Breakfast Foods - Help!

My favorite quick, on the go breakfast is a banana.

You can totally eat cereal on the run... in fact your can eat almost anything on the run. It's called a SOLO cup and plastic utensil.

I do high fiber cereal with almond milk and fruit
FF plain greek yogurt with lots a variety mix ins
oatmeal with also variety mix ins
eggs scrambled fits in there too!

If I am rushed...a banana and a greek yogurt are my favs!

i have never been a breakfast person, i just eat a Special K granola bar in the morning while driving to work. It is only 90 cal. It is not a lot, but it is perfect for me since i'm not hungry in the mornings and also like to have something i can take on the go.

I tried fruit smooties for a while also, cut up fresh bananas and strawberries and freeze them, blend with some vanilla protein powder and a splash of water... they were pretty good and i could also take them on the go, but it felt like too much for me.

Fruit! It's energizing even if you don't eat a lot of it.

My staple/normal every day breakfast is 2 eggs/scrambled. I prepare them in the morning while I'm getting my lunch together, etc. I put them in with my lunch and then usally eat them around 9:00-10:00 because I'm usually not hungry until then. I sometimes toast a wheat english muffin to have with it also.

I second the overnight oatmeal! So great and easy to prepare the night before and just grab in the morning. I make it with almond milk and a small amount of Greek yogurt, banana, ground flaxseed and a dash of PB. It's an awesome choice before a morning workout as it keeps you full for ages and you can top it with anything you like.

Squash fritters too -basically that's squash or any other grated veggie with some cheese and enough egg to glue it together baked in the oven for 10 mins. I made batch the night before and took them for work the next day.

I am not a breakfast person by any means. I drink Shakeology (a very delicious nutritional shake) made by beachbody. http://tinyurl.com/6n5pgbb. It's good because it takes 2 seconds to make and I drink it in the car on the way to work. It's high in fiber, protein, low in sugars and it tastes good. I'm filled up and ready to go. On the days that i only have a piece of fruit or a granola bar, I find that I get that sugar high and then crash and then I'm really hungry shortly after.

I don't agree that you should not eat breakfast. Everything I've read suggests that your body needs something after fasting for several hours while you sleep. Also (for me anyway), I exercise in the morning, so there is no way I can work out hard and not eat anything. I use the multiple small meals per day approach, I find that I have fewer cravings and I eat a lot less.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

I usually eat my breakfast after I get to work - usually somewhere between 9:00am and 10:30am. My go-to breakfast to pack is two hard boiled eggs, an avocado and 1/4 cup salsa. When I get to work I peel and chop the eggs, dice the avocado and mix it all together with the salsa. Yummy!

My other breakfast staple is a smoothie that I can whiz up in the blender in under a minute before I head out the door - 2 cups of almond milk, 1 cup frozen blueberries & 1 frozen banana (already pre-portioned and ready to go in the freezer), and 1 scoop of protein powder.

Simple.

Don't eat breakfast.

Contrary to what your mom, your friend, and that one chick says; breakfast is not the most important meal of the day.

If it does not feel right to eat breakfast and you are not hungry; by all means don't force yourself. Use the extra time to pack a good lunch or plan ahead for dinner. Meal frequency can be whatever the *kitten* you want it to be.

Look at it this way, you'll be able to focus more on getting things done in the mornings, and then enjoy a heftier lunch, dinner, and bedtime snack later.

I totally agree with this! If I'm hungry when I wake up then I eat breakfast, but on those pretty rare mornings when I'm not hungry, I don't eat. There's also no rule that says you have to eat breakfast foods for breakfast. This morning I had a broccoli, cauliflower, and Morningstar chicken casserole thingy.

- Protein shake, put in a blender cup or thermos and drink on the way or as soon as you get to work.
- Fruit smoothies you can blend a large batch that will last a couple of mornings, put in a couple of travel cup so you can just take it out of the fridge and go.
- I have cereal at work all the time. Sometimes I just keep the box at work and bring milk in a travel cup or use a zip lock storage bowl with a lid for cereal add a spoon and a reusable ice pack and pack it in with my lunch in an isolated lunch bag. I do make sure to eat it as soon as I get in or the milk gets too warm. On really hot days I'll add a cube or two of ice to the milk, as long as it's not a handful of ice it's not watered down.
- I also keep oatmeal packets at work and use a coffee cup, just add hot water.
- When I want variety I make eggs, omelets, pancakes, french toast, breakfast biscuits, or burritos the day before just microwave and enjoy. You can also look on-line for freezer breakfast recipes. I know these taste better the day of but when you wake up with only enough time to get ready for work, it works!
