Quick & Easy (and filling!) Breakfast

mk_hammer

Hello, everyone. I'm new here.

I'm looking for suggestions for breakfast. I have no time in the morning, and I grow tired of oatmeal every day. What are some ideas for quick and easy breakfasts that will get me through my morning?

Thanks! :happy:

I do string cheese and almonds, sometimes adding fruit such as banana, strawberries, or pear. Sometimes I just grab a banana and a "poo poo brownie" (Fiber One Brownie LOL) and run out the door

Cereal + fruit or cup of coffee?

Greek yogurt (I prefer fruit on the bottom or side) or protein shake.

The hard boiled idea -- Was gonna suggest it but they beat me to it as I was checking my phone =P

Also prep some fruit cups during the weekend; maybe you can't do it with apples (sliced) but like some grapes in a little container

My breakfast is always quick and easy by necessity:

plain oatmeal and 0% plain greek yogurt
smoothie with fruit, juice and 0% yogurt
whole wheat toast with neufchatel and a poached egg
fruit and yogurt
unsweetend applesauce and oatmeal
whole wheat graham crackers with peanut butter
brown rice cakes with raw tahini and avocado
whole grain cereal and unsweentened almond milk
flax for life or a homemade, whole grain muffin

Jennaissance

Oh, I totally forgot kefir!

I do a protein shake with fruit and spinach holds me for hours after my workout
my favorite is:

vanilla whey protein powder - 1 scoop
blueberries frozen - 1 cup
spinach raw - 1 cup
splenda - 2 packages
chia seeds - 1 tablespoon
water

And don't forget a lot of those quick frozen things you can make yourself. When I had a waffle iron I'd find an awesome, healthy waffle recipe to make for breakfast and then freeze the leftovers... just pop them in the toaster oven and it's like they are fresh off the griddle!

I know you said oatmeal is boring, but with the cold weather coming it's sooo gooood! I do it with 1/2 sliced banana, 1 tbsp peanut butter and a pinch of salt with just hot water and 1/2 cup uncooked oats. I put it in a to go container and eat in the car! Its satisfying and just under 400 calories so it keeps you full for a while!

also, I like non fat european style (trader joes) plain yogurt with a touch of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries or raspberries, and a crushed up nature valley granola bar (both of them!). again, just under 400 calories!

In a hurry? sprouted wheat toast (2) with 1 tablespoon almond butter and 1/2 tbsp pumpkin butter on each piece. exactly 400 calories!! (can also replace pumpkin butter for 1/2 banana thinly sliced, or fig butter is really yummy too!)

costco has harvest wheat cereal by kashi which is really good too. 28 pieces, with unsweetened soy milk and chopped pecans all for, you guessed it, 400 calories!

There are lots of nice recipes for crustlesd mini-quiches -- make up a couple of different kinds, freeze them, and you have a good meal in a microwave minute or three.

Greek yogurt plus fruit and nuts is good.

Leftover veg stirred into a tofu or egg scramble - maybe with a little feta cheese - is quick and easy, too.

MMmmm chocolate fudge Fiber One brownie is yummy, just had one yesterday.

I do a small bowl of cereal, hardboiled egg with fruit, protein shake, sometimes just a big mixed serving of fruit, egg with a piece of toast, etc.

I usually have big breakfasts, but when I work at 6 my quick breakfast is usually whole wheat toast with peanut butter, cottage cheese and a piece of fruit.

I've been doing an egg bagel breakfast, thin whole wheat bagel, 2 eggs fried, 1/4 cup shredded cheese, and fresh spinach leaves it totals 355 calories, yum

Sounds weird, but I often eat leftover curry for breakfast. Takes like 2 min to microwave. Its awesome! I hate eggs, but my boyfriend can fry eggs in no time. You could also hard boil them and just keep them in the fridge to grab on the go with a piece of fruit.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I just found this online, and I'm going to try it this week!

I'm going to make a dozen tomorrow and heat them up throughout the week. I'm thinking I'll use Canadian bacon and RF cheddar cheese. I'll post to let everyone know how they turned out!
