Easy and filling breakfast

My favorite is a Light Wheat Thomas English Muffin (100 calories) toasted with an over-medium egg and a slice of american cheese!! YUM! Oscar Myer also makes little canadian bacon slices that fit the muffin perfectly. Tastes just like an egg Mcmuffin!

If I wake up late though its usually a bowl of Kashi Go Lean Crunch or OATMEAL. lol. Everyones favorite! Im so going to try some of these peoples oatmeal's!! My favorite right now is Old fashioned oats made with milk in the microwave, then I stir in one tablespoon of peanut butter and one tablespoon of strawberry jam! Its so good!

frozen waffles with strawberry cream cheese - by far the easiest thing to do...plus, you can take it to go!

yummmmmmmmmm, i'll have to try this.

My every-morning breakfast is a smoothie. Every Sunday, I do the shopping and get all the fruit ready to go for the week, then bag it and freeze it. The fruit in my smoothie varies every day... 1/2 c strawb and 1 kiwi, 1/2 c blueb and an apple, 1/2 c straw and 1/2 c raspb...

In the blender, I put 4oz. light minute maid juice, 1 cup greek yogurt, 1/2 c frozen baby spinach leaves, and the fruit. Blend it up and go. I also have a hard boiled egg white for more protein. yummm

Here's a new breakfast I've been eating...I can make it while I get ready for work.

Lunch meat (usually use turkey)
Egg or Egg Substitute
Salsa
Cheese (optional)

I scramble my eggs and add the salsa and cheese, then for each egg I put a slice or two of lunch meat in a muffin pan. Spray the pan with Nonstick cooking spray first. Then I add the egg to about 3/4 full.

I bake on 350 for about 15 minutes or until egg is done. I like when the edges of the lunch meat get crispy.

Going into the summer, I love to occasionally do Alton Brown's "Buff Smoothie," sometimes with a slice of Ezekiel bread and a little peanut butter for extra protein: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/buff-smoothie-recipe/index.html

The norm for my wife and I is a cup of beans, cereal with fruit & almond/soy milk, and Ezekiel bread toasted w/the peanut butter. Sometimes we replace the cereal with a tofu scramble.

Funny story: We honeymooned in Hawaii, where there are a lot of Japanese tourists. Our hotel had a breakfast buffet that tried to cater to everyone, so my wife & I spend a week having dried fruit, rice, and miso soup for breakfast. One day, we glanced over at the next table to see a Japanese family, their plates piled high with pancakes, donuts, and home fries! They looked at us at the same time, and we all just started laughing.

I'll usually eat a biscuit, a glass of orange juice, a piece of fruit, 1 cup of plain cheerios with either skim milk or soy milk. It's about 500 something calories but I stay full, plus its only about 1/3 of my daily calories before exercise. Whenever I'm at home I'll eat scrambled eggs, whole wheat english muffin, blueberries, and milk. It's soo delicious.

I am going to try this thanks!!!!

I love those Jimmy Dean D-Lights sandwiches but they tend to have a lot of sodium and preservatives :frown:

I also love Eggo Nutri-Grain LF Waffles with 1/2 cup of heated blueberries on top-- YUM!
Finally I make a breakfast wrap with a whole grain wrap, 1 scrambled egg+egg white, salsa, and low fat or ff shredded cheese!
