Grab and Go Breakfasts???

missclaudine

I used to never eat breakfast which is terrible but I not a morning person and am usually rushing out the door with breakfast in hand to be at my 8am classes on time. Lately I've been eating these "Bagel-Ful" things that are like bagel hot pockets stuffed with cream cheese and jelly at 170 calories a pop. Problem is they are so good and easy that I find it hard to save them just for breakfast and just grab one whenever I want a snack. Next thing you know I've devoured a box of them in a day. Not good.

Does anyone know of any relatively healthy, doesn't taste like twigs and sticks, quick grab and go type breakfast foods that might work for me???

I need some breakfast on the go ideas!!!

Thanks!

I like to make this breakfast sandwich ahead of time, freeze it and grab it to microwave at work:

English muffin
1 egg or egg beaters
1-2 strips of turkey bacon
Salsa

Toast the muffin, scramble the eggs and cook the bacon. Put the eggs and bacon on the muffin, smear with salsa. Stick in freezer. Microwave in a paper towel for 30 seconds or so. I like using a thick salsa so it doesn't get to drippy.

Dannon Lite and Fit Yogurt is also good. An apple, pear or banana works too :happy:

I make these for work, but if you take just a general cake mix (preferably spice), mix in 1 cup of pineapple tidbits, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup raisins and 1/4 cup shredded carrots and add 2 cups of dry powdered milk to the dry mix, add the water and bake, you come up with a dense breakfast bar that not only is a grab and go item, but has one serving of fruit & vegetables in in, along with the nutritional value of one 8 oz serving of milk.

Our guys love it, (and I serve it to about 4000 people every morning).

Change out adding coconut, chocolate chips, M&M's and other goodies for a sweetness and crunch change.

Good Luck on your goals.

A hot option that I do for myself is, on Saturday, I cook enough scrambled egg whites, lowfat chorizo, omelettes, etc for the entire week. I then portion them into ziplock baggies or paper bowls, cover, wrap, and put into the fridge. Then, early in the morning when I am getting ready for work, I simply heat them in the microwave and run out the door. (You can make your own breakfast burrito's this way as well).

The nice part is that you only messed up the kitchen once for 7 days worth of hot breakfast.

I'm a huge fan of Protein shakes. Doing what is left of my HerbaLife right now, then going to run out to GNC for their BOGO 50% on Total Lean. I like to mix mine in the blender with nonfat milk and frozen fruit. In five minutes you have something loaded with nutrients and it's portable!

I'm a grab and go-er myself. I don't like a big breakfast, so I usually do banana, string cheese, and coffee. Hard boiled eggs are great, too.

Good carbs, protein, and caffeine. They make the world go 'round.

I make giant batches of Steel Cut Oats. Split them into tupperware containers in the fridge for the week.

Grab one in the AM, throw it in the microwave for 1 min, and then throw in whatever I'm feeling (peanutbutter, almonds, raisins, pb2, yogurt, whatever)

Good to go!

I never have time for breakfast because I have so much to get done in the morning before work so, I drink an Atkins low carb shake on my way to work or even at my desk first thing. They are filling and delicious and are even low carb. They are 160 calories, have 15g of protien and have 1g of sugar. The Dark Chocolate is my favorite. Quick, Easy and Nutritious!

To everyone this may sound a bit weird but it is AMAZING!!!!!
1/2 C oats
1 T mini chocolate chips
1 T shredded coconut
1 T Peanut Butter

Put all that.....except PB into a small container like a 1 C tupperwear one ahead of time. Pull out of cupboard put hot water into it, mix it and then put the lid back on and let steep. After about 4-5 min (as your getting ready or driving to work) put the PB in and mix well.

I love it!!! I eat it almost daily.

I always grab some fruit to take with me. Apples, oranges, clementines, bananas, etc. It's also nice to either make or buy fruit and nut bars. I usually have to eat in the car or the bus otherwise I won't get the chance to eat until 9:30am, which is 5 hours into my baking shift. I don't really feel the need to eat breakfast usually, which is why fruit is my favorite option.

There are lots of recipes for make ahead egg cups, but if you don't want to make them you can buy Garden Lites--individual egg white cups full of veggies. I got some at Costco in the freezer section.

In reponse to the question of "What does bump mean"

Stolen from a website answer;

It's used to bring the question to peoples attention
People use it to "bump" the question to the top of the discussion list. The "Active Discussion" tab on the Askville home page is listed by time, with the most recent discussion at the top. So, by typing bump, it potentially brings the question to the attention of anyone browsing the Active Discussions.

Additionally, it pops the question up to the top of the "Discussions" list under "My Askville" for the people already involved in the question, either the question asker, question answerers, or other discussion participants.

People use "bump" to try to get other Askvillers' attention, whether to get more answers to the question, or simply to restart a stalled discussion.

"Bump" is just shorthand for "bump to the top of the list". Any comment would serve the same purpose, though. For example, if you were interested in trying to get more answers, you could type "hey, anyone else interested in giving an answer?". It would serve the same purpose by bumping it up to the top of the discussion lists.

These sound great! I may be missing something....but how much water is added?
