    I'm in the office from 7:00 - 3:30. I take a grab-n-go breakfast to eat at my desk. Usually a 90 calorie Fiber One Bar (surprisgly, they're not bad) and a 100-calorie pack of almonds or almonds/walnuts. It holds me over until lunch around 11:30.

    M usual breakfast

    A citrus fruit- either tangerine or orange
    1 oz of almonds
    1 hard boiled egg

    along with coffee

    easy for me to eat and gives me sufficient amount of protein to take on a 8.5 hour school day.

    Good luck!!

    I make a green smoothie in the morning that is quick and good.

    It is 274 calories for the four ingredients listed below:

    1 banana cut up, frozen
    1 cup Almond milk (I use vanilla almond) OR Coconut Milk
    2 cup raw spinach (I started out using less)
    1-2 Tbl ground flax seed

    (Some days I change it up and add peanut butter....ground chia seed instead of flax seed.... frozen cherries or frozen mixed berries...oats.)



    I just found this recipe I would like to try. I will probably omit the chocolate chips. These can be made ahead of time and can be taken on the go.

    No-Bake Energy Bites

    Ingredients:

    * 1 cup (dry) oatmeal (I used old-fashioned oats)
    * 1 cup toasted coconut flakes
    * 1/2 cup chocolate chips
    * 1/2 cup peanut butter
    * 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
    * 1/3 cup honey
    * 1 tsp. vanilla

    Method:

    Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed. Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you would like. (Mine were about 1″ in diameter.) Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

    Makes about 20-25 balls.

    Ali’s Tip:

    Substitution ideas can abound for just about any of these ingredients! Feel free to substitute in your favorite nut butter (almond butter, sunflower seed butter, etc.) for the peanut butter. And you could also add in some wheat germ in place of some or all of the flaxseed. I would caution, though, against substituting agave nectar for the honey, as the honey’s thickness helps hold things together.

    Some other fun substitutions for the chocolate chips (or an addition to them) could include:

    * chopped dried fruit (apricots, dates, raisins, etc.)
    * dried berries (cranberries, cherries, etc.)
    * chopped almonds, pecans, or sunflower seeds
    * other chips (butterscotch, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, etc.)

    Update: Many of you in the comments have asked about substitutions for other ingredients. The joy of these bites being “no bakes” is that this recipe is super flexible. If you end up needing to omit one of the dry ingredients (such as coconut or flax), just add in some extra of whatever other dry ingredient is remaining (for example, the oats). If you feel like your energy bites are too dry, just add in extra honey or peanut butter. Enjoy!!!
