Make It Special Time
- My husband gets up before I do...I'm NOT a morning person. He makes breakfast for both of us which includes fresh ground coffee (yes from fresh beans), cut up fresh fruit and either bran flakes or whole wheat toast with raw tehini (which I love)...the main thing? I know I have to get up at 7 when I hear the coffee grinder and that we'll have special time together before starting our busy days.

Quick Breakfast Treat
- Make a double batch of my favorite multigrain pancakes. Separate each with wax paper & freeze in a Zip-lock bag. When the day is right, puree a small ripe banana & cinnamon, heat 3 pancakes in the microwave. Warm up the banana slightly too. Pour over pancakes, top with ground flax seeds for a nutty taste. Mmmmm!

Fast Protein Omlette at Work
- I liked the omlette idea above, but I make it even faster! I microwave 2 eggs in the microwave at work (30 seconds just eggs, then add the chopped veggies (I use green peppers/tomatoes & skip the cheese). Then microwave again for about 45 seconds.

The quickest breakfast
- Get a protein shake with already cooked oatmeal added in it. You can find it at your local nutrition store. Being already cooked, it won't expand in your stomach. Add 2% low-fat milk and you have a perfect meal. If you want to step it up add a healthy fat like fish oil or flax seed oil and use 1% fat milk b/c saturated fat is still good for the body in moderation. Hope this helps!

Breakfast Idea
- Quick omlette that only takes 5 minutes. I spray canola oil spray on a non-stick pan & pour in 2 beaten eggs. While those are cooking, I put frozen veggies in the microwave for 2 minutes. Flip the egg, spread a bit of pre-shredded cheese onto the top cover for a minute & add the veggies on top. It's a 5 minute healthy breakfast!

Protein Breakfast
- I get low fat cottage cheese and make up a week's worth of breakfasts on Sunday. 1 cup of cottage cheese with a piece of fruit cut up in it, does me well. I also drink 8 ounces of vegetable juice. I eat at work while I'm starting my day.

Pancake Idea
- Sprinkle wheat germ in pancake batter for extra fiber and prepare on griddle. Top with peanut butter and applesauce.

Breakfast Idea
- On Sunday evening I make smoothie out of whatever fruits I happen to have at home, enough for Monday through Friday, and so I don't have to worry about getting too little fruit in the mornings. A recipe I especially like to use includes apricots, strawberries, raspberries and orange in my smoothies. I always add some natural yoghurt and sometimes honey to add a nice flavour. With my smoothie I usually eat toasted rye bread with low-fat margarine.

My Favourite Breakfast
- I make organic oats, like this - 1/4 of a cup soaked in boiling water for 5 min, 3 tablespoons low fat vanilla yoghurt, 100g frozen raspberries, thawed. Mush it all up and it is heaven. I have it every morning and have done so for a years and believe it or not I am not sick of it.

Fast n Easy Breakfast
- Shredded wheat with banana, blueberries, sprinkle walnuts and 2% milk. Wheat germ, when I have it, makes me good for the day; my nerves are steady and I feel like I can handle anything!

Breakfast Ideas
- My boyfriend likes honey on his oatmeal. I like toast, pancakes, and waffles topped with peanut butter, and drizzled with honey. I also like them topped with butter or margarine and fruit.

Breakfast Idea
- When I go to the supermarket over the weekend, I stock up on very ripe bananas. I buy 5 of them so I have for Monday through Friday. I bring one to work a day so I don't have an excuse for not having a dash of health in my morning!
