I was thinking of making breakfast burritos or other grab & go breakfasts in advance. Something I could put together and freeze or store and then grab and eat (or microwave & eat) on my way out the door. However, all the burritos, muffins, etc all seem to be made of egg or tofu (I don't like the texture of tofu). Does anyone have any ideas for me?

    This would really handy for me know as I'm actually allergic to egg so most healthy "go to" breakfasts contain egg.

    Is there a specific reason you are avoiding egg? It's basically natures ultimate superfood.

    She doesn't like eggs. Not even mayonnaise.

    I'm a fruit smoothie girl for breakfast myself.

    I can't digest eggs well in the morning. My breakfasts usually consist of a brown rice tortilla with peanut butter and all fruit spread.

    Breakfast on-the-go for me is some fruit and a whey protein shake.

    I make a breakfast smoothie with your choice of fruit, whey protein, spinach, and almond milk. It curbs the hunger very well until lunch.

    I have a slim-fast every morning, because it's something I can virtually eat on the way to work! I don't know if it's the best alternative, but it works for me!

    Jimmy Deans makes a Sausage wrapped in a pancake and I know it's not good for you, but I imagine you could make your own. Pick a healthy sausage and then a healthy batter(which you could probably go gluten-free too), make them up, bake them and freeze. Then just pop in the microwave in the AM and bam breakfast on a stick. Just a spur of the moment idea.

    maybe something like a southwest burrito, black beans, salsa, no eggs, could add some ground turkey or something.

    What about oatmeal? There's another thread floating around this morning about overnight oatmeal. Maybe check it out? Or Google it?

    I also do baked potatoes for breakfast. Who says your first meal of the day has to be "breakfast" foods? Eat what you like, what fits into your dietary goals, and enjoy it! In Korea, I had Korean sushi for breakfast a few times.

    Good luck!

    I usually have yogurt with berries, whey protein and a little kashi cereal and flax seeds. Not a to go breakfast, but not bad.

    The smoothies sound pretty good. I could even do them with yogurt (probiotic for digestion) berries, whey and whatever I wanted to throw in the blender.

    OH! I would also do dinner leftovers for breakfast. Put them in a burrito. Oh yes.

    Do you like salmon salad? I used to eat it all the time for breakfast.

    You could cook up some peppers and onions with some turkey breakfast sausage, wrap those up into burritos, freeze, then grab as needed for breakfasts.
    Beans and rice with turkey sausage wrapped into burritos would also make a great freezable grab and go kind of breakfast that would keep you feeling satisfied for quite a while until lunch.
    Bananas with graham crackers are a good choice, and the flavors complement each other.

    Protein shake.

    What about steak? Or chicken? Who says breakfast has to be traditional breakfast food?

    If you are after burrito ideas with out the egg you could use chicken sausage, brats, or some John Morrell sausage.. you could add onions, peppers, mushrooms.. cook it all up and put it in a burrito.

    I agree! I am not a big fan of "breakfast" type foods either, except as dinner. :laugh:
    Do you like cottage cheese? I eat that since it is a good source of protein as well. I also have made a turkey sandwich, maybe you could make a turkey wrap the night before? I don't put dressing on mine if I make it the night before, I just dip it in dressing as I eat it.

    I'm curious as to what other people suggest too. I have found if I eat something primarily carbs for breakfast, I am starving 2 hours later.

    I like a fruit smoothie made with frozen berries because it is more substantial than a protein shake and just as quick as microwaving something. You need (ideally) a small single-serving blender:

    1 cup milk (try unsweetened Almond Milk, but skim works just fine)
    1 scoop vanilla protein powder
    1/2 cup frozen berries (still frozen - I buy them in sacks from the frozen food section at Costco)
    a pack of sweetner if needed to taste

    Dump in blender cup. Blend well.

    I do the shakeology shakes for breakfast. You can add the liquid of your choice, yogurt, fruit, etc and make it different every day. Very healthy but very expensive. However, the one month supply usually last me about 7 weeks, since I only have them on weekdays. On weekend mornings I have cereal or eggs.
