12 Quick Breakfast Ideas

This is a list from CookingLight.com but it features some great ideas (many of which I already do!).

1|Single-serving bowls of whole-grain cereal are packed with vitamins and minerals.


2| Pair string cheese with whole wheat crackers.



3| Hard-boil several eggs to have on hand for busy mornings.



4| Small cartons of low-fat yogurt are a good combination of carbohydrates and protein.



5| Whole-grain English muffins can serve as a base for a breakfast sandwich. Spread on peanut butter, a source of satisfying protein and heart-healthy fats.



6| Make breakfast wraps with whole wheat tortillas; roll in lean protein, such as turkey and low-fat cheese, scrambled eggs with diced peppers and onions, or peanut butter and bananas.



7| Keep low-fat cheese slices on hand for breakfast sandwiches.



8| Single-serving cartons of low-fat, low-sodium cottage cheese are a good source of protein; stir in berries or fruit for fiber.



9| Top whole wheat toaster waffles with a tablespoon of peanut butter and/or fruit preserves.




10| Try soy or lean turkey sausage patties (you can eat them alone or put them in a breakfast wrap or sandwich).



11| Stir a tablespoon or two of fruit preserves or chopped dried fruit into plain instant oatmeal to add a touch of sweetness.



12| For protein, add a tablespoon or two of nuts to your yogurt or oatmeal. Stir frozen berries into oatmeal or yogurt to boost the vitamin content.
