    I sometimes make mini frittatas in muffin tins. Eggs, milk, spinach or kale, some grated cheese, onions, mushrooms and bake. You can probably find better instructions online, but they're great in the morning. I just microwave one and then run out the door!

    For any of you out there that are vegan...I make green smoothies the night before with fruit of your choice, maybe a small banana for texture and lots of greens, i.e. kale, chard, spinach, etc. Whirl it all up in the vita mix, put it in a to-go container and then take it to work in the morning. It's satistying, easily digestible and very healthy. You can adjust the calories based on the fruit you choose. You can also throw in any other healthy additives, such as flax, etc.

    Orowheat Mini Rounds & Old Folks Turkey sausage patties. Cook the sausage for the entire week & make up the sandwiches & put them in ziplocs. In the morning, stick it on a plate & zap to desired heat. Add some mustard or jelly & hit the door! 210 cals for 2 WHOLE sandwiches!! Super low on sodium too!! and 21g of protein!

    There are some great Ideas here...I usually have the same issue.

    My staples are...

    A hard boiled egg with some fresh fruit and a cup of cherrios (various flavors). I can boil the eggs ahead of time and I portion out the cereal into baggies.

    Fage greek yogurt w/ cereal or granola

    Really in a rush: Naked juice smoothie, 1 srvg (usually Blue or Green Machine) and an egg or cereal.

    I pop a Thomas' Whole Grain English muffin into the toaster, smear 1/2 tablespoon of creamy natural peanut butter on each slice, and pour myself a cup of Lite Vanilla soymilk and head out the door. Easy, filling, and low cal. This meal is under 300 calories...I think something like 265 to be exact.

    I am a big fan of protein bars and have one every morning. I was super skeptical at first because I was afraid it would taste like twigs, but the chocolate peanut butter bar from Aldi turned me onto bars (it litterally tastes like a Reeses). Now I am into the Zone Perfect bars becaues there is a pretty good variety and am amazed at how filling (and how long I am full for) especially since they taste great!

    I make these for work, but if you take just a general cake mix (preferably spice), mix in 1 cup of pineapple tidbits, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup raisins and 1/4 cup shredded carrots and add 2 cups of dry powdered milk to the dry mix, add the water and bake, you come up with a dense breakfast bar that not only is a grab and go item, but has one serving of fruit & vegetables in in, along with the nutritional value of one 8 oz serving of milk.

    Our guys love it, (and I serve it to about 4000 people every morning).

    Change out adding coconut, chocolate chips, M&M's and other goodies for a sweetness and crunch change.

    Good Luck on your goals.

    I have the same issue as you, and used to skip breakfast because I wouldn't be hungry, and I wouldn't have time. Then I started grabbing protein shakes. I realized that unless I had protein in the morning, I would snack constantly through lunchtime, seriously upping my caloric intake. What I do now, is I blend my own protein shakes at home the night before, and they hold me through til lunch (most of the time).

    3/4 cup of frozen mixed fruit
    2 cups of spinach (don't worry, it doesn't make the shake taste like spinach)
    2 scoops of Arbonne Vanilla Protein Powder mix
    1 cup of water

    Additional options:
    2 tsp of Paleogreens
    1 tbsp of fiber powder

    To everyone this may sound a bit weird but it is AMAZING!!!!!
    1/2 C oats
    1 T mini chocolate chips
    1 T shredded coconut
    1 T Peanut Butter

    Put all that.....except PB into a small container like a 1 C tupperwear one ahead of time. Pull out of cupboard put hot water into it, mix it and then put the lid back on and let steep. After about 4-5 min (as your getting ready or driving to work) put the PB in and mix well.

    I love it!!! I eat it almost daily.

    bump... this sounds yummy

    Single Serve Muffin - about 215 calories

    3 tablespoons ground flax seed
    1 egg
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

    You put it all in a mug, beat it until it is all mixed and then microwave for 1 minute.
    Dump it out of the mug, cut it in half and put on some butter, jam or peanut butter.

    These are great. I eat one every morning at about 6:30am and it keeps me full until I have my snack at 10:00am.

    if you make them ahead of time, you could make your own breakfast burritos and freeze them, that way you only have to warm them up for a min or two in the microwave. i'd do bacon bits, scrambled egg, low fat cheese and maybe some spinach or something in a low cal/low carb tortilla.... got me wanting one now lol
