I'm with the "why limit yourself to breakfast foods" crowd. But then I often eat breakfast for dinner, too!
Aside from the usual yogurt with fruit, smoothies, etc., try the following:
- whole wheat english muffin - top with whatever you want ... sliced boiled egg, turkey, tuna, ham, cheese ... or some combination of the above
- breakfast "pizza" - same muffin 1/2 topped with diced tomatoes, turkey bacon, and moz. cheese.
- whole grain waffle with peanut butter and fruit
- cottage cheese with fruit
- quinoa - cooked like oatmeal and either sweetened or served with salt & pepper and butter/cheese
- breakfast burritos made with whole wheat tortillas, egg whites, cheese, and salsa
- Crustless quiches - you can add spinach, cheese, mushroom, etc. Make them in paper muffin cups to make them easier to handle.
- Any kind of fruit/veggie bread made low cal / low fat - I make carrot zucchini muffins, but pumpkin muffins, apple carrot muffins, etc. Spread with yogurt cheese or low fat cream cheese.
- grits - either creamy as a hot cereal type thing, or cooked and sliced into blocks and reheated. (yeah, I'm from the south!
)
Those are just off the top of my head ... I'm sure there are other variations I can think of, given time!
.
Breakfast ideas?
