Inconvenience! HELP!

If you enjoy protein bars it may help to pack one in your purse each morning with a bottle of water. Promax Bar in BlackForest Cake is a favorite of my husband.

Get up earlier.

Make things ahead of time. There are a lot of breakfast recipes that you can make beforehand and grab on your way out the door. You could even make food for the entire week ahead!

Here's a slideshow of make-ahead breakfast recipes.

Thank you for the link!

set your clocks forward 5 mins, or more if that doesn't work. When I had kids they were 15mins fast but we were never late.

Monday and Tuesday this week my husband and I microwaved leftover spinach and sausage frittata for breakfast. For RUSHED mornings I keep a few Luna bars around. I drink black coffee, and my husband is a morning person, so he makes it. However, before I met him, a coffee pot with a timer really helped.

My favorite breakfast (especially now)
greek yogurt, chopped fruit and granola or chopped nuts (maybe some honey too). You can mix up your own parfaits the night before. Or even all week and then add the granola when you are rushing out the door. Or leave the granola in your desk at work and eat at your desk.

Since this is spring, you can load up on berries. Or even do banana, apple, or frozen fruits. I LOVE frozen mango for this purpose. You can buy one of those 16 oz or 32 oz tubs of plain greek yogurt.

(and still get your coffee, but maybe something a little less fancy: with no whipped cream in a tall)

Make breakfast the night before. You could make a scramble egg with a sausage link and mix veg wrap in a whole wheat tortilla. then in the morning as you are getting ready throw in the microwave, wrap in foil and out the door.

Or go back to your childhood days. Measure out your favorite breakfast cereal in a zip lock bag. In the morning grab your bag and a glass of milk and go. dry cereal and milk.

I agree invest in a machine for home and set the night before and take it. Cheaper, can make less calorie versions of your favorite drink and not tempted by the glass case.

Also apple slices with peanut butter on them would be good. Protein and fruit. Or toast with peanut butter and a piece of fruit.

None of these are ideal but better then a venti Caramel Macchiato (or what ever your favorite is) and an oversize bagel with likely way to much cream cheese.

1. leave earlier!
2. plan ahead - put a muesli bar and an apple in your handbag before you go to bed so you have a quick and healthy (depending on the bar!) snack ready to go.
3. drink black coffee with your apple - you get the caffeine hit without the sugar and calories.
4. change your thinking about fancy Starbucks "coffees" - they are really just candy in disguise. Would you eat candy for breakfast? (I have to admit that I have but I don't recommend it every day!).
5. bake some veggie muffins or mini fritattas on the weekend and put them in the freezer in individual serves so you have something quick and easy to grab on your way out the door.

Make ahead! Hard boil a bunch of eggs, make big pots of your grains and staple veggies for the week to mix with fresh veg. Pre cut/bag snack items (trail mix, carrots, etc.) I try to cook a couple hours on a Sunday and it saves me loads of time during the week. Plus I eat better and save money.

Friday it all goes to *kitten*, but at least I was good for most of the week.

edit: my reply was more about lunch/dinner, but same diff.

I usually end up not having time to prepare breakfast in advance about once per week and Starbucks is my absolute FAVORITE healthy option. I always get black Americanos, which have about 5 calories, and either a spinach-feta-egg white wrap or oatmeal with dried fruit and nuts (hold the sugar). If I've worked out, I add a banana for additional calories. These options are low calorie, relatively low sugar and fat, and high in nutrients. A lot of their pre-packaged plates are good options as well (the protein plate or the chicken with small tortillas, cabbage, salsa, and a couple slices of cheese).

Just stay away from the high calorie drinks and pastries and you should be just fine!

If you wind up at Starbucks, get the oatmeal with fruit and nut (no sugar) for breakfast. Can you drink just a plain latte or coffee with milk? Neither of those is horrible...

I was a Skinny Latte addict! Now I set my coffee maker the night before, bought non fat milk and make a regular coffee and put non fat milk in it with Truvia and take it with me in my coffee traveler mug (tastes just as good!) and for my food I take a Protein bar or a Fiber One bar 90 calories and has chocolate in it...works for me!

On Sundays I am running all over the place getting the kids and myself ready for church.

SO, I get my coffee ready to make the night before...so all I have to do is turn on the machine and I have a Pure Protein bar ready. I eat that during Sunday School while everyone else eats those fried little sausage balls (yes, they look sooooo good!!!)

for me i found what helps me is i bought a kurig and as i'm getting ready to put my things together and head out the door i turn on the machine and coffee is ready in 2 mins. i also found out that the Zone Bars taste great and are 200-210 cals. and loaded with protien and keeps you full. also just found out the k-cups you can get them @ sam's 80 cups for $37.00 and the supermarket has good sales on the Zone Bars 10/$10..

The Starbucks by my house take FOREVER!!! I can make coffee and breakfast at home in less time! Make sure every things good to go the night before and in the morning by the time you're hoping out of the shower... coffees's brewed! I toast half a thomas' fiber english muffin, slap a over easy egg on top, and I'm off!
