Besides my breakfast stuff (greek yogurt with berries, scrambled egg whites and oatmeal) I have raw carrots, mushrooms and spinach I snack on all day while at work.0

I make my green monster for breakfast.
2 Servings:
1 individual container greek yogurt
1 cup almond milk
1 banana
1 cup strawberries
2 cups fresh baby spinach
handful of ice cubes
Mix it up in a blender and it tastes just like a strawberry/banana smoothie.
This looks great except for....doesn't the spinach make it taste nasty??0 -

Nope. I buy the bags of the baby spinach. Its not the runny spinach from a can. My fiancee hates most vegetables but she drinks one of these every morning with me and likes them.0 -
Portable breakfast ideas I like:
if you don't have far to go, you can make a breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese, and veggie or real bacon on a multigrain english muffin, wrap it in aluminum foil and eat it when you get there. I make one that is only 290 calories and it tides me over until lunch!
You can do a half-calorie bagel with peanut butter or cream cheese (again wrap it up and take it with you)
if you have access to a kettle, you can take a package of instant oatmeal and eat it there
you can also take a serving of cereal and a single milk and have cereal at work....but i personally don't find that too filling.
you could make a parfait and take it with you: 1/2 cup yogurt or greek yogurt, 1/2 berries, 1/3 cup granola is quite substantial, filling, and not too high in calories.0 -

Does the spinach discolour it? I love all those ingredients, but I don't know if I could get past a gross colour0 -

I enjoy "non-breakfast' foods for breaky. Stir-frys are a fave, and they are yummy as leftovers. Quick and easy. Buy some stirfry protein options (chicken, pork etc), frozen stirfry veggies, brown rice (I make enough rice to last me for a few days).
For the traditional breakfast ideas--instant oatmeal, mixed berries (hemp heart seeds sprinkled on top are great for protein), smoothies, fruit.0 -

Yes it discolors it. Has a brownish green color to it. Besides that it taste just like a strawberry/banana smothie.0 -
