I'm looking into recipes for energy/protein bars to eat for breakfast and take on bike rides. I'm going to try a few this weekend and I'll be sure to post a thread in the recipes section.

Also remember, if breakfast is hard for you, it could be because you are thinking only of "breakfast" foods.

I hardly ever eat a traditional "breakfast". I just eat leftovers, or lunch/dinner type foods.

I love an 8oz serving of plain greek yogurt with blueberries and raw cashews. I like to put a few drops of liquid Stevia in it too. It's filling and delicious. I like to add a slice of toast to that too.

I love eggs too! They're good with anything! And they're healthy too.

My go to breakfast is fat free greek yogurt, buy either Fage or Chobani, plain(there are cheaper versions but if you read the nutrional info you will see the cheaper brands have more sugar and less protein, add some fruit to it and I use some vanilla liquid stevia to make it taste sweeter. This will fill you up and is also easy to take with you to have for lunch at work.

2 Cage Free Omega-3 eggs
You can add veggies, meat, cheese whatever you like
Dash(s) of Hot Sauce
Pinch of:
Garlic Powder
Salt
Pepper
Non stick cooking spray or enough butter to coat the bottom of a small frying pan

Whisk it all up for about 1-2 minutes and pour it into the Frying pan or Omelet pan if you have one. Cook it on medium heat for a couple of minutes covered. Flip and add your stuffing. Let cook one more minute and then fold it over and put it on a plate.

Not my Prettiest Omelet but it tastes good. Sometimes i will steam some steamed asparagus to it if i have the time.

You can do awesome advanced searches on tasteofhome.com - to find any course, in lower fat and/or lower sodium recipes, recipes to make within a certain amount of time, and you can limit to less than 5 ingredients.... I love their advanced search!

I generally have home made granola with almond milk.

‎8 cups Oats (old fashioned)
1 Tbl Ground Cinnamon
1/2 cup Ground Flaxseed or Ground Wheat Germ
1 1/2 cup Honey
1 cup Canola Oil (I'm going to try coconut oil and less honey next week)
2 cups Peanuts
1/2 cup Almonds
1/2 cup Walnuts
1/2 cup Pecans
1 cup Dried Berries.

Preheat oven to 250° F. Mix together oats, cinnamon and flaxseed/wheat germ. Whisk together honey and oil. Mix honey/oil with oats. Bake for 1.5 hours. Immediately transfer to a large bowl and mix in nuts and berries.



Really the only thing you need is the oats, cinnamon, oil and honey. Everything else is interchangeable/optional.

For days I don't feel like preparing anything I eat oatmeal crunch cereal, I like the almond flavour. It's filling, loaded with fiber and tastes great!!!

Baked Egg Cups

This is an AWESOME recipe that you can make ahead of time then refrigerate or freeze and then pop into the microwave later for a quick, on-the-go breakfast or snack.

Ingredients:
Canadian Bacon - I found some that was 60 cal for 4 slices
Egg - 1 for each cup - 70 cal
Shredded Cheddar cheese - 1/8 cup for each cup - 55 cal

Directions:
In a non-stick muffin/cupcake pan, line each cup with 2 slices of canadian bacon. Crack 1 egg into each cup on top of the canadian bacon, top with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese

Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 15-17 min. Serving size: 2 cups; calories per serving 300.

You can also serve these open faced on multi-grain muffins (100cal) for a 400 cal breakfast. This is LOADED with protein to keep you going throughout your day!


*I got this recipe from Lynnskitchenadventures.com

I don't eat breakfast but when I used to my favourites were:

poached eggs on a bed of rindless bacon and wholemeal toast
oats with peanut butter
oats with chocolate protein powder mixed in
fruit smoothie made with green tea instead of juice
protein shake & banana

I just discovered this recently and its amazing and you wouldn't think so.

Just combine:
A serving of brown rice
A tablespoon of peanut butter
A little bit of honey

Its about 400 calories but it will give you so much energy and for sure keep you full till lunch. I like it because I'm not a fan of oatmeal and its a great substitute.
