I need breakfast ideas

Awesome Thanks, I will be trying these this weekend. I'm sure my kids will love them too.

This morning I did 1/2 cup of egg beaters, 1 tbls. bacon bits - when cooked, topped off with 2 tbls salsa and half of a haas avacado (just under 200 cals). Some mornings I just do 1 pkg. instant cheese grits with a hard cooked egg chopped up in them...........stick to your ribs (170 cals).

scrambled eggs with salsa mixed in after about 250 cals, oatmeal with mandarin oranges 270 cals, still like my toast and peanut butter the 50 cal bread and light peanut butter can have 2 slices and 2 tbsps and it is 260 cals

I really love these Banana Oatmeal "muffins" I just found a recipe for!

3 ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
1c almond milk
2 eggs
3 cups uncooked Oatmeal
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
mini chocolate chips

mix all the ingredients together and bake in muffin tins (I like making the mini size) for 15-20 minutes or until slightly golden brown. The chocolate chips are optional but I like to add a few just for some sweetness. My husband likes to drizzle a little honey over his. Without the choc chips, each mini muffin is 45 calories and a great thing to grab and eat on the go!

All these things are in my house RIGHT NOW....except the chocolate chips. =P

I'm on it!!!

steel cut oats (make a bunch at the beginning of the week and just reheat)
1 T peanut butter
a touch of almond milk
a touch of stevia

I bought a breakfast sandwich maker for $35 on amazon and the combinations of toast eggs and meat, salmon, veggies is amazing. I use if 5 days a week and it cooks a sandwich while I make a K-cup for coffee.

I also bake eggs in a cup cake tin 12 at a time and freeze them. It is the same, add cheese, veggies, salsa, sausage, hash bacon - you name it. Then microwave it about 45 seconds and you have a mini fried egg - scrambled egg sandwich.

Then there is oatmeal and all the stuff you can add, and yogurt and fruit.

I am a single mom and mornings are insane in our house so, on weekdays, I eat a Pure Protein bar (20g protien, 2g sugar, 6g fat) with two glasses of water. That lasts me until well into the afternoon on busy days. On Saturdays, we make omlettes together (everybody has their own different mix-ins) for a healthy time of bonding and cooking lessons. It works for us!

my best trick is to pre-make things on a night when i have some extra time. Especially since my tastes run to the savory instead of sweet for breakfast:

-Scrambled eggs or scrambled tofu (don't knock it till you try it, tastes just like eggs). But the trick is to load them up with tons of sauteed veggies--zuchinni, tomatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms-- whatever you have in the fridge. Then throughout the week I'll grab a portion and eat it with toast, alone, in or low carb tortilla, etc.

-Salt and pepper LF cottage cheese on whole wheat toast. The cottage cheese keeps you filled up.

- Hardboiled eggs seasoned with dill, salt, pepper and cayenne.

-homemade fruit and vegetable juices if you have a juicer are great. 90-100 calories, TONS of nutrients and keeps me full till lunch.

-baked egg and turkey bacon cups. use a muffin tin to bake lightly beaten eggs, turkey bacon, cheese, chives or whatever you like. pop em out ne or two at a time for a single serving on the go.

all these things can be made ahead and store and travel well!

I keep it simple. Here are some things that I keep in my routine:

Two table spoons of peanut butter on two slices of whole grain or whole wheat bread
Power Bagel from Safeway (more protein and less calories than a power bar).
Scrambled egg on whole wheat toast
1 cup Cottage Cheese mixed with a handful of dried cherries
Apples.
1.5 cups of coffee. non-fat powdered creamer and splenda.

Sometimes, I take those pint containers that you get from takeout soup and fill them with 3/4 cup oatmeal, a handful of dried fruits, and some nuts. I have hot water at work so I'm good to go.

Hope you like veggies but this is delish:

I take butter can spray and grease the pan, add chopped green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and spinach. Then I add 3 egg whites and add a little salt & pepper. Remove the omelet and add 2tbsp of mild salsa to the skillet and warm it up. Then add the salsa on top of the omelet. I often put 1/2 slice of American cheese inside the omelet. I love cheese! I eat this almost everyday with a cup of healthy oatmeal. That way I'm adding protein and complex carbohydrates which burn more fuel/calories.

Hope you like this!

Eggs!! I found if you like to have some form of meat for breakfast that turkey sausage and bacon really is pretty good and it's about 100 calories less then pork! That's quite a bit! It's really good too! I made a breakfast burrito today with Turkey sausage, egg whites, on a flat bread. It was awesome!

bump....these are all great ideas!!! i could even do some of the burritos as lunch options

Toast a piece of bread put PB on it with half a banana and sprinkle cinnamon on top yummy

Hi there,
I just recently tried a sout of the border buritto and it was the best one I have ever tasted! Its quick and easy too, and if you really lke it double the recipe and freeze for later in the week.
You will need:
Low fat tortillia wraps
1 cup of mixed veggies I.e. Brocolli, zucini, and sweet bell peppers
Your choice of tofu or pre cooked chicken strips (They are fast and easy)
Heat it all up and add 2 tbls of salsa and some tex mex cheese to taste!!
Yum yum!!
Enjoy!

Old fashioned oats cooked in milk (I like almond milk) with berries. Or fresh apples or peaches. Or about 1/3 cup canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice.

Smoothies! Super quick and easy. I love making them with spinach (no you honestly do NOT taste it), banana, frozen mango chunks, a tbsp of flax seed, and almond or soy milk.
