Breakfast Ideas

I would suggest making a protein shake that you could drink on your way to work or finding a ready to drink shake like Slim Fast, Special K or Atkins Protein shakes. If you dont like those, you could find a protein bar like Atkins, Slim Fast or Special K any of those others that are out there. You can find some for reasonable prices at Walmart/ Sam's Club, Target or Costco and have it with a banana or apple on your way to work. Those are some of the things that I like to have becuase they are healthy and easy to eat on my way to work or at my desk.

I make a crustless quiche with lots of veggies in it (spinach, onion, bell pepper, brocolli, etc) on Sundays to last me the week. Hungry Girl has some great low calorie quiche recipes, and protein is a great way to start up your metabolism in the morning!

I have a protein shake in the car each morning. Try a whey protein powder and mix with water and one of these:
1/2c frozen strawberries + 1/2 banana
1/2 mixed berries
2 Tbs crushed pineapple + tsp coconut extract (pina colada)
2 oz limeade concentrate + tsp vanilla (key lime pie)
or chocolate protein powder and 1Tbs natual peanut butter
possibilities are endless...

I often eat at my desk at work, so here are some things I do:

- 4 ounces greek yogurt with 1/4 cup granola and 1/2 tbsp honey
- yogurt smoothie (yogurt, ground flax seeds, fruit [usually berries], a touch of honey or sugar if you want, ice)
- 1 tbsp peanut butter on one slice of toasted whole wheat bread
- one hard-boiled egg and an apple or orange or other fruit (I usually boil at least 6 eggs at the beginning of the week and store them in the fridge, I use them for breakfast as well as snacks)

All of these keep me full until lunch time or snack time.

Here's my healthy breakfast sandwhich:

Whole grain muffin toasted - add 1 egg white, reduced fat cheese, 2 slices low-sodium canadian bacon.

I use regular cheese and canadian bacon and the nutritional info is VERY reasonable with the exception of the salt.

Other options are the Jimmy Dean D-Lights, they make breakfast sandwhiches and breakfast bowls. I've tried all of them and they are all pretty good. Even the salt content is reasonable.

to many great ideas I add green smoothies (in those reusable to go cups) they can be very filling and you get the servings of veggies that you might not get on a busy day of work. I like to make my own granola bar and my own healty version of mini muffins. When you make it yourself you can control how many calories you want on it.

Try the whole grain english muffins that are 100 cal with one egg and 2% cheese. Comes in just over 200 calories.
