Breakfast Ideas

Molly182

I have a steamer, so I steam 6 - 8 eggs at a time and make hard boiled eggs and keep them in the fridge so it's quick and easy. Steamer makes them perfectly. Don't have to watch them or anything. Just set the timer.

My daughter has trouble with breakfast too. So I set out to make a healthy filling breakfast cookie that a 5 yr old would love and could eat on the way to school. Here's my recipe, feel free to sub in other dried fruit, nuts or chocolate chips, it's to her/our tastes :-)


It's adapted from a skinnytaste.com recipe.

It's 234 calories and I save it in the database under homemade :-)

White chocolate cranberry oatmeal breakfast cookie

Ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour
2 scoops protein powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup unpacked brown sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups quick oats
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
3/4 cup craisins

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°; line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, protein powder, salt and cinnamon. In a large bowl, with a mixer, cream together the butter and the sugars on medium speed.

Add the egg, followed by the applesauce and vanilla extract.

Working by hand, stir in the flour mixture and the oats until just combined and no streaks of flour remain; stir in the chocolate chips and craisins.

Drop heaping tablespoonfuls (approx 2 tbsp each) of the dough onto prepared baking sheets, flattening each cookie slightly. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until cookies become light brown at the edges.

Let cool on baking sheet for 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

I put them in individual baggies so they are easy to grab on the way out the door.

Makes 15 cookies.

Enjoy!

I think I'll go share this in recipes since I got it all typed out.

That looks positively scrumptious. Just to clarify - each cookie is 234 calories? Sorry if I missed something obvious...

My favorite is scrambled eggs, an orange and a slice of whole grain toast or english muffin. My next go to is a veggie and fruit smoothie... spinach, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, apples, bananas, grapes... whatever I have on hand. I can make up a pitcher the night before, put it in my to-go-bottle and just shake it up as I walk out the door for those "I'm running late mornings".

Protein bars are another substitute but I honestly don't like subbing breakfast for one of these though I have on occasion.

I have a "green" smoothie.

2-3 cups of spinach
1 tbs of ground flax
banana
frozen berries
Sunrype veggie/fruit juice
Fat free greek vanilla yogurt for protein

It's delicious, I just started drinking it so my stomach isn't used to having so little in the morning, but I will get better with it!

Yes one cookie but that's all you need. My son eats more but he never stops moving so he can handle it ;-)

I like Ezekiel bread (toasted) with a little cream cheese and a couple of slices of oranges. I have tea or coffee with it, and sometimes an egg.

Actually, the breakfast you initially described, your oatmeal, egg beaters, and fruit, is about as perfect as a breakfast as you can get, health wise (assuming you are talking about plain, unflavored oatmeal). Add a scoop of protein powder to the oatmeal, and nothing else. Add a small handful of nuts. If it gets boring, just switch out your fruit or your protein powder flavor, or your nuts.

almonds1

I do

eggs whites 1/2 cup or so
whole grain toast and peanut butter... somethings I eat a Banana also

harriet_jupp

I'm having 1 piece of toast with half a tin of spaghetti hoops and a boiled egg only 299 calories!
Also for anyone who likes sugary cereal buy truvia or any other stevia leaf sweetner it tastes great on bland cereal and no calories!

If you want something that you can just pick up try Subway. They have new breakfast sandwiches and they're pretty good.

Tupeloblossom

I eat oatmeal with cinnamon and chia seeds, 12 grain toad in the hole (you cut a hole in the bread with a small glass, throw the bread in a pan, crack a egg into the hole, when it is cooked a little you flip it all over, add some salt and pepper, a little hot sauce and eat it), greek yogurt with honey and granola or with chopped fruit.

akmett

Nuts, lightly salted with sea salt or non-salted. Just a few fill me up, perfect if you don't feel like eating much. Peanuts have 170 calories in 1 oz.

That sounds so good! I've not been a breakfast person for 30+ years, and have had to force myself to eat a little something with my morning coffee (mocha)... I find that I'm doing good to get a yogurt or boiled egg down, but around 10am I try to have a handful of almonds (23 of them, but who's counting!) Crazy thing is - I've only been doing this for 4 mos, and I miss it now when I don't have time to stop and grab a bite...

For me, 2 cups of coffee with Baileys fat free irish cream coffee creamer and a Dannon Greek fruit on bottom yogurt. I used to eat regular yogurt, but switched to greek a couple of months ago since it makes me feel full longer.
