge.

    another option- protein shakes that are pre-made along with a piece of fruit or a few almonds.
