I'm trying to get out of my box of multi-grain Cherrios and milk or chocolate protein powder mixed with oatmeal (the latter is VERY tasty- I just ate it too frequently so I'm getting tired of it...). I want to add more protein, but don't like to eat much meat in the morning. I'm a fruit, yogurt, or complex carb kinda gal. :)

Feel free to share your recipes if it requires cooking- hopefully not in the morning. I'm the kind of person that rolls out of bed and gets showered just in time to run out the door to work. :D

Thanks in advance!

    It only takes 5-10 minutes to scramble up some eggs. I do this almost daily, then reheat at at the office and eat.
    Pre-dice some veggies that you like and toss them all in a container.

    In the morning toss them in a skillet, sautee.
    While the veggies cook, crack & mix your eggs. Add them to the skillet. Scramble.
    Add cheese, black beans, salsa, sour cream, etc

    Water

    I like food with my water :laugh: . I drink roughly a gallon of water a day, but I couldn't just start my day out with only water.

    I rotate between 2 meals:

    Greek yogurt with blueberries and low fat granola.

    Homemade breakfast sandwich consisting of a toasted Thomas' bagel thin, egg white patty (usually homemade, but I keep the frozen ones around in case I don't have time), 2 slices of Canadian bacon and a piece of Sargento thin sliced 2% fat Colby-Jack cheese.

    Both run 225 calories. Oh and coffee.... always coffee.

    3 slices Natural uncured bacon & 2 cage free eggs cooked with a tablespoon of coconut oil! Sometimes I throw some onion, bell pepper, tomato & mushrooms in with it!

    I'm Paleo btw!

    I eat Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt every day for breakfast. I don't eat unitl about 10 AM, and I need something that I can eat quickly between meetings. It's delish and fills me up for a while.

    I've been making "cookies" that I can bring to work to have breakfast when I'm ready, and they are so good! Mix 3 mashed bananas and 1 cup oatmeal, shape into cookies and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. You can add 1/2 cup of mix-ins...this week it's sunflower seeds and mini dark chocolate chips

    Try Baked Blueberry & Peach Oatmeal. This is from Taste of Home . Make on the weekend and have enough to just microwave during the week. I enjoy this

    My go-to breakfasts -

    Two eggs
    Sourdough or wheat toast with butter
    Black coffee
    Fruit (lately it's grapes, berries, banana, grapefruit or whatever I've got on hand)

    Oatmeal
    1/3 cup greek yogurt
    1 Tbs honey
    Fresh fruit (berries and/or bananas are my fave)
    Walnuts
    Cinnamon

    If I've got a busy morning, I'll do overnight oats in a mason jar - same basic recipe, but you do most of it the night before
    1/2 c oats
    1/2 cup milk or milk substitute
    1/3 cup greek yogurt
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    Put it all in the jar, cap tightly, give it a shake and put it in the fridge. Next morning, stir it up, add fruit, honey & nuts, grab a spoon and go. I love that it's totally portable or just a quick fix to eat at home.

    Ever tried "Overnight Oats"? They're the BEST! And the variety of what you can do with them is endless....

    I'm pretty basic when I bother to eat breakfast. I usually combine an egg, some Laughing Cow, a light English muffin, and some variety of vegetable (tomato & onion slices, Recipe Ready blends, a few pepper strips, etc.) in various ways. Sometimes I have a little fried ham or turkey bacon; sometimes I leave off the cheese and swap in some avocado; sometimes it's a breakfast sandwich with a fried egg and sometimes it's a big scramble with a muffin half on the side.
