Need some ideas for breakfast

I spray a muffin tin with cooking spray and crack an egg into each one. I bake the eggs at 350 for about 15-20 minutes. I then use the eggs to assemble egg-english muffin sandwiches that I freeze (individually wrapped in foil). Then, I just pop one in the oven in the morning while I'm taking a shower and breakfast is ready when I'm done (need to bake for about 20 minutes or so). I put some shredded spinach on the sandwich for some added nutrients and I have a great, hot breakfast meal. You can microwave them too, I guess, but I prefer them crispy from the oven!

I found this recipe on a thread here...it's with spinach and feta but there's other options like adding bacon or whatever your taste is.

Mediterranean Egg Cups

1/8 Cup Chopped frozen Spinach (thawed)
1 TBSP Crumbled Feta
1 tsp Chopped sun Dried Tomatoes
4 TBSP Egg Whites

Put Spinach, feta, and sun dried tomatoes in a muffin pan. Add egg whites. Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Makes 1 Muffin, if you make extras refrigerate them and heat up later

I am SO going to try this!!!!

Luckily, I don't need to get up as early as you but if you can allow yourself
10 min to prepare/cook these are my go to's:

Egg Sandwhich: 1/2 egg beaters, light english muffin, turkey bacon or turkey sausage, sprinkle of reduced fat cheese
(protein packed warm breakfast!- try with a bagle flat too!)

Protein Pancake: 1/2 cup old fashioned oatmeal, 1/4 cup egg whites, pumpkin pie/apple pie spice mixed together
(add a little splenda if you like it sweet). Cook over med-hi heat in a pan coated with cooking spray.

2 Lowfat waffles with healthy peanut butter and sugar free jelly.

No time to cook? Kashi Go Lean cereal w/ low fat or skim mlk, Greek yogurt with a little granola or kashi cereal,
or in a pinch an energy bar will do.

I usually drink milk or almond milk with any of these selections with a piece of fruit to round it out!

Most days I either eat scrambled eggs with bacon, an english muffin with peanut butter, or a bowl of cereal. All with some type of fruit. Today I had a waffle with nutella on it though.

right??? they sound amazing

I make these ahead of time: eggs and bacon in a muffin tin. Bake for about 20 minutes then freeze in individual servings. I defrost mine the night before when I pack my lunch. Then heat for about 30 seconds in microwave. You can also put any kind of deli meat as a "liner" in the muffin tin and mix up an omlete to fill the cups and bake for 20 minutes.

I also like these options too:
Oatmeal
Yogurt with Bear naked granola mixed in

how about...(all are about 300-400 calories)

1. cook a huge pot of oatmeal--put 1 cup in a bowl each day, top with milk, banana, and pb...nuke for 1-2 minutes and sweeten as desired.

2. hardboiled eggs--make the entire dozen and have 2 a morning along with a banana and cup of milk.

3. 1 flavored greek yogurt w/ 1 cup whole grain cereal and 1/2 cup berries

4. ww tortilla, 1/2 cup beans, cheese...fold over and nuke for 1 min. have w/ glass of milk.

5. 1 ww english muffin spread w/ pb and sliced banana...drizzle honey. milk or yogurt

My favorite breakfast is our homemade breakfast pockets. These take a little bit of time to pre-prepare them, but then they're super easy every morning.

My boyfriend and I make a batch or two (16/batch) every week or so and freeze them, then every morning we pop two in the oven frozen at 350º while we're getting ready and they're ready to take out the door with us!

I started with this recipe from Budget Gourmet mom: http://www.budgetgourmetmom.com/breakfast-pockets/

For the dough, instead of oil, I use unsweetened apple sauce and I've swapped up to half the flour for whole wheat flour too.
For the filling, we use egg beaters, spray olive oil and any veggies we happen to have on hand (with spinach, mushrooms, and peppers being the favorites!). Without an extra meat, they come in at around 200 calories/pocket and, this week's with Turkey ham is 236/pocket.

Mine weren't very pretty the first time, but they've always been delicious and they're fun to experiment with. Plus, the mix of fiber, protein, and carbs keeps me full till lunch!

I do boiled eggs, light and fit yogurt, instant oatmeal (made at work), instant carnation no sugar added shakes, grab fruit, protien packs from starbucks,

this meal of the day is my biggest problem. Im not a great breakfast lover, but find that when i eat breakfast im hungry again about 2 hours later. Need something other than smoothies to fill me up!!!

Protein is key. My staple fill-me-up breakfast is 6 oz of Fage non-fat Greek yogurt (I've tried all the brands; Fage is the creamiest) with 1/8 cup shelled pistachios. Keeps me satisfied until lunch.

Bump.

M usual breakfast

A citrus fruit- either tangerine or orange
1 oz of almonds
1 hard boiled egg

along with coffee

easy for me to eat and gives me sufficient amount of protein to take on a 8.5 hour school day.

Good luck!!

I make a green smoothie in the morning that is quick and good.

It is 274 calories for the four ingredients listed below:

1 banana cut up, frozen
1 cup Almond milk (I use vanilla almond) OR Coconut Milk
2 cup raw spinach (I started out using less)
1-2 Tbl ground flax seed

(Some days I change it up and add peanut butter....ground chia seed instead of flax seed.... frozen cherries or frozen mixed berries...oats.)



I just found this recipe I would like to try. I will probably omit the chocolate chips. These can be made ahead of time and can be taken on the go.

No-Bake Energy Bites

Ingredients:

* 1 cup (dry) oatmeal (I used old-fashioned oats)
* 1 cup toasted coconut flakes
* 1/2 cup chocolate chips
* 1/2 cup peanut butter
* 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
* 1/3 cup honey
* 1 tsp. vanilla

Method:

Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed. Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you would like. (Mine were about 1″ in diameter.) Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Makes about 20-25 balls.

Ali’s Tip:

Substitution ideas can abound for just about any of these ingredients! Feel free to substitute in your favorite nut butter (almond butter, sunflower seed butter, etc.) for the peanut butter. And you could also add in some wheat germ in place of some or all of the flaxseed. I would caution, though, against substituting agave nectar for the honey, as the honey’s thickness helps hold things together.

Some other fun substitutions for the chocolate chips (or an addition to them) could include:

* chopped dried fruit (apricots, dates, raisins, etc.)
* dried berries (cranberries, cherries, etc.)
* chopped almonds, pecans, or sunflower seeds
* other chips (butterscotch, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, etc.)

Update: Many of you in the comments have asked about substitutions for other ingredients. The joy of these bites being “no bakes” is that this recipe is super flexible. If you end up needing to omit one of the dry ingredients (such as coconut or flax), just add in some extra of whatever other dry ingredient is remaining (for example, the oats). If you feel like your energy bites are too dry, just add in extra honey or peanut butter. Enjoy!!!
