Help! Breakfast on the Run!

  • Hi everyone,

    I'm really trying to gear up to start South Beach again - I had great success with it in the past. My issue is this: I started teaching not too long ago in a district 20 min. from my house. The district has a fitness facility which is great! However, I am headed to the gym 5 days a week at 5:30 am, shower and get ready there, and then head straight to school. I need some very easy breakfast options that can be eaten on the go! I do have access to a microwave and fridge once I get to school. It's just that I'm not sure what to eat during P1 that's not a sausage and cheese cup everyday. Any other ideas? I tried searching the recipe forum but didn't really come up with much.

    Thanks so much!
  • I love the greek yogurt with sliced almonds or some flax meal. Refried beans with salsa is also an easy and quick breakfast at work.
  • I teach also. You can boil some eggs and keep them in the fridge and bring along a small salad that is loaded with vegs...OR bring leftovers from the night before.

    My favorite quick phase 2 and beyond breakfast is a turkey and spinich sandwich on ezekial bread. I eat it around 6:30 and it keeps me going till lunch at 11:40.
  • low fat cottage cheese and 1/2 cup of raw vegetables or
    low fat cottage cheese and a small can of V8

    Phase 2 you can premake real oatmeal, put in one serving containers and heat up in the microwave. Have with veggies or V8 and a small serving of berries.
  • I actually enjoyed those roll ups....take a piece of turkey, smear some cream cheese on part, I place slices of onion, red pepper and cucumber, then sprinkled some Nature's seasonings, then rolled up. Kinda weird initially for breakfast, but got over that REAL fast!!
  • I like to have cottage cheese with cinnamon and splenda for breakfast with a can of tomato juice. I have this a lot even when I'm on phase 2.
  • THANK YOU!!! I appreciate the suggestions! I have a lot of these in the house already and didn't realize it.
