Breakfast?

greek yogurt with 1/2 cup kashi go lean cereal (instead of granola)

Eggs, sausage, toast, oatmeal, cereal, pancakes, ham, protein shake....you can also find different types of microwavable breakfast biscuits in your grocery frozen food section. I don't eat a lot of bread but that's an option if you do.

- Eggs (just don't overboard with cheese, butter or milk if you have them scrambled)
- Greek yoghurt with unsweetened muesli or wholegrain cereal (use cinnamon as sweetener)
- wholegrain toast with avocado and tomato.

Pretty anything wholegrain and full of protein is good for brekky

I just finished a loaf of wheat beer bread that I made, it was a boxed recipe from tastefully simple, so I jsut added beer and baked it. At 140 cals per slice for a decent serving I had it for breakfast a lot. I added cream cheese and blueberries, peanut butter, butter and brown sugar....the list goes on. I baked it on Sunday and all I had to do was microwave it for 20 secs and top it. Pretty easy and filling.

pop tarts

I have overnight oats for breakfast, which consists of 50g of wholegrain rolled oats mixed with a tablespoon of milled flaxseed, a teaspoon of baobab and half a teaspoon of cinnamon and 180ml of almond milk. I have this on the days I go to work at 6.30am and it keeps me full and satisfied until my lunch break at 1.30pm. I know it's a bit boring to have the same thing all the time but it keeps me so full that I'm scared to change it in case I'm famished during the day (I'm a teacher so I can't just snack whenever).

I alternate between 3

whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter and sliced banana

egg sandwich on e muffin or bagel thin with light cheese and ham

or if I know I'm having a crazy week I'll make muffins (banana or blueberry) and grab one with a hard boiled egg and some fruit

My go to breakfast ideas:

Mini omelettes: blend eggs, spinach, salt pepper. Mix in additional items as desired (sauteed mushrooms are really good. As is seasoned and browned beef). Pour into greased muffin tins and bake until set. Reheats well.

Steel cut oats: Make them on the stovetop a little thinner than usual, divide into 1c wide mouth mason jars, top as desired (1t brown sugar, 1T raisins for me), store in the fridge for up to a week and reheat in the microwave. I use the plastic lids, not the metal ones.

Light english muffin with almond butter and a little honey.

2 slices of good bread (I like Matthew's All Natural), toasted and topped with a half wedge of Laughing Cow light cheese per slice.

In my house, breakfast is the biggest challenge because we are all rushing out the door.

Sooooo.....The first thing I did was make a list of healthy breakfast options that I had in stock and placed it on the door of my fridge.

Secondly, I take a sandwich bag and bag up my hubby and my own breakfast the night before so that it is a quick grab while heading out of the door.

Here are some ideas of what we have on the go:

Nutrigrain bar with fruit or nuts

Cheese and Meat stick with fruit or nuts

Smoothie (prepackaged in the yogurt section) and a boiled egg

Boiled egg with fruit or nuts

Frozen lowfat cinnamon rolls (bake on a Sunday, divide and freeze in individual bags)

Sausage patty/breakfast ham with boiled egg

Slimfast shake

On the weekends we may have cereal or a more traditional breakfast. I generally try to do high protein as it carries me to lunch with no snacking. However, I rotate in a low protein one from time to time just to keep my body guessing.
