Breakfast ideas?

I need some quick, healthy on-the-go breakfast ideas. Normally I eat a container of yogurt mixed with Grape Nuts, but I need some variety. It either has to be something I can make the night before or super fast in the morning because I get up at 4am to head to the gym and anything that requires much thought that early in the morning isn't going to work out too well for me...

    Good Morning, this is what I do in the mornings, I make a yoplait frozen smoothie. You can find the pouches in the frozen foods. I found them in the isle with the ice cream and frozen berries. You make the whole pouch with 1 cup of milk and blend till smooth and it is worth 110 calories prepared. I also hard boil eggs on sunday enough for the week and I eat two of those on my way into work then I eat 1 cup of oatmeal when I get in, plus my cup of milk and string cheese. Roughly about 400 calories for the morning..till i get a snack at 10:30am.

    Hope that helps.

    Hey Sis!!!!

    It probably isn’t as healthy as it could be, but I'm having Chex Mix and fruit for breakfast this week. I had to find something other than yogurt before I started pulling into McDonald’s every morning out of food boredom. Since I'm not really huge on sweet stuff in the morning, I liked the idea of the salty Chex Mix. Sunday, I divided out a serving for every morning and then I just grab it and a piece of fruit on the way out the door.

    I eat breakfast at work which requires ease and minimal supplies. My usual options include:

    cereal with low-fat plain yogurt instead of milk

    light multigrain thomas english muffin and 5 slices deli turkey zapped in the microwave for 25 seconds
    (8 grams fiber, 12 protein, 140 calories) :drinker:

    Kix or cheerios with skim milk

    For my early gym mornings, I like nuts and dried fruit. On the weekend, you can measure and make little containers. Keep them in the car and they're super easy to eat on the go! I also love Clif brand bars - regular and Mojo. The are mostly organic, no artificial junk, and high in protein. Easy to find at Walmart, Target, etc..

    Thompson Mini Bagel with Weight Watchers single serving cream cheese
    Organic Apple
    Raw Milk Cheese slice
    Coffee with 2 spendas and 1 oz 2% milk

    Sometimes I switch out the cheese or bagel and cream cheese for a boiled egg and the apple for an orange. I always have the coffee. As a treat, I get a Starbucks Grande Cafe Latte Skinny w/ splenda.

    The last two days I had VitaTop muffins. I used to only be able to find them online but now they are in the grocery store in the frozen food section. They are 100 Calories, 1g fat, 22g carb, 4g protein, low sodium, high fiber, no cholesterol, and packed full of vitamins.

    Switching your core foods around is an excellant idea to combat boredom. Another trick is to spread breakfast out. Like eat the apple and cheese and the Bagel and cream cheese an hour or two later. I sometimes sprinkle a few dried cranberries or almonds on the cream cheese depending on my mood.

    Thursdays are usually days that I have to get going fast, so I got this idea from Fitness Magazine.

    1 hard boiled egg
    1/2 cup grapes
    1/2 ounce cheddar cheese
    6 whole grain crackers (I used Triscuit)

    You can put this together the night before, and run out the door.

    Thanks everyone... I had never even thought about hard boiled eggs. Of course now I have a vision of me cracking one open on my forehead and it not being cooked (I just finished reading a Ramona Quimby book to my girls).

    I make my own almond butter and have it on whole wheat toast (usually 2 pieces). Keeps me pretty full for a while and it's super fast.
