Grab and Go Breakfasts???

Thanks for sharing............the cauliflower and zucchini look fabulous! Will have to looke for them in Costco.

I tend to eat a couple small things throughout the morning instead of one larger meal. One meal leaves me sleepy and then I'm hungry before lunch. I like Kashi cereal bars, granola bars, homemade biscotti, homemade microwave breakfast burritos, hard boiled eggs, instant oatmeal, dry cereal, or whatever strikes my fancy at the grocery store that week. I put my breakfast and lunch together the night before and get my milk and sugar mixed in my travel cup so I'm more organized in the morning. All I have to do is throw everything in my bag, pour my coffee and I'm out the door. (In theory at least. I've discovered that the more organized I am, the harder it is for the dogs to find just the right spot outside.)

bump!
Also, you could just make a quick bowl of instant cream of wheat with skim milk and i put a little brown sugar in mine.

fiber one honey squares with yogurt and fruit. If you want to eat it on the go just skip to yogurt and save it for protien snack later.

Hardboiled eggs are my go-to breakfast on the run. Nice balance of protein, fat, and tiny bit of carbs.

Sunday night, hard boil a weeks worth of eggs or what ever. Peel them and put them in the fidge. Each egg is about 70 calories. eat with a yogurt or toast. I like to nuke turkey sausage with it!!

it takes minutes to eat breakfast, especially if you prepare it the night before, i never used to have breakfast either, coz i would rather be in bed for 5 extra minutes, but if you get your low sugar cereal ready the night before all you have to do is pour some milk in and eat, takes 2mins or if you want something hot, oatso simple hot oat sachets are great, just follow the instructions and instead of waiting around the two mins its in the microwave, have your shower/ get dressed/ dry hair/ apply make up whatever whilst its cook and then (if you are like me) coooling down enough to be able to eat, eat it, brush teeth and off you go. or at least grab a piece of fruit to eat on your way, an apple, banana, clementines, anything (i don't have this luxury as i am alergic to most raw fruits although i do take clementines to university to eat as a snack in lectures, much better than the crisps and chocolate bars i used to snack on! )

LOVE this idea. Little baby frittatas!!

Make sure you avoid as many processed grab and go breakfast foods as possible. If your goal is to live a healthy lifestyle while losing weight then try making your own food ahead of time. Dont' just pay attention to the calories but rather where the calories are coming from. Most of the prepackaged breakfast options on the market have so many preservatives that are horrible for your health. Try making oatmeal muffins, smoothies, breakfast burritios, protein bars or other yummy treats for the week. This makes it easy to stay healthy, be active and lose weight.

banana every week day. Weekends I usually have a 'breakfast quesadilla'
