Breakfast Ideas!!

I make a smoothie about every morning for breakfast. There are so many different variations that it doens't get old! With the ingredients I use, the smoothie equals about 300 calories and it's very filling because I put in vanilla yogurt. I have a problem with yogurt so it's a way for me to get that in also and not even taste it.

I love egg sandwiches. I put a slice of cheese on whole wheat bread, the put a fried egg on top and top with salsa. Delicious!

If you like cold foods too, I have really enjoyed mixing Kashi Go Lean Crunch! cereal with Stonyfield Organic Low Fat French Vanilla yogurt. The cereal meets my need for a little crunch in my diet & the yogurt is soooo yummy, I don't even miss not having ice cream. I also use a smaller portion for a snack sometimes. GOOD STUFF.

HTH! :flowerforyou:

I like to eat a kashi waffle with 1/2 cup of low fat yogurt topped off with 1/4 cup of fresh blueberries and half a banana on top of that.

One thing is never enough for me. I like a variety. I eat 1/2 cup of fat free cottage cheese with a teaspoon of any flavor jam, 1/2 cup of melon, and a mini sandwich of laughing cow cheese between two pieces of Pepperidge Farm Very Thin Whole Wheat Bread. It looks like a mini buffet on my plate and I believe it's all under 300 calories.

I love to have that FULL Feeling (hence I'm here because of it)

But really love

RAW Oatmeal, 1 tsp sugar or artificial sweetener & 1/2 COLD Lowfat Milk
1 Fried Egg Atop 1 piece of toast/english muffin
Special K with Chocolate Pieces & Low Fat Milk


Keeps me full longer :flowerforyou:

I love Eggo's low fat whole grain waffles with one sliced banana and a few tablespoons of whipped cream!
Yum.

3 egg whites
1/2 c. tomatoes
1/2 c. onions
3 or 4 slices of green bell peppers
1/2 slice low-fat swiss cheese
Low fat toasted English muffin

Cook the eggs with a fe sprays of Pam. Toss in the onions and tomatoes until only slightly soft. Add garlic salt and pepper to taste.
Place the mixture on half the toasted muffin top with cheese and bell peppers. Pop on the top and enjoy! Really tasty and low in fat and calories.

You can have this with a glass of skim milk or smoothie! YUMMY!

for some reason, i always crave something sweet in the morning. i never have a taste for sandwiches or eggs untill later in the day. so my breakfast is always fruity and sweet.

i have a large variety of kashi cereals in my pantry. i have a bowl with skim milk and throw in some sliced banana or strawberries or blueberries. i found that the high protein cereals keep me full the longest. Also, the crunchy cereals are good in yogurt or dry as well. Kashi Go Lean Crunch! is higher in calories, but very filling, and also crunchy and sweet. that's one of the cereals that i can eat plain or add into other things.

My favorite right now is my healthy breakfast wrap.

1 wheat tortilla
1 or 2 eggs scrambled
2 sausage links sliced (I use banquet brown n' serve)
1/4 cup or one slice 2% cheese
1 package Taco bell fire sauce (or other hot sauce)

I cook the sausage links in the microwave while the stove heats up. I use paper towels to get off the extra grease and then add them to the egg as it cooks to flavor to the egg along with the cheese. I place it all in the tortilla then add the hot sauce. Fold and eat. It's really tasty and only about 350 calories with two eggs.

Sometimes i will cut up different fruits and put it in a bowl
Or eat a bagel with cream cheese. Mmmmmm

Oatmeal can be boring but you can dress it up a little with a table spoon of peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of surgar free maple flavor syurp.

Another variation I love of this is oatmeal, vanilla extract, peanut butter & cut up banana (from Simple & Delicious magazine). It's AWESOME!

opps

my new indulgence breakfast
1/2 multigrain everything bagel
scrambled egg white
tablespoon homemade guacamole

SO good!

I usually have protein shakes for breakfast but when I don't I make one of these because it keeps me full for hours and it tastes great:

1 morningstar original sausage patty (80 c)
1 double fiber english muffin (120 c)
1 oz lowfat cheese (70 c)

or this

1 morningstar original sausage patty (80 c)
1/2 double fiber english muffin (60 c)
1 oz lowfat cheese (70 c)
1/4 cup eggbeaters (30)
1/2 cup fresh baby spinach (3 c)

I cook the sausage patty in a pan and then chop it up, I toast the muffin half and then chop it up, chop the spinach, grate the cheese and layer into muffin tins sprayed with cooking spray. I do bread on the bottom, then sausage, then spinach, egg, and then cheese. Bake at 350 until firm. They are great with fresh salsa.
