Quick Breakfast Foods

Have you ever microwaved eggs? It may not sound good but they are delicious....just crack a couple eggs in a bowl, add a tiny bit of water and beat then microwave for a minute or two and stir inbetween.

i do this too! it works so well! (:

YES! i microwave 2 egg whites with a tiny bit of pepper jack, put it between two slices and eat it on my drive to work.

i have to say, though, that this takes a little trial and error so that you don't explode your breakfast all over your microwave. i do it for 1 min at 70% power and then two 15second periods at 100%. just keep a close eye :flowerforyou:

If you're really in a time bind, cereal in a Solo cup!! Take it with you. . . it fits nicely into the car cupholder. I usually eat some form of Kashi cereal (Go Lean is a favorite) and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I give credit to my husband for the cereal in a cup discovery. .. . granted it may not be the optimal breakfast choice, but it really does take away any excuse for not eating breakfast. =0p

Banana's and Special K bars are quick and you can eat both of them on the go.

Im so easy for breakfast.. i either have cereal, or my new fav, Quaker chocolate chip oatmeal, with half a banana mashed and mixed into it, and a small scoop of whipped cream. 210 calories and completly filling and satisfing for me! :bigsmile:

Porridge with either maple syrup, golden syrup, applesauce/cinnamon/brown sugar, banana & walnut, just plain old salt if you don't have a sweet tooth (I also make enough for 4 days, it keeps perfectly well in the fridge and you can just heat it in the mocrowave, so much cheaper and nicer than the pre-flavoured microwave stuff)

Wholemeal toast with low fat cream chees topped with sliced tomatoes and cucumber, drizzle of olive oil and seasoning (Marmite an optional extra but I think you're American, lol)

Cheese, ham and tomato omelette (I like mine with a squeeze of chilli sauce to liven it up a bit)

Scrambled eggs in the microwave on wholemeal toast and slice of ham

Cinnamon & raisin bagel toasted with chocolate cream cheese

Wholemeal toast with clover honey

Greek yoghurt with honey & walnuts or peach & toasted almonds

Or if you haven't got enough time for any of these, grab an apple and a banana and eat on the go!! :flowerforyou:

I just have an apple for bowl of strawberries if they're in season. If it's cold outside I'll make porridge. All of which take under 3 minutes and require near enough no effort.

Thomas' Mini whole wheat bagel with a tbsp or two of peanut butter, and a Dole cup of sliced tropical fruit. This is my go-to bfast when I'm pressed for time and easy to throw in the lunchbox and eat when I get to work. It's under 400 calories and the fiber-protein combo keeps me full all the way until lunch.

I blend a banana and a yoghurt to make a smoothie (and other fruits) and have a slice of toast also.. lots of good comments giveingnme good ideas for other stuff too!

forgot to say i add 4 - 5 ice cubes with my banana and yoghurt

I have a protein shake every morning. Delicious, healthy and very filling. Full of nutrition!

I put a frying pan, spatula, no calorie crisco spray and aluminum foil out on or near my stove at night. When I wake I spray the pan, add egg (usually low calorie out of a carton), when the egg sets I add canadian bacon to the pan and put muffin in the toaster, flip egg and bacon and wrap in foil to keep warm when done. Extremely satisfying, low calorie & cooks in less than 10 minutes in which time I usually make my cup of coffee.

I really enjoy a green smoothie in the morning. Also- Quest protein bars a GREAT, quality, delicious protein bar you can enjoy on the go. They are very low sugar, very high in fiber, and are some of the best out there, in my opinion

most mornings i have a low fat whole grain waffle with one strip down the middle of low calorie syrup and some defrosted frozen fruit like peaches, strawberries or mango chunks..it takes me about 2 mins
