Hi All,

Does anyone have ideas for quick and easy weekday breakfasts that isn't toast, cereal or yogurt?

Thanks =)

    quaker instant oatmeal is super, super easy - and you can get the healthier ones...and even the reg ones aren't so bad. It's getting me through my first week! :)

    I agree prior to starting my HCG diet I would only eat quaker instant oatmeal, I have a box in my desk and a box at home. English Muffins with jam is another quick and healthly breakfast...

    McDonalds drive-thru? Probably not a good suggestion.

    I guess oatmeal is a cereal, but that's still my reply. And a banana (good potassium).

    This week I made a breakfast casserole.

    12 ozs Jimmy Dean Low-fat sausage
    1 cup reduced fat cheese (although I didn't use quite that much)
    1 cup HeartSmart Bisquik
    2 cups lowfat milk
    4 eggs or 1 cup egg subsistute (I used the egg white only kind)

    Brown sausage. Spread sauage and cheese in a 9 x 13 casserole. Mix together other ingredients. Pour over sausage and cheese. bake at 400 for 30-35 minutes. Cut into 12 pieces.

    I cut mine and put it in individual zippy bags. I reheat 1 piece in the microwave for 1 minute. It is good and filling. With the egg whites, it is 150 calories. I usually have a piece of fruit with it.

    This time I sauteed onions and mushrooms with the sausage and added some spinach near the end of the cooking process before putting it all in the baking dish. It is very satisfying.

    The recipe came from a site online, but I don't remember which one.

    I guess I should have mentioned that I made this on Sunday afternoon. I'm not a morning person. :)

    Raisin Bread is only 90 calories a slice, fruit is always good and Yoplait makes a smoothie that is quick and good. Special K makes some great cereal bars as well. Hope this helps.

    Maybe a serving of egg-whites with some onion, veggies and a sprinkle of cheese?

    An apple with peanut butter?

    Ummm ... that's pretty much all I got.

    wheat salad pocket\
    1/4 cup egg beaters with a touch of fat free milk scrambled with pepper
    Archer farms Moroccan style hummus
    1/8 c. 2% cheddar cheese

    smooth the hummus lightly on the insides of the pita pocket and then fill it with the egg and cheese, it is awesome!!!!!

    My new favorite breakfast is a smoothie. grab your blender in the morning and dump in:

    about a half cup of yogurt
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    half a cup (with the lemon juice) milk or orange juice or cold green tea
    1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
    1 tablespoon protein powder (if you have some)
    1 cup frozen berries ( i have four different kinds in my freezer so i always have choices)
    if you have some, I add in green tea matcha powder

    it's very healthy, mine comes out to about 315 calories, and soooo delicious! mix it up, experiment, add in whatever you want!

    Have a sandwhich. Dinner leftovers. Seriously. Why does breakfast have to be limited to one type of food?

    Eggo Nutri-Grain waffles with a little bit of pure maple syrup (if you use real maple, you won't want nearly as much as you would use of Mrs. Butterworth or Aunt Jemima)

    pancakes are good, tofu scramblers you just get some tofu, or eggs whichever, and just throw a bunch of veggies in there and you can just have it plain, or in a pita

    Nutella on a tortilla... always on the run, this is fast. Fruit to go with.

    Won't make a whole breakfast, but Vitamuffins are great (and if you get the chocolate chip ones, it's like having dessert in the morning).

    My morning meal is always 1/2 c regular plain yogurt, 1/2 c greek yogurt, 1/2 c strawberries (or other berry), 1/2 c Kashi go lean cereal on top, and a Vitamuffin on the side. Sounds like a lot, right? But depending on what kind of yogurt and fruit you use, it'll fall in the 300-320 calorie range, and it's delicious. Oh and just as a note, I eat six times a day, hence the breakfast that's not super calorie dense.

    On Sunday afternoon I make breakfast burritos for the entire week. Every bach is a different recepie. But mostly rotel, eggs, and fajita tortilla's.

    When it's game time I zap one, and breakfast is done.

    Somedays I also do instant oatmeal...and some mornings I have the previous evenings chicken or pork chop.
