What do you like to have for breakfast?

ktanderson05

Breakfast is what I struggle with the most because I am one of those people who wait until the very last minute to get up then I'm rushing around trying to get ready, etc....So lately my breakfast has been a cliff bar with a piece of fruit and I just noticed how many calories that was, and all I could say was OMG! So I need to come up with a better solution of what to have for breakfast that is quick, easy, and will keep me right around 400 calories.

So suggestions please?

How about a high fiber cereal, eggs (you can hard boil them and have them in the fridge), greek yogurt and fruit, even a whole grain english muffin with peanut or another nut butter. If you are going to go the "bar" route, try one that is low in sugar. I like the Pure Protein brand.

When I'm busy, I make PB&J and take it with me (but good whole wheat bread, natural PB and pure fruit spread). I make it the night before, too.

FRUIT!!!! I promise to eat fruit, whole fruit, and nothing but fruit, so help me god. Haha, seriously, fruit is the best breakfast. It has a high water content, and a high fiber content, so it will fill you up, and the carbohydrates give you energy to do your day. I'm in a better mood on fruit for breakfast days.

And, fruit is SO easy to take on the run! If you are in a hurry, and you want a 400 calorie breakfast, just grab about 4 bananas. Cheap, easy, and easy to clean up after. No requirement to make dishes dirty.

I usually have either scrambled eggs and toast or hard boiled eggs and toast.

Easy to clean up on the preparation end, but maybe not the other end lol.

I think I'm just going to do a couple hard boiled eggs with some fruit in the morning, or a protein shake. Keep it simple and low in carbs I think....haha

A banana n either a dannon okios fat free yogurt or kashi go lean crunch. Just recently started MAKING myself eat breakfast -never used to!

A quick summer breakfast I love is to put one half banana sliced, strawberries, some blueberries (frozen are yummy) and top it off with about one fourth cup of plain yogurt. If you need a little sweetening --a spoonful of raw sugar or brown sugar. This is quite filling. If you need more carbs...add a piece of wheat toast with peanut butter. :happy:

Oatmeal...cooks for 85 secs in microblaster
Add cinnamon, vanilla, protein powder, almomd milk and dried blueberries = quick and yum!!

If I didnt have the time to make myself breakfast, I would probably go with a protein shake. I pretty much have the same breakfast every morning, egg whites, ham, feta cheese and tomatillo salsa

If you have time, you should try these pancakes:

1 mashed banana
1/3 cup oats
1 small egg
A little bit of wholemeal flour to get the right texture
Some cinnamon

Mix and cook like regular pancakes - circa 400 calories (maybe a teeny bit more depending what you put on top of em).

Or if you've got time and prefer something savoury:

2 poached eggs
1-2 pieces of wholegrain toast (depending on the calories in your brand of choice)

To poach the eggs: boil some water with a pinch of salt (and about a teaspoon or so of white vinegar if you have it) in a saucepan. Add the eggs and cook for 3-5 minutes. Remove from saucepan with a slotted spoon.

If you're short on time, just regular oatmeal is pretty easy:

1/3 cup oats
2/3 of either water or milk (or half and half)
Pinch salt
Maybe some Cinnamon

Cook for a couple of minutes on a medium setting if you've got a powerful microwave. Stir. Then an extra 40 secs - 1 minute in the microwave. Top with brown sugar (and banana if you're extra hungry). I also like adding in the brown sugar and a bit of cocoa before cooking and it tastes like a chocolate pudding
