    I've been having a cup of berries topped over greek yoghurt and porridge oats, with a tablespoon of honey and sultanas drizzled over it. Very filling and sweet enough for my sugar cravings so it's a winner in my book:)

    I eat one wedge of the low fat creamy Swiss laughing cow cheese spread over two slices of low calorie 7 grain bread (45 cal. Slice) sometimes with a microwave scrambled egg and a clementine.

    Any good breakfast ideas for a busy mom? I am so busy in the morning that I don't have time to eat. I used to just go to McDonalds on my way to work. I've been having slim fast bars or shakes most of the time, but am getting sick of them.

    Have bananas and apples on hand and grab one of each. I usually take my breakfast to work and eat it there.

    Eggs (I usually go for 2), a scoop of low-fat cottage cheese, and whatever veggies you like (tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, broccoli) all scrambled together. So yummy! And only around 180 cals :-)

    mmm, I'm gonna have to try that! right up my alley

    I eat the following

    a banana smoothie made with 1/2 cup frozen sliced banana with 1/4 cup non-fat vanilla yogurt and 1/2 cup water
    1/4 cup of egg beaters scrambled with 1/2 cup raw spinach and 1 tbsp of fat free crumbled feta cheese
    1/2 cup oatmeal with 1/8 cup blueberries

    hi one morning I will do oatmeal with apple and cinnamon; next day I do a whole wheat muffin and 1 cup of fruit, third day I do a yogurt fruit smoothie, that is my routine. Hope this helps.

    I eat plain oatmeal mixed with fresh berries and walnuts and a couple of eggs. I look forward to breakfast every day!

    My fav breakfast is 2 whole grain waffles with 1/2 teaspoon of creamy peanut butter on each. Then cut up a banana 1/2 on each waffle. OMGOODNESS so yummy!! I am trying to really hit the protein hard in the morning because I am lifting early in the morning.

    I eat oatmeal sometime but am not a big fan of it.

    I've found that I'm not really enjoying the quaker oats as much as I used to anymore...have you tried oatmeal beyond the quaker/store brand quaker instant oatmeal?

    Steel cut is great...there's also an instant brand called Better Oats "Oat Revolution" that is really good.

    ^This! i love oat revolution! i get the maple and brown sugar kind and put a serving of unsweetened applesauce in it to bulk it up and cool it down. it's 210 calories for the two together.

    Favorite thing in the whole world for breakfast? Here it is:

    1/4 cup frozen blueberries
    1/4 cup frozen strawberries
    1/4 cup frozen peaches
    1/2 cup 100% pom. juice (I use pom wonderful)
    1/4 cup soy milk (but you can use real milk if you perfer)
    1 TBLS of flaxseed (added healthy omega 3s!)

    blend it up! and eat it or perhaps drink it :P. If you want some added nutrients, I sometimes add some spinach or kale (which you can't taste since it's masked by the fruits)

    Soo good. You can make something really similar for dessert without the flax or soy milk and it turns out very similar to sorbet. When I told my boyfriend that it was a health food he was super excited because it tastes so good.

    If you want some more recipes let me know, I love breakfast. Also, if you get sick of oatmeal (which I do too because it gets old), add some frozen berries to it while you cook it and then top it off with a fresh banana. Helps with the fruit consumption but also helps to naturally sweeten the oatmeal without the added sugar.

    Good luck!

    This has become my regular:

    - Thomas Bagel Thins whole grain
    - One whole fried egg
    - One egg white
    - One piece of Weight Watchers Reduced Fat cheese (tastes good, promise)
    - 3-4 slice of Jennie-O or Sara Lee turkey (cracked pepper tastes the best)

    Altogether, it's 300 calories and 31 grams of protein. Keeps me full for hours.

    I agree that the Oat Revolution is better than the Quaker. Tonight I got some of the Cinnamon Spice flavor of Better Oats....we'll see if it is any better! In the morning I'm doing a whole grain Thomas english muffin and a wedge of Laughing Cow chipotle cheese.

    I am on a toast kick these days. Whole wheat toast with a tablespoon of almond butter. we can't have peanut butter in our house, so we switched to almond butter. it has won me over!
