I don't usually do breakfast very well, but I'm trying.
I had lap band surgery in Oct and have a hard time eating breakfast when I get up. I usually have to wait at least an hour or two. I was thinking about making a casserole or something similar that I could take to work with me and heat up.
Does anyone have any recipes? casserole or maybe breakfast muffins? Something that keeps well in the fridge, or freezes well.
Thanks for all your help!

    this is super easy and came straight from my nutritionist so is somewhat low fat and is healthy...

    1 wholewheat english muffin
    1 slice of turkey bacon
    1 light babybel
    1/2 cup of fruit on the side (I usually pick blueberries, blackberries etc.)

    I make smoothies and take them to work.

    1 small yogurt container (I use vanilla)
    3/4 - 1c milk
    1c frozen fruit (blueberries, strawberries, whatever works for you)
    *sometimes I add a little banana just to change up the flavor

    I blend it in my Magic Bullet (I love that thing!). Takes me 1.5 minutes to make breakfast on the go. LOVE IT!!

    I also try to get some protein in too, so I usually have hard boiled eggs in my fridge and take 2 with me.

    Hope that helps!

    those quiche cups sound great, thanks! Also, thanks for the website.

    I'll also get some english muffins. I used to eat those all the time. Why is it I can never think of these ideas on my own? I read it here and it's like , Duh!?!

    I eat 2 nutrigrain waffles, just pop in the toaster or microwave. i put peanut butter on them sometimes, jelly sometimes, and sometimes just eat them plain with a yogurt smoothie (for some reason, that tastes really great together!).

    I'm a fan of Fage Greek yogurt. It's got 15 g of protien for a 6 oz. package and only 90 calories. Add some honey, fresh fruit preserves or just the fruit, and it's tastey and filling.
