Overnight Oats are a great go to breakfast when you're in a rush. The combinations are endless too. All you have to do is soak your oats (I use 1/2 cup) in milk of your choice (I use unsweetened almond) with some chia seeds. Leave in the fridge overnight and the oats will have absorbed the liquid. You can also use Greek yoghurt/ cottage cheese and you can add fruits, nuts, protein powder, seeds... anything really. These can be enjoyed cold but you can also reheat them

I'm new to clean eating and new to this group. I'm back after months away from MFP. Looking to learn from members and stay on track. Thank you all for your contributions.0

I do a tofu scramble. If you sauté onion & a red bell pepper the night before, in the am all you have to do is drain extra firm tofu, sauté w/the veggies, add turmeric, cumin, corn if you want, black beans, salsa, and, if desired, throw in some avocado to take it to the next level. A corn tortilla if in your food plan would go along w/this. I have some broccoli cheddar muffins I make from Clean Eating magazine often as well.0

i've been hearing about overnight oats for awhile now but I've never tried them. This convinced me! Thanks!0 -
My son loves banana pancakes in the morning before he leaves for work.
Very easy to make too - one ripe banana, two eggs - mash all together (he puts them in the blender til smooth).
Then treat just like you would pancake batter, they come out looking like pancakes and tasting like banana bread - takes him less than 10 min to make.
Here's a recipe similar to what he does but he doesn't use chia seeds.

Here's a new discovery: Sweet potatoes with nut butter. I usually have a few baked sweet potatoes on hand. This week I've been heating them up in the microwave for breakfast. Sprinkle of salt, some peanut butter or almond butter....so so good.
OK, so glad I came here. I think that sounds FABULOUS (sung loudly and high pitched). Might be my plan tomorrow!
One of my fave's if nobody said it yet is banana pancakes - 1 banana blended in blender with 1-2 eggs (2 for large banana 1 for small). Cook in silver dollar or slightly larger pancakes. Use as mini sandwich breads for some meat (bacon!) or dip in acceptable syrup (I do maple or honey - just a spoonful and I'll work to get it all off the plate LOL).
edited to say - HAHA - somebody beat me to banana pancakes!0 -
How do you keep your 'taters? Do you bake the potatoes and then keep them in the fridge? I love sweet potatoes!
I bake a bunch all at once in the crock pot- I just rub them with oil and sprinkle a little salt (optional of course). Load up pot, put on lid. Turn on high. Takes a looong time. Then I store them in fridge in a bowl with a lid. Through the week they become baked potatoes, fried potatoes, potato hash (I'm feeling like a forrest gump character...), potato soup... you get the point. Quick cooking potatoes from then on. I'm even known to just have a lone potato sitting on a fridge shelf!0 -
I'm SO doing this today! Too hot for ovens here right now! Yay!0
