Quick Breakfast Ideas?

It sounds boring, but I have started relying on fresh fruit for quick and easy breakfasts. I was getting so bad about getting into the fast food rut and stopping by McD's every morning. Now, I always make sure to have fresh bananas, apples and pears on hand, as well as yogurt and smoothies that have 100 cals or less. Weight watchers makes "toaster pastry" type things in breakfast flavors as well as WW breakfast bowls with eggs and sausage in them. Good luck!

Grapenuts with berries and yoghurt maybe? Won't go soggy. Or scrambled egg done in the microwave. Or make a salad? I used to always eat a light-lunch type meal for breakfast and it helped with weight loss because I was eating protein in the morning.

I do scrambled egg white over a wasa cracker with a wedge of laughing cow cheese and some salsa. It fills me up for about 3 hours. Egg white can be microwaved to be quicker.

English Muffin- Thomas Fiber 100 cal is what I use with 4 table spoons egg white (actually taste good) and 2 piece Canadian bacon 160 Calories total.
Takes less than 5 min for this warm up CB in pan when egg is done.

You can always turn it into an omelet if you have what ever you want prepared for it the night before throw it in the pan add the veggies.

I make a batch of pancakes and freeze them. In the mornings my kids like to pop one in the toaster, then wrap it around a banana and eat it. One of the little crazies puts peanut butter or nutella on it first.

How about something like a Carnation Instant Breakfast that you add milk to? Those usually fill me up and you can eat a piece of fruit with it. I also like Fiber One Oats and chocolate bars. I'm trying to do less processed stuff, but some days, it's either something processed or nothing at all. I've also done like a yogurt parfait, made up the night before. Just some yogurt and frozen fruit, layered in a glass or dish. The fruit is thawed (mostly) by morning.

150g of vanilla yoghurt and 50g of frozen raspberries, 100g of sliced strawberries or a passionfruit is my best breakfast.

Or

A slice of grain toast with 10g of raspberry jam (a good quality full of fruit one).

To be honest, I actually have the toast when I get up and the yoghurt an hour or so after arriving at work. Keeps my metabolism kicking all morning!!

I have made the biggest loser mini frittatas. Take the time to bake them, throw them in the freezer. thaw in micro and good to go. They are delicious and so easy to make. Breakfast is so important, so it is nice to have something you like!!

1 cup steamed broccoli chopped
2 cups egg substitute
2 oz (1c.) finely shredded light cheddar cheese

Divide broccoli evenly in 8 cups of a standard 12 muffin tin sprayed with Pam.
Then divide the egg substitute evenly (1/4c.)
Bake at 350 for 7-9 minutes remove and add cheese. Bake for another 8-10 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack.

I just made some low fat banana nut muffins...breakfast for the whole week with a piece of fruit or yogurt..you're good to go!

You have the recipe to share? :flowerforyou:

I spend about 30 seconds each morning preparing my breakfast! I eat fat-free greek strawberry yogurt, and sometimes I add Quaker granola. My favorite brand of yogurt is Lucerne, but there is something out there for everybody! I keep a container of granola in my car, so each morning I grab a can of yogurt and race out the door. When I'm at the stoplight at the end of my street, I sprinkle some granola in my yogurt, and stir. It's a nice, portable way to stock up on protein in the morning! I teach kindergarten, and it gets me through the morning.

I am the worst about breakfast. I use to rely on cereal but it's too easy to overeat cereal. My go-tos now are bagel thins. Sometimes I will just make a sandwich or heat up leftovers. It doesn't have to be very breakfasty. You might try the muffins made with pumpkin puree. It's one box of cake mix (any flavor) and one can of pumpkin puree (15 oz.) and mix together and cook according to the box. Very tastey and about 140 calories.

I find that when I am really pressed for time...which is always! I either have a protien shake or I throw some egg whites w/spice in the microwave and then pop it into a low carb, high fiber wrap and basically it's like the Tim Horton egg wrap - Only HEALTHY!

I really like the Smart Ones breakfast sandwiches. I used to love Egg McMuffins from McDonalds and the Weight Watchers version is better in my opinion. Only egg whites are used and the canadian bacon is actually turkey bacon. Also, I have always LOVED egg toast. That is, the piece of bread with the hole in the middle that contains an egg. I have made a healthier version using low calorie bread and liquid egg whites with Smart Balance buttery spread made with extra virgin olive oil. It amounts to be 130 calories in total. The Smart Ones Egg Muffin is 210 calories.

I mix 4 oz Greek yogart, fruit, 1/2 scoop protein powder and any spices or flavoring I might want and freeze them in a baggie....I do several ahead of time then I take them out of the freezer the night before and blend in a bullet mixer with milk...nice protein smoothie. Some examples are below:

1.Pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg,allspice, vanilla Greek yogart, 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder

2.banana, Greek yogart, sugar free Chocolate davinci syrup, 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder

3. strawberry/raspberries, greek yougart and vanilla protein powder

I make these egg white "muffins" every week. I play around with the ingredients a lot, too. I like to add spinach and mushrooms and peppers...they are SO quick and easy! My 15m old son loves them too!
