Hi All,

I'm looking for some good, filling breakfast recipes that I can eat on the go or take to work to eat at my desk (we have a toaster and microwave so I can heat things up!). Anybody got any they'd like to share?

Thanks

    One breakfast which is well known but works for me every time is pure wholegrain oat + soya milk + comibination of fruits (usally two of 5 a day) . I add flaxseed for omega 3 but not neccsary if you are taking oily fish. Its easy , filling and very healthy as it provides most of the fibre of the day, complex carbohydrate so that energy is steady , protien and micronutrients.Also fat free.I keep some oat in works also so that if necessary I can prepare at works also using micorwave.

    Well, if you like spaghetti squash, here is a recipe for spaghetti squash pancakes. I make a batch and put them in the fridge. Then, a quick re-heat in the microwave and they are yummy.

    Cook Time: 15 minutes
    Serving Size: 1 (Makes 3-4 pancakes

    Homemade protein bars

    8 scoops chocolate protein
    1/2 cup almond or regular cow's milk
    1 cup porridge oats
    3 tablespoons flaxseeds or sliced almonds
    3 tablespoons honey
    3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter (crunchy is too hard to mix evenly)
    1 tablespoon of nutella or chocolate spread (optional)
    Mix everything together, if it's too dry add more milk or water. Get a baking tray and either coat it with butter or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set the mixture into the dish and put it into the fridge overnight at (or an hour at the very least)

    Nutrition facts: 300 calories, 40 grams protein, 18 grams carbs, 8 grams fat (without nutella)

    Or just buy protein flapjacks.

    why not just make food that's fast before you leave in the morning, or prepare it the night before and warm it up the next day? Bacon, scrambled eggs, leftovers from dinner-- all good options :)
