Help! I cant seem to find something easy and good for breakfast besides the same ole thing I have been eating. I got sick of eggs and cereal every morning and need new ideas of healthy quick foods. Suggestions?

I love making egg-in-a-basket; that is my go-to breakfast in the morning. I also like Irish oatmeal with some apple, craisins, walnuts, and jam mixed into it. Whole oats are really just as easy as instant, and so much better for you.

What's egg in a basket?

I totally just googled egg in a basket and it looks awesome. I think I might try it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEYP9YvwWvI

bah, stupid work blocking YouTube - I'm emailing that to myself.

okay so this sounds weird - but when I am sick of breakfast I eat "non-breakfast" food for breakfast. My best is sliced deli turkey on original sandwich thins (Orowheat) with just mustard! Really does a great job of carrying me through the morning!

Youtube is blocked here too.

Isn't egg in a basket the breakfast cooked twice in V for Vendetta?

My favorite easy breakfast is a piece of sourdough toast with some avocado spread/mashed on top sprinkled with salt and pepper.

Delicious and satisfying! Mmmm I miss carbs...

My go to breakfast is a ham,egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and a piece of fruit..

First i use one of the Thomas English Muffins that have high fiber(if your on WW they are 1pt)
then i take a slice of deli ham, i use the prepackaged Oscar Meyer stuff) 1 slice is 0pts
i add a piece of Sargento reduced fat Colby (1 pt)
and i cook 1/4 cup egg beaters in the microwave.(spray the inside of a coffee cup with 0 calorie spray and cook for 45-60 seconds or until firm.

i put it all together and cook for about 15-20 seconds and it melts and is so good!I usually eat a piece of fruit with it like a banana or orange... its got tons of fiber, some protein and really keeps me going till lunch.

All together its about 4 points on WW or about 280 Calories

If that's the case I know what it is...

mm i like mexican breakfast! FF refried beans and FF cheese in a corn tortilla with salsa, either as taco or burrito sounds really really good right now. on WW probably around 4 points. and i really think protein in the morning is a good good thing

i know you're sick of eggs, but could def scramble a few and make true bfast tacos.

last night i made a batch of banana nut fiber-one muffins. they are prettttty tasty. i could see myself having a muffin and a yogurt for a quick and easy sweet breakfast.

"Flip it over and pray the egg doesn't splatter everywhere" hahaha! That looks really good. Question, though. What type of butter do you guys use?? I rarely use butter in my food--only just a TAD (like maybe 1/4 tbsp) on a piece of toast...other than that, I don't use it on anything. In the video, he uses a TON of butter.

I was gonna suggest breakfast burritos too. Scramble a couple eggs (or egg whites), cut up a jimmy dean turkey sausage patty into little pieces, maybe add a little FF shredded cheese, and some salsa...on a WW tortilla. Yummy! I even buy frozen 3 pepper & onion mix and saute some of it with my eggs. It's right around 300 calories! It's breakfast food, but doesn't taste like typical breakfast food.

Yeah I noticed all the butter. I just always spray my skillet with Pam when cooking eggs. I don't eat butter unless a specific recipe calls for a small amount of it.

[stellarosa27]

I use Pam on skillets and things (they also make an olive oil based spray) - if I putting it on something I'll use Smart Balance.

JOSTEN FTW on that V reference!!!! HOORAY!!!

Yes, that is eggs in a basket!

I like yogurt with just a little bit of granola in the morning for a crunch or yogurt and a sliced banana.

I also make these little morning muffins. Eggs, cheese and turkey bacon (you could use sausage too). Beat the eggs, put them in a muffin tin (it's best to use a foil vs. paper holder) and bake until done. They're small and you can eat 2 very easily. Plus you can toss them in your purse and microwave for 15-20 seconds at work.

I'm also a fan of making smoothies the night before, throwing it in the fridge and then grabbing it on the way out. I love my magic bullet!

As you can tell, I don't wake up early enough to MAKE breakfast, sit down and eat at home. I get to work at 7 and usually eat around 10.
