Easy breakfast ideas

On my day off I will make ; Oatmeal Cottage Cheese Pancakes. They freeze really well, and all you have to do it put them in the toaster then go.


1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 egg whites

(you can add any fruits to them you like) my favorite is at 1 banana and 2 tablespoon of peanut butter

Blend all ingredients in blender.
Spray skillet with cooking spray and cook just like"silver dollar" pancakes, a few small ones at a time.

Good luck :happy:

Overnight oats are amazing for grab and go mornings. There's all different variations you can try. I am not a breakfast person but I absolutely love the overnight oats, it tastes like a dessert. This is the recipe I use most of the time:

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2-1 cup milk [depending on how thick you like it]
1/3 cup nonfat plain greek yogurt
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 tbsp chia seeds
Cinnamon to taste

Mix it all together and put in fridge overnight.

Protein Pancakes that I make the night before:
1/4 cup oatmeal
1/3-1/2 cup of blueberries, strawberries or raspberries
4 egg whites
cinnamon to taste
I put the oatmeal in my mini-food processor to break it up. Then add egg whites, cinnamon and the fruit. Pour it all into a pan sprayed with pam. Let it firm up and flip it. I put it in the fridge overnight and grap it in the morning. Taste good either warm or cold. I eat it plain or top it with Agave Nectar.

This too! :happy:

Measure out everything the night before ... 1 small dry ingredient bowl & 1 larger "wet" ingredient bowl to refrigerate. In the a.m. mix & go

3/4 C Kashi Go Lean mix in: Dannon Light & Fit, 1/4 C frozen raspberries, 1 TBL sliced almonds. 250 Calories ... 16.8 gms protein, 10.5 gms fiber, 4.6 gms good fat ..... keeps me full until lunch

I second the breakfast burrito idea, or maybe some oatmeal? I like to do half a cup of oatmeal, half a cup of yogurt, and half a cup of water in the fridge at night and then put it in the microwave for like 45 seconds in the morning.

I tend to like oatmeal cooked on the stove though...but maybe will give this a try Thank you

Rolled (old fashioned) and instant (quick) oats are ALL per-cooked. Rolled oats will maintain their texture a bit more because they are not rolled as thinly as instant oats.

If you want very little texture for your overnight oats .... use the instant kind.

Coconut Chia Pudding

Makes two 1 cup servings
2 tablespoons honey or agave
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk*
4 tablespoons chia seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1. Put honey or agave in a small bowl and add a few drops of water. Whisk to thin the texture. If your honey is very thick or has crystalized, you may even want to heat the honey/water mixture to dissolve the sweetener.
2. Add thinned honey, coconut milk, vanilla almond milk, chia seeds and cinnamon, if using, to a medium bowl. Whisk until thoroughly mixed. Cover and place in refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours, until the mixture has a pudding texture. Serve cold. Store pudding in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
* Note: To make this nut-free, simply substitute unsweetened vanilla soy milk for the almond milk or double the coconut milk. If you choose the latter, add pure vanilla extract to taste to get a bit of vanilla flavor.

I add half a banana to each cup as well. YUM!
