    Oh, and ALWAYS at least two cups of fair trade coffee with half and half. I can't cut that out!

    I do a smoothie. I measure out the frozen veggied and stuff into the blend and go cup the night before. The next moring I just pop it onto the blender to blend and (hahah) go!

    My "recipe" includes about 140 grams of frozen fruit (I don't do bananas either), maybe an ounce of baby carrots, a half cup of greek yogurt and a scoop of protein powder. Then before blending I add enough water to let it blend well. Since everything was portioned out the night before it is super quick in the morning.

    Every morning, same thing...easy and convenient :)

    6 egg whites, Canadian bacon (or turkey bacon), spinach - in a wrap or on some bread.

    Orange juice, a slice of whole wheat toast with peanut butter, a piece of fruit and coffee. I'd leave out the OJ to lower sugar, but it's super refreshing and it washes down my vitamins, :)

    I grab a whole wheat English muffin, toast it and add a tablespoon of peanut butter and bit of homemade jam or some honey. I can eat it on the go and it's ready in a couple of minutes. Add a few grapes for a fairly rounded breakfast.

    I love breakfast, so I eat a variety. Eggs, toast with peanut butter, Jimmy Dean delight sandwiches, oatmeal. Basically anything to keep me full till lunch.

    I tried this recipe this week b/c a friend tried it and liked it. It kept me full and was actually pretty good. I want to try adding fruits or maybe some chocolate chips next time.

    I'm so not a normal breakfast person and until a few weeks ago, i didn't eat breakfast. I'm a type 2 diabetic and know better so i started doing whey protein shakes like my son did during wrestling. I use 1c milk(soy, almond, 2%,etc), a banana, 1 scoop of whey protein powder, 1/2 c frozen blueberrries, and 1-2Tbl flax seed and mix it in the blender. Fills me up and keeps me from wanting to constantly eat:)

    I just found that best FAT Burning breakfast or snack food yet. It is Hannaford instant oatmeal with apples and cinnamon. Nothing fake to it. I like it dry out of the pack with a few raisins added for a trail mix and I like it with skim milk HOT! You get 16g of whole grain per package. It has 130 calories and only 9g of sugar. Great Product! :flowerforyou:

    I go through phases.

    My breakfast is usually in two parts. Before my workout I do coffee and toast with either light butter and jam or with peanut butter. (sometimes I'll do a granola bar)

    Second part of breakfast is when I get to work I have a fat free greek yogurt.

    Boring.

    On the weekends I do something heartier like poached or scrambled eggs with whole grain toast or pancakes or something like that if I have time.

    I like to mix it up at breakfast so I don't get bored. I love sweet potatoes with almond butter and cinnamon, scrambled egg whites with salsa, black beans and pepper jack, and whole grain hot cereals with fruits and nuts (toasted millet with peaches and pecans this week).

    I do some prep work on weekends to make it easier in the mornings. I dice up half a yellow bell pepper, half a red bell pepper and half of a large sweet onion. I mix it together and store it in the fridge. I also dice up 10 pieces of turkiey bacon and store it separately in the fridge. In the mornings, I mix some of each in a bowl with a spritz of cooking spray and microwave for 1 minute. Then I scramble in an egg and microwave for another minute. I springle on 2 tbs shredded cheese and wrap it in a soft-taco size tortilla shell. It's 330 calories. I either make it at home and eat it driving to work or just pack everything and make it at work and eat it at my desk.

    Usually two eggs- either boiled or fried with a small amount of oil- and a piece of fruit (typically an orange).
  • Scramble egg whites, 1 slice of American cheese and two wheat bread slices! or a healthy cereal. I love fruit so I try to eat cereal with lots of fruit :)

    I do slim-fast for breakfast too... and know what you're saying. So glad you brought it up! How about we start doing fruit smoothies? It's a grab n go thing. Any berries or soft fruit like ripe pear or peach or kiwi with yogurt pureed in the blender or food processor. On less busy days I love a HUGE omelet loaded with veg. of any kind and i do put in just enough cheese to hold it all in there.

    Though I'm not big on breakfast...I've found breakfast is key for me. If I don't eat enough of it or skip it I'm either starving by lunch or skip lunch as well.

    Turkey sausage diced with my no oil scrambled eggs

    I love a boiled egg with 2 slices lean turkey bacon

    Today was a day I didn't feel like breakfst food at breakfast time so I had veggies, diced grilled chicken, and a side of mixed fruit. I just did a 1/2 of a normal portion to keep it light.

    I boil a dozen eggs on Sunday night and take two with me to work every morning. Also, you can bake eggs & veggies (and meat if you want) into muffin cups and make "egg muffins". Basically portable omelettes. Or there's always leftovers from dinner the night before (who said breakfast had to be traditional breakfast food?).
