Healthy on the go breakfast ideas

I'm a big fan of bananas. And apples.

Oatmeal (brown sugar) from Jamba Juice is amazing. Its filling and only 220 calories for 12 Oz. Sometimes i dont even finish that. All they have to do is scoop it and put on the sugar. im in and out in 3 minutes with one or two other people in line in front of me.

YUMMY SPICY BREAKFAST BURRITO (from hungry girl web site)

Ingredients:
2 tsp. fat-free sour cream
1 slice fat-free cheddar cheese
Dash cayenne pepper
1 slice center-cut bacon or turkey bacon
1/4 cup sliced onion (about 1/4th of an onion)
1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1 medium-large high-fiber flour tortilla with 110 calories or less (like the kinds by La Tortilla Factory)
3 jarred jalapeño slices, chopped

Directions:
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine sour cream, cheese, and cayenne pepper, breaking cheese into small pieces as you add it. Stir well and set aside.

Prepare bacon in a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray or on a microwave-safe plate in the microwave. (Refer to package instructions for exact cook time and temperature.) Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop and set aside.

Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat on the stove. Add onion and, stirring occasionally, cook until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.

Add egg substitute to the skillet with the onion and scramble until fully cooked, about 3 minutes. Set aside.

Place tortilla on a microwave-safe plate and warm in the microwave, about 10 seconds. Scoop egg scramble into the center of the tortilla and set aside.

Microwave the cheese mixture for 15 seconds, or until hot. Mix well, until mostly smooth, and immediately spoon over the egg scramble.

Top with bacon and jalapeño. Wrap tortilla up like a burrito, folding the sides in first, and then rolling it up from the bottom. Place burrito seam-side down on the microwave-safe plate, and microwave for 30 seconds, or until hot.

Slice it in half or bite right in. Enjoy!

Fiber one bars - quick and filling.

I make these Breakfast Muffins nearly every Sunday evening, for an "on the go" breakfast during the week - I warm up one or two and eat 'em on the drive to work! You could also warm up a whole wheat tortilla with some cheese and one of these muffins for an egg burrito.

You can pretty much make the "filling" however you want - this is how I do it....

To make 12 "muffins", this is what I saute' together in a large frying pan sprayed with no-stick spray:

Chopped onion (I prefer the red/purple onion), garlic, red bell pepper, cooked broccoli and/or spinach (usually both!), "fake" sausage (I like Morningstar Farms Original Sausage Patties - I use 4 patties, they are small). I make sure everything is chopped up before I throw it in the pan.

As that's all cooking together I beat together the following: 4 whole eggs, 1 1/2 cups "All Whites" (carton egg whites, this is equivelant to 8 whole eggs), 10-12 tablespoons (approximated) skim milk. (I'm watching my egg yolk consumption, but if it's not an issue for you then you could certainly just use 12 whole eggs instead).

Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Put equal spoonfulls of the "filling" mixture from the frying pan into each section of the prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle with a very small amount of shredded cheese - I prefer Parmesan. Using a ladle, pour egg mixture over the filling/cheese.

I bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes until eggs are cooked through, they rise a little like mini souffle's but fall a bit after they come out of the oven. BEFORE I take 'em out I put the broiler on for 1-2 minutes to give 'em a nice browned top.

Once cooled these lift out easily with a small spatula. Because I only used 4 whole eggs for 12 "muffins", there's only 1/3 of an egg yolk in each one, but plenty of egg whites for the protein. This is a great alternative if you are keeping your egg yolk consumption down or watching cholesterol.

Yum!

yummy those breakfast muffins sound fantastic, kind of like an egg bake muffin style. I will definately have to make these someday. Thank you, iceskatefanrn!!! :-)

You're welcome! They are definitely my "on the go" breakfast. Just gotta get 'em made Sunday night, then I keep 'em in a ziploc baggie in the fridge for the week. It makes 12 and I eat 2 a day, on my way to work. Then in the afternoon when I get home from work if I HAVE to have something to eat before dinner I eat one of those!

I love 'em!

my breakfast is usually one of 2 things, a strawberry nutrigrain bar 120 cals or subway! I get a bacon egg and cheese on english muffin w/ tomato, it's like 2.95 and So good! it's only 220 calories! in the winter I'm a fan of oatmeal, but has to be really cold outside, and since I live at the beach, it will be a while before its cold here...breakfast has always been my biggest struggle so interested to see what others have to say also!

Here's another Breakfast Ideas thread from a couple weeks ago, great ideas here too!
