Premade Bring To Work Breakfast Ideas

Wonderful ideas! I've been trying to stick to hardboiled eggs and oatmeal but have been falling into my old full-on bagel and cream cheese trap. Really needed some new ideas. I'm going to try the egg cupcakes/mini-quiches for sure.

Thanks everyone!

I bring several things of chobani greek yogurt and a box of Go Lean Crunch with me at the beginning of the week. Then I have a yogurt and I put Go Lean Crunch in it. It is really good. I have my husband eating it now too.

I am new to this and looking for great breakfast ideas. However, it must be eggfree or minimal eggdue to a slight allergy to eggs. Any suggestions are welcome!

Using a muffin pan, make mini omelets on Sunday night. In each muffin hole, add an egg (mix well), low fat cheese, and some veggies. Bake them until cooked, let them cool, then put them i the fridge. Then you can pull one or two of them out each morning for breakfast to go.

A friend told me about this except she put a piece of ham (or she said I could use turkey breast) and shape it into the form of the muffin hole, add the egg or egg whites, low fat cheese and anything else you want and bake. I will have to try this!

I love the sandwich idea. Curious how they cook up though, microwave?

I sometimes do the slow cooker steel cut oats, make a batch Sunday night and bring a cup everyday to work to eat at my desk.

Or i do the spice muffins someone posted here once (recipe below). I bring 2 of them to eat at my desk (94 cals each). I freeze them and take 2 out of the freezer the night before. I always bring a hard boiled egg for the protein.

Spice cake breakfast bars:

Take just a general cake mix (preferably spice), mix in 1 cup of pineapple tidbits, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup raisins and 1/4 cup shredded carrots and add 2 cups of dry powdered milk to the dry mix, add the water that the box calls for and bake. You will come up with a dense breakfast bar that not only is a grab and go item, but has one serving of fruit & vegetables in in, along with the nutritional value of one 8 oz serving of milk.

Change out adding coconut, chocolate chips, M&M's and other goodies for a sweetness and crunch change.

* Do not add anything the cake mix calls for, just the ingredients above.

I love to have a Lara Bar for breakfast, but I'm going to try the spice cake breakfast bars! If I'm not having a Lara Bar, it's greek yogurt or a healthy cereal with skim milk.

I don't buy mine from the grocery story, but my favorite go-to on-the-go breakfast is these homemade breakfast pockets.

I base my recipe on this and then just make a batch or two and freeze them. Then, in the morning, I throw them in when I turn the oven on to 350º, and then when I'm ready to walk out the door 30 minutes later, they're perfect to grab and go.

For dough I sub applesauce for the oil and up to half the flour for whole wheat.
In the filling I use low fat turkey ham or whatever I have on hand, egg beaters, and extra veggies (spinach and mushrooms are a favorite)!

I think they're great and keep me full all day (and come in really cheap at approx $1-$1.30 a pocket depending on if you add extra meat or not!)

This looked so yummy that I entered it in to MFP as a recipe so I could check out the calories. I entered it exactly as originally written and it came out as 377 calories a pocket - not bad at all! A few substitutes would probably lower this number, esp switching out the sausage for a lower calorie meat or more veggies. I'm going to try these (-:

I love the sandwich idea. Curious how they cook up though, microwave?

He's got a toaster oven at work. I suggest toasting it in a toaster oven if you have and reheating in a microwave. Or (so wasteful on energy though) using broil on your oven.

BUMP :happy:
