New and looking for a healthy breakfast idea

:flowerforyou: I make bircher muesli {I love it} with 1/2 c of wholegrain rolled oats, 1/4 c apple juice {unsweetened}, 1/2 c yoghurt {whatever you want to use} and a wee packet of raisins or any other fruit {ie stewed fruit} you want even just grated apple is great.

It makes one serving and you have to make it the night before and stick it in the fridge. It's not everyones cup of tea but it tick all the boxes and depending on what cals your yoghurt and apple juice has it's well under 400cals for brekky.

Enjoy {if you try it} and welcome along!

If you aren't used to eating breakfast regularly, it is best to keep it simple, routine, especially if you are short on time. Steel cut oats and a piece of fruit. 2 scrambled eggs and a hearty multigrain bread toast. Cottage cheese and a handful of All bran cereal. The same thing all week is okay, truly. I find that I last the longest, feeling content and full, when I have a good portion of protein for breakfast. Sometimes that is just in the form of whey protein powder mixed in a glass of water - simple, not very tasty, but totally does the trick in a pinch. It can be a "full meal" without excess carbs and calories. Sometimes it is a chunk of chicken breast from dinner the night before! Also, a great breakfast meal is soup. A non-creamy, broth and vegetable soup with a couple of crackers heated up in the microwave - fast, filling. Who says it always has to be breakfast food! Good Luck to you.

i have 3 different breakfasts that i usually do depending on what i am feeling like.

first, and my most common is a fruit smoothie.
-1 cup of some kind of liquid :i tend to use vanilla almond milk, but real milk, soy milk, or even juice would work
-2/3 to 1 cup of some kind of frozen fruit : wild blueberries are one of my favs
-1/2 to 1 cup of frozen spinach
-1/2 cup of vanilla yogourt
-1/2 tsp cinnamon
-for an extra bit of goodness, 1 tsp matcha green tea powder.
i have a magic bullet blender (the amounts of the spinach tends to change depending on which size cup i have clean for the blender :P). whirl it all up and yum! i sometimes add a piece of toast on the side to give me extra fiber with my meal.

second, is pretty common. oatmeal, and depending on how much time i have, i will use the instant packets or go all out and make a batch of steel cut oats. top with a little bit of yogourt and maybe some fruit.

and, when i want something a little richer tasting. 2 eggs, fried (without oil in a non-stick pan), maybe 2 pieces of turkey bacon, and depending on what else is planned for food later 1 or 2 pieces of toast, or a thin bagel. and to round it out, i will add a small mandarin orange.

I enjoy making yogurt parfaits i take them to work so in 2 cup gladware i put about an inch of frozen blue berry's unsweetened then i layer whatever yogurt i happen to be using, I perfer to use fat free greek yogurt and i dont mind using one that is sugar sweetened then top that with lowfat granola. It is a very good meal that has impressive staying power. And even with full sugar yogurt its easy to keep it under 300 Calories.

Try adding a scoop of natural or vanilla whey or soy protein powder to your milk with museli, or your oatmeal. It ups your protein which helps you lose weight, and keeps you from being hungry until lunch. It's fantastic.

Eggs, scrambled or omlette, with grilled mushrooms, peppers and tomatos is also good. Ups your fruit/veg count immensely too. Adds fiber without too much carbs, and loads of protein in the eggs.
