Healthy breakfast choices

Kashi breakfast cereals are great!
Banana on whole wheat toast with peanut butter
Kashi 7 grain waffles with a tad bit of syrup, peanut butter or fruit
Yogurt with nuts and fruit.

do a sprouted bread- whole wheat turns to sugar in your body. a whole egg and add more whites to it.

Kashi cereal mixed with vanilla yogurt. Lowfat..gives the yogurt a crunch. Also the cereal doesn't taste so much like twigs..even though it looks like it.

Egg whites are good, too!

Some of my breakfast go-tos: Fat free cottage cheese, Yoplait light yogurt (with granola sprinkled in or some rice krispy cereal, about 1/4 cup is plenty for the amount of yogurt), strawberries, apple, clementines, half a grapefruit. If I have more time in the morning, I might do soy bacon, egg white veggie omletes (try black olives, baby spinach, red onion, bell peppers, mushrooms, the veggie options are endless).

On the weekends I might have a plain pancake with some fruit or french toast made with 45 calorie bread and egg whites.

Good luck!

Eggs, veggies, salsa in a high fiber wrap. Yogurt smoothie (yogurt, frozen berries, splash of OJ, handful of spinach). Yogurt parfait with homemade granola (way less sugar). Protein shake. PB&J sandwich.

If you don't care for breakfast foods, eat a turkey wrap or something like that.

Hope you find something that works for you!

I posted this to a similar thread a while ago, and it's still my favorite breakfast!

Egg drop soup all the way! You can make it for pennies if you make your own chicken stock (which is probably the single best thing I've done for my health and my cooking). Here's how I do it, but the sky's the limit:

bring some chicken stock to the boil (I use a little more than 1 cup)
add flavorings - sea salt, black pepper, fresh ginger, crushed red peppers, garlic, scallions, etc. - whatever you feel like!
thicken with some cornstarch/flour/arrowroot powder if desired
beat an egg or two and slowly drizzle it into the simmering broth. whisk while you add it, and the egg breaks into a million beautiful pieces!



It's easy (done in 10 minutes tops), cheap, delicious, and nutritious - one little known fact about good quality stock/broth is that it contains lots of gelatin. Gelatin contains essential amino acids, but isn't a complete protein by itself. However, it acts as a "protein sparer," meaning that your body can more easily assimilate complete proteins when you eat them along with some gelatin. Soup is peasant food for a reason - it's cheap and nutritive. Anyway, I haven't met anyone who doesn't like this soup. And if you're feeling hungrier than usual, throw some extra stuff in there - corn, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, whatever strikes your fancy.

this sounds delicious. Thank you for sharing!

I am a monster without breakfast haha. I usually have a whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter with a piece of fruit (I also like banana slices on top of it). I usually love scrambled eggs but I have them for lunch or dinner.

I got this recipe from a biggest loser book. its delicious! I make the sauce on a sunday and use it all week long. so it only takes 5 minutes to make in the morning!

Huevos Rancheros

ground pepper to taste
1/2 tsp dried chipotle powder
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
