Make-ahead breakfast ideas?

breakfast burritos - scrambled eggs, cheese, salsa, meat and/or beans. wrap in flour tortilla, wrap in saran wrap. you can make a bunch at a time and freeze them

Kashi (not the cereal) - Greek Yogurt (or reg yogurt is fine, too), a bit of mixed grain cereal (Bob's Red Mill is tasty), and frozen berries. Put them in a bowl in that order, the grains will soak up the juice from the berries as well as a bit of moisture from the yogurt and get softer (not really soft like if you'd cooked it, but a good chewy kind of soft). So filling and tasty!

Every Sunday I get out my long pancake skillet - the one that goes over TWO burners.

Spray with non-stick cooking spray (NO butter or oils).

Chopped onions go on first, then chopped red or orange bell peppers (I don't like the green ones).

Then a little chopped garlic, then whatever leftover already-cooked veggies I have, chop 'em up first - broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, green beans, artichoke hearts - whatever I've got.

I add some "fake meat" sausage patties that I've "cooked" in the microwave & chopped up.

Sprinkle with just a touch of shredded Parmesan.

Beat 3 whole eggs, then a few tablespoons of skim milk, and maybe a cup of "Whites Only" egg whites (carton).

Pour this over everything. Turn burners to low or medium low, cover entire skillet with foil. This will brown the bottom very slowly while "steaming" the eggs so they cook all the way through.

Once done and cool, I cut this into large squares and put in a container in the fridge. Firm enough to eat with your hands on the way to work after you warm it up, OR put it in a tortilla with some black beans and that is one filling, healthy, delicious breakfast!

Great topic!

On the weekends I make breakfast muffin omlettes. Sauté diced onion, bell pepper and asparagus and your fav breakfast sausage until browned, divide into a dozen muffin tins sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle filling with low fat shredded cheese. Beat a dozen eggs with a little salt and pepper and divide evenly over toppings. Bake at 350 for 12-15 min. Let cool and throw them in a ziplock. Nuke a couple for a quick breakfast on the go

Veggie Quiche Cups(South Beach Recipe) LOVE IT!! You can make a batch ahead of time, freeze them and when you need a quick grab and go low carb breakfast choice just microwave and go!!

1 pkg(10oz) frozen chopped spinach
3/4 c liquid egg substitute
3/4 c shredded cheese(red fat)
1/4 c diced green bell peppers
1/4 c diced onions
3 drops of hot pepper sauce(optional)

Microwave the spinach for 21/2 mins. Drain the excess liquid. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with foil baking cups. Spray the cups with cooking spray.

Combine the egg substitute, cheese, peppers, onions, and spinach in a bowl. Mix well. Divide evenly among the muffin cups. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 mins or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Soak oatmeal in milk overnight in the refrigerator and it's delicious and cold in the morning. I put some chocolate or vanilla protein powder in with the milk overnight and then in the morning throw in some peanut butter and a banana or fruit or really anything, the possibilities are endless. Delicious and easy.

I'm loving the breakfast-in-a-muffin-cup ideas, anything I can make ahead of time works for me! I'll be whipping up a batch this weekend for sure!

Soaking oatmeal? Never thought of that but man, I can totally see that using my unflavored, sugar free Almond milk, then stir in a little vanilla extract , handful of fresh blueberries, sprinkling of stevia, and sprinkling of apple pie spice - man oh man, I'm so making this tonight for tomorrow's breakfast!

Loving this thread, thanx to the OP!
