    Make up some breakfast muffins in cupcake tins.
    egg w whatever you like with them, cheese, bell peppers, onions
    and the like. Mix up in a bowl. Spray muffin tin with
    olive oil or what ever you like. Bake till done then store in the
    fridge. Pop one in the wave on your way out the door on
    those busy mornings....I also keep protein drinks blended
    fresh berries. Truthfully no morning ever truly starts with out
    without light roast espresso.
    Vroom vroom.

    I do a smoothie and a muffin top. I didn't think I'd like the muffin tops so I avoided them but they are really nice and filling and only 100 calories. I think they're called Vita-Tops Muffin Tops or something. It's like a healthy muffin but also on the top of it. :bigsmile:

    The smoothie I',m doing right now is called RAW meal but I do add tons of frozen fruit to it. I have a little single serve Oster blender. The blender cup is cute and portable and sleek (not like the Bullet which is a bit bulky). I literally spend 3 minutes on breakfast.

    My breakfast is high in potassium, iron, calcium, protein and around 300 calories or less.

    Green smoothies! I work a LOT, so I make them ahead of time, two at a time so I only have to prepare them every third night after work, and I just put them in a sealable cup in my fridge, stir before I leave and take them with me. SO nutritious, delicious and filling! Google it, lots of tasty creations!

    YES. Green smoothies are amazing. A good blender helps.

    My usual:
    1-3 cups of Kale
    2-3 cups of Spinach
    Chia Seeds
    Frozen Broccoli and Cauliflower
    1-2 cups Vanilla Almond Milk
    Stevia drops

    Sometimes I'll ditch the Stevia drops for some natural fruit-sweeteners:
    1 frozen banana/4 strawberries

    Sometimes I'll ditch any sweetener all together and make a nasty-tasting (but healthy concoction). I'll usually add things like radishes. They taste horrid, but are filling and actually make me feel pretty good.

    OR

    Sometimes I'll make Paleo Pancakes after a good work out.

    All egg whites
    Almond Flour
    Sliced Strawberries
    Stevia drops
    Pumpkin Spice and/or Cinnamon

    Grape nuts or kashi gran puff cereal with 1/2 c. Blueberries and 3 oz chobani plain yogurt

    1 slice Toasted Ezekial sprouted grain bread with 1 tbsp raw almond butter and sliced banana on top. Yummy

    2 slices Ryvita crisp bread with pumpkin seeds and 1 tbsp almond butter

    I've been coffee free for about a month, but thinking about falling off the wagon. I just enjoy a cup of coffee, black.

    Porridge, a banana, a black tea and a litre of water, my favourite breakfast by far:)

    If you're willing to spend about 15 minutes the night before with prep, this breakfast takes about 10mins total, if not less.

    2 cups of chopped veg. I usually use mushrooms, red pepper, zucchini and tomato. saute in olive oil on high heat for a few minutes. add two whisked eggs, a crack of black pepper and stir up till set. sometimes I add a bit of goat cheese and I always add a tablespoon of Sriracha, but I like the spice.

    I have it with a few slices whole-grain dry toast we get from our organic bakery. It's very filling and since it's mostly veg instead of mostly egg, I don't feel like I have to use whites (yet. we'll see when my cals go down)

    You could also make whole grain muffins the night before. they've got lots of protein and you can modify them to suit your tastes.

    hardboiled egg, string cheese or 1 oz (weighed/measured) nuts, fresh fruit. I eat in the car weekdays so I do wash it down with coffee (gotta have a little sugar, this is a deal breaker) and lots of water. I find that this lasts me until lunch and I can get by with less food at lunch and dinner.

    2 slices of bacon and a pancake
    1 cup freshly squizzed juice, 2 slices of bread, jam
    juice, oat bran,milk/yoghurt, egg
    2 eggs with curd

    All of the instant and fat-free foods are trash. Eat less,but quality. My opinion.

    I usually work out as soon as I get up and then have a protein shake for breakfast. I make green tea as soon as I get to work, and then eat some almonds or an apple and yogurt an hour or two later.

    Tomorrow I'm trying oatmeal and half a grapefruit to change it up. Check out the recipe forum for overnight oatmeal. Honestly though, I fricking love smoothies so I'm super content to just throw some soy milk, whey, berries and ice in a blender and call it breakfast.

    Brekkie is my favourite meal of the day at the moment. I have a 40g bowl of Special K with 1/2 cup skim milk, one sliced strawberry and a small handful of blueberries (and about 1/2 a tsp of sugar, but please don't tell my hips!)

    If I plan ahead I sometimes treat myself to Carman's original muesli with low fat strawberry yoghurt and blueberries. OMG yummmm. Mouth watering just thinking about it.

    I am ALWAYS over on my sugar though, but most of it is from fruit and veg.

    add 1/4 cup no sugar added applesauce and cinnamon

    sometimes I slice up a banana in it

    I never thought of canned pumpkin added to oatmeal, I think tomorrow will be a good day to try it!

    i don't eat "breakfast" in the normal sense, as i only eat between noon and 8 pm. technically my breakfast is my lunch, which could be anything from some whey and full-fat greek yogurt to a sandwich to leftovers from last night's dinner.

    Kashi 7 Grain waffles topped with one ounce of plain greek yogurt, with either strawberries or blueberries.
    I'll have to try this. It sounds delicious.

    Most days, nothing. Doesn't get any lower calorie than that.

    yeah, i know this isn't recommended, but i feel the same way. it seems entirely counterproductive to me to eat if i'm not hungry! coffee is the breakfast of champions =]

    nothing, no breakfast for me!

    Breakfast is the best meal of the day. It can be both savory and sweet. Why would you miss out on such a meal?
