Hello all,
I am in search of some tasty quick, filling, and healthy breakfasts to make before I head off to work. I usually just grab a Nutrigrain bar and eat it in my car but that's getting old quick and isn't very filling. I welcome any and all ideas and recipes. Thanks!

I like crumbling a granola bar into a container of yogurt.0

oats are always a good idea. If you don't like the taste then mix in some cinnamon or honey.
Greek yogurt mixed with fruit is great as well.0 -
Chobani yogurt is a good one and it comes individual (170 calories and 12-14 grams of protein)
Another good one is the slim fast shakes. However I recommend the ones you mix yourself (the can ones are not as good) and I usually put a little extra milk in it. It gives it a few more calories but it is a little more filling.0 -
I drink smoothies for breakfast just about every day. You can even take it with you in a portable cup. I blend 1 scoop of protein powder, 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1 tbs peanut butter or almond butter, 1 handful of baby spinach and sometimes 1/2 cup frozen blueberries. I add a handful of ice cubes and blend. Delicious, nutritious, and fills me up until lunch.0

I usually have the Nestle Carnation - Breakfast Anytime! Put it with milk and it gets you a lot of what you need in the morning. Its a drink you can get in chocolate, vanilla and I think strawberry, add 1% milk to it, its 255 calories in the morning!0

Boiled egg sandwiches, stinky but nice.0

At first, this sounded weird to me, but now I love it!
1 frozen waffle - I use Van's organic waffles (115 cal)
1 tbsp peanut butter (100 cal)
a little bit of honey (not even a tbsp) (30 cal)
half a banana (50 cal)
some cinnamon
Put the peanut butter on the waffle, top with honey, banana, and sprinkle cinnamon over the whole thing. It's filling, a little bit sweet, has some protein, and it's easy. Enjoy!0 -
Low fat cottage cheese with blueberries. Hard boiled egg. Scrambled egg on bagel thin with a slice of tomato.0
-
Search pumpkin protein bars in the recipe database. I made them last night and portioned them out to grab and go. Less calories than a nutrigrain, more filling and much cheaper... WIN0
-
If I'm working I eat a banana and drink a 30 calorie can of low sodium V8 juice. That way I get a fruit and vegetable. It holds me til lunch.0

I have Shakeology with a banana and one spoon of peanut butter for breakfast every morning.
The healthiest meal of my day. and help me lose weight and give me energy.
Awesome!!!!0 -

This is awesome! You can even add some oats (rolled oats or quick cook - just add them plain, uncooked).. if it were me I would sub the spinach for oats. Not too such I'd want those together. I also make breakfast burritos (eggs, cheese, spinach, mushroom, chicken - whatever you like) in a tortilla, pita, or a Flat Out wrap. Or an english muffin (whole wheat) with egg/cheese/ham sandwich (you can make these burritos and sandwiches ahead to eat throughout the week).0 -
Steel Cut Oats. Add cinnamon & a little "light" Smart Balance with Flax seed oil. If you need to eat something sweet, add a few raisins OR organic honey (not too much). This breakfast is very filling, imo.0
-
Ezekial english muffin with sugar free jam, and a serving of fruit. Fulfills a protein and fruit serving. keeps me full til lunch0

Ive been having those Belvita Breakfast Biscuits (honey & nut) with some fruit (usually a banana or some strawberries) a low fat yoghurt and a cup of tea. As recommended on the pack. Its really filling and you can change what you have by changing the fruit & the flavour of the belvita thingys.
At weekends i have a GRILLED breakfast of 1 sausage, 2 bacon, 1 egg, mushrooms and 1 hash brown & 2 plum tomatoes --- i used to fry it all but grilling is much healthier (less fatty) and i dont feel like im missing out.... I dont have toast with it any more either.0 -

I second this. I just started making smoothies. I use .5 cup of greek yogurt and blend with fruits of your choice. I add a splash or two of water to thin it out so I can drink through a straw.
Here is the recipe I made for today's smoothie:
1 ripe banana
1/2 cup of Stonyfield Greek Yogurt (vanilla)
3/4 cup of Dole frozen mixed fruit (peach, mango, strawberry and pineapple)
and a splash of water. (didn't measure just slowly added to I got the right consistency)
Put the ingredients into a blender and mix until smooth then slowly add in the water. I am sure you could add milk if you wish.0 -
Protein shakes. One Muscle milk shake keeps me full so much longer than a SlimFast shake. If you like, there are an infinite number of ways to make your own shakes or gourmet style hot drinks with protein powders, flavored syrups, and a little creativity. A (vanilla flavored) protein caramel macchiato is shockingly delicious! My mom has lost lots of weight and this is one of the tools she has used. I'm too new to it to tell you if it works for me yet though! Good luck :-)0

Here are 2 options I like
Option 1: Quaker, Instant Oatmeal, Lower Sugar, Maple Brown (120 Calories)
With a 90 calorie Special-K, Cereal Bar
Option 2: Dannon 90 Calorie yogurt. Many good flavors.
Fresh Fruit (10 Small Strawberries 22 calories) (1 cup of water melon 45 Calories)0 -

This is my favorite!0 -
Hardboiled eggs, Kind bars (more filling than nutrigrain, Jimmy Dean Eggwhite Croissant Sandwiches (surprisingly good). Also, McDonald's Egg McMuffin, hold the cheese.0

I've been having about 1/2 cup of greek, nonfat, plain yogurt with 1T of almond butter and a tiny sprinkle of splenda/artificial sweetner (not the whole packet -- just a dash) along with an egg and I am NOT hungry until well into lunch time! It's very rich too and you think you are having something forbidden!0

This sounds really good! My dr. is a huge advocate of smoothies for breakfast and I have yet to try making one!! I think I will try your recipe!0 -
You could try premaking breakfast sandwiches, freezing them, and then microwaving them in the morning. I'd recommend the prepackaged ones, but a lot of people watch their sodium.0

I like to grab a couple slices of wholegrain bread (Healthy Life is good and very low in calories). I'll toast them then add one tablespoon of peanut butter to one side, and one tablespoon of Nutella to the other and make it a sandwich. It's an awesome eat before my morning runs!0
-
I love Eggo +fiber waffles (90 cal each). They have a few flavors, my favorites are chocolate chip and the blueberry. I put a tsp of butter on one. I also have a glass of OJ. I am a junk food junkie so I love sweets!0

Thanks! Seriously, try it and you'll love it!0 -
This doesn't take long at all. I toast a bagel thin, spread a laughing cow on it and if I feel like it, I add a turkey bacon (which I microwaved) on it. 150 calories. Yum0
-
My favorite right now is a Thomas whole wheat bagel thin, two egg whites, slice of provolone chesse melted on top, and some jelly. Sounds weird, but delish!0
-
Love the Kind bar - great suggestion!!0
