Here are some ideas for breakfast:

Cottage cheese bowl

• Blueberry Almond Cottage Cheese Bowl
• Cottage cheese with a Tbsp. of real fruit preserves

Yogurt Parfait

• Yogurt parfait
• Fruit on the Bottom
• Granola for yogurt parfait

Eggs in the Microwave with toast and sausage or uncured bacon

Scramble eggs in a Mason jar or mug that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Add cheese and veggies. Microwave for a minute and half. Continue cooking for 30 seconds at a time until the eggs are set.

Smoothie with sausage or uncured bacon

• Smoothie Packs
• Copycat “Blimey Limey” (Tropical Smoothie)
• Fruit Smoothie
• Dole Whip Smoothie
• Ginger Pineapple Smoothie – Back to School (Secret Recipe Club)

Add Greek yogurt or cottage cheese for extra protein and gut health.

Breakfast sandwich

Get croissants, biscuits, or bagels. Add egg, cheese, and sausage or uncured bacon to the sandwich. Freeze.
If you are organized, pull the breakfast sandwich out the night before and put in the fridge.
Place in the microwave with a dampened paper towel for a minute at a time until it is warmed.

Breakfast burrito or taco

Scramble eggs with crumbled sausage, cubed potatoes (if you like those in your burrito), onions, peppers, green chilis. Place in a floured tortilla with cheese. Roll like a burrito. You can freeze them for later. Follow the same instructions as the breakfast sandwich about warming them up.

Protein coffee with a good carb
Iced Coffee using Instant Coffee – add the protein drink to the coffee instead of creamer and milk

• Whole grains such as oatmeal or whole grain toast – If you are in a hurry, the toast would be easiest to grab on the go. Spread some nut butter on it and you are good to go.
• Fruit – Grab an apple. Slice it and dip it in some nut butter.
• A handful of nuts
• Or some granola

Overnight Oats

My current favorite is Seven Sundays. I add equal amounts of oatmeal and almond milk. Then I stick it in the fridge. In the morning, I add pumpkin seeds, pecans, and chocolate chips. This is a quick way for me to get protein and whole grain oats.

• Overnight Oatmeal
• Applesauce Overnight Oatmeal
• Apple Cinnamon Instant Oatmeal or Overnight Oatmeal
• Chocolate Almond Overnight Oats and Sunday Prep Idea List

Two Minute Pancake in a Bowl

Top with whatever you like – nut butter, real maple syrup, nuts, pumpkin seeds, chocolate chips, or fruit.

I hope this list helps you on busy mornings.

Stay kind!

Have a magical day,
