Breakfast Ideas?

The possibilities are almost endless! I like Dannon's Light N Fit Yogurt, fresh fruit (you can have it separately or even mix it in with the yogurt), Eggo NutriGrain Toaster Waffles, Omelets (or just scrambled egg whites with some veggies thrown in -- those are faster), etc, etc.

Smoothies are good and quick to make, too. I'll make a large batch and then just pop them in the fridge or freezer and voila! you have a whole week's worth of breakfasts at your fingertips.

Egg whites with salsa on a whole wheat tortilla
Egg whites with veges
Greek yogurt with fruit and granola
Instant oatmeal (just make sure you choose a flavor without a lot of sugar, or just use the 1-minute kind)

Over the weekend make a bunch of whole wheat pancakes and turkey bacon/canadian bacon and package them as individual servings for the week.

Hopefully, this helps!

Today, I had a bowl of cereal, a banana, and a hard boiled egg.

You can hard boil the eggs on Sunday for the entire week!! I usually always get my meals ready on Sunday so I HAVE to eat good for the rest of the week cause its sitting in the fridge waiting for me!

I've also had egg muffin sandwiches---they are pretty tasty and low cal. I use egg whites, a piece of FF cheese and a slice of ham on a low cal English muffin. Pretty dang tasty!

Yogurt is another good option, but I like saving yogurt for a snack!!

Hungry girl has a good oatmeal chocolate chip pancake recipe---and if you eat it with sugar free syrup...Oh my gosh, its delicious!! But, I guess depending on how much time you have in the morning!! Hungry girl also has some yummy apple cinnamon muffins--you could make those earlier in the week and have them ready for the rest of the week---the recipe only makes 4 which I love!!

Good luck!

My favorite is peanut butter and fruit spread on whole wheat toast. Sometimes I substitute for the fruit spread with sliced tomato. If you've never had tomato and peanut butter together, try it before you knock it. It's delicious! And I also sometimes do a banana with peanut butter instead. I don't always eat peanut butter for breakfast, but it's my favorite. Stays with me longer than anything else I've ever tried.

Spread Peanut Butter on a piece of whole grain bread, put a banana in the center, wrap the bread around and eat it like a hot dog.

Yummy and simple.

I love making mini-quiches to take with me, since I never seem to have time to do anything in the morning. I can make these either on the weekend, or the night before. And it might take some getting used to, but I eat them cold if I don't have time to microwave them (it happens more often than you think - trying to get out the door on time with a 5 year old is nearly impossible).

From Gina's Weight Watcher recipes:
