Breakfast ideas?!

I'm so busy getting kids to school, so I always have a Shakeology Meal Replacement Shake for breakfast and it keeps me full until my snack, (and sometimes even through to lunch)

Since I dont have time to cook breakfast in the mornigs.... I always go with a protein shake..
I take Myofusion Chocolate flavor, add 3 pieces of ice, a banana, water and blend it... LOVE IT! It keeps me full until 11am..

I have Kashi Go Lean Honey Almond cereal most mornings because it is quick and easy, but on other mornings what works well for me is 3/4 cup of liquid egg whites and about a few slices of avocado. The protein and good fats I get from that meal hold me until at 10am, sometime longer.

1/2 cup of Better n'Eggs (about 2 whole eggs) omelet with a slice of 2% American cheese, crispy onions and spinach...under 200 calories and pretty quick!

I just had a yummy filling breakfast egg sandwich:

Arnold sandwich slim, toasted
2 egg whites
sprinkle of Kraft fat free cheese
1 slice Canadian bacon 97% fat free

165 cal, 23 carb, 1 fat, 18 protein

Hungry Girl's (www.hungry-girl.com) website and books have a lot of great ideas of egg things you can quickly cook in a mug. I just got an email about some new ones today:

the best breakfast protein shake i find is the Slim Fast Chocolate Royale Powder with Protein...they all have some protein but this is higher.....mix it with 1 cup fat free milk...ice and fruit (if you like) and go...the shake has 200 cals mixed...the bananan depending on size will add 60-100 cals. The skakes will fill you up and blending them with ice makes the volume more and beats away the grittyness that some shakes have.

Rite Aid in the GNC section has bags of Whey Protein powder too that are great the bags are black and have vanilla, caramel, mocha, chocolate, etc.... they arent bad but usually there needs to be fruit in there to enhance the taste

most protein shakes are///powder of choice, milk or fat free half/half, fruit is desired, and ice. I use the MAgic Bulet to mis them up and go....you can also add yogurt if you want more in there.
