Breakfast Ideas

I make a low calorie quiche with no crust and lots and lots of veggies in it... cut it up into portion size breakfasts and freeze them. So every evening I can take one out of the freezer and in the morning pop it the microwave and there ya go! YUMMY!!!

This recipe has made a smoothie lover out of me. http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/23539/strawberry-oatmeal-breakfast-smoothie

It's worth waking up 5 minutes earlier to make, and with a good travel cup, you can take it with you to drink on your way to wherever.

Sounds delicious!

I love to add Cinnamon to my multi-grain cheerios in the morning...Yum
And.....

1.1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon per day can lower your bad cholesterol (or LDL).
2.Cinnamon may help treat Type 2 Diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels and increasing the amount of insulin production in the body.
3.Cinnamon has antifungal properties, and it's been said that candida cannot live in a cinnamon environment.
4.Cinnamon can reduce the proliferation of leukemia and lymphoma cancer cells.
5.Cinnamon has an anti-clotting effect on the blood.
6.Honey and Cinnamon combined has been found to relieve arthritis pain.

I make egg muffin bunch ahead and freeze them,

You could do an overnight oatmeal. Soak the oatmeal and whatever spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc) in a milk (dairy, soy, almond, etc) over night and add some fruit to it in the morning. You can warm it up in the morning too if you want but it's not necessary.

Egg muffin cups - they refrigerate and freeze very well. You could add/omit any ingredients you want I imagine.
1 container egg whites
2 eggs
1 cup frozen chopped spinach
1 cup frozen chopped broccoli
1/4 cup feta
1 roll of lean turkey breakfast sausage
2 mushrooms chopped

Preheat oven to 375 degrees, spray muffin tins with nonstick spray (I use canola oil spray)
Brown turkey sausage, mix in with the rest of the ingredients. Parse out into muffin tins (mine made 15 muffins)
Bake for 25-25 minutes depending on how done you like your muffins.

I usually pair these with an english muffin or another type of muffin like these:

Very easy grab and go! I also like refrigerator oats which others have mentioned.

Lots of overnight ideas for oatmeal. However...I buy the 100% whole grain quick oats...mix 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water, add to it 1/2 teasp cinnamon & nutmeg; microwave it for 1.5 minutes; remove and add a little Mrs. Butterworth's sugar free syrup. Nice and tasty, keeps me going all morning and the whole process takes less than 3 minutes. If you prefer add fruit, sugar free jelly/jam, or peanut butter. FAST -- FILLING -- LOW CALORIES.

My favorite is a slice of 100% whole grain wheat toast spread with avocado (usually half a small one), salt and pepper, topped with a fried egg (fried in Pam spray of course). Really filling.

Would also go nice with poached poached egg.

Breakfast Casserole:
Egg Beaters
Low Fat Cheese
Vegetable
Low Fat Sausage/Bacon

Mix all together and back in the ove at 350 for about 30-40 minutes. I make a big pan and have it for the week. Add some salsa on top and you have a healthy and filling breakfast.

I've made baggie omlets before but we throw the bags in a pot of boiling water. I've never put them in the microwave...will have to try it sometime!

Yukongil

multi-grain waffle and peanut butter. You can't get much quicker other than a piece of fruit

same with fat free cottage cheese, or greek yogurt.

Eggs with black beans (seriously fast, cook the egg, microwave the black beans, combine for super fiber/protein powerhouse)

You can check my diary for breakfast ideas on the weekdays that are fast and tasty

On the weekends, I make a batch of whole wheat pancakes and freeze them in packs of 2. II also precook turkey sausage links and freeze them in packs of two. I put a pack of eack in the fridge to thaw the night before. At work, I heat the pancakes in the toaster, the sausage in the microwave, and eat them with sugar free jelly. 332 calories. The pancake recipe can be found on Cooking Light.com

About a month ago I found a recipe for PROTEIN PANCAKES that actually taste good and are not much work. Here are the ingredients:

1 large whole egg
2 large egg whites
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 serving Meijer quick oats
1/2 cup frozen blue berries (optional)
Makes 4-6 pancakes, 315 calories and 42 grams of protein.

Spray a non stick pan and set on medium or just a bit less. Make the oatmeal in the microwave. While that is cooking, mix the protein powder and the eggs together. When that is done add the oatmeal to the mixture and mix well with a fork. When the pan is ready, pour your mixture into pancake sizes and if you choose, put frozen blueberries on each pancake. Flip when bottom side is lightly brown. Instead of blueberries you can put some cinnamon on one side and use some sugar free syrup. It will taste very close to French Toast.

I typically do a double batch and put the extras in the fridge to have handy for a snack or the next days' breakfast.
Enjoy!
