A fairly quick microwave, and breakfast is ready with a splash of milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-177629 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 20:58:06 +0000 cheesetomywhine 177629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Anytime!

Believe me I would tell you if you could. I make mine with a greek yogurt (any flavor), a banana, spinach, wheat germ, either frozen or fresh fruit, ice, and 100% juice. I used to make it with milk but since I don't finish it at once it ended up separating in the fridge. With the juice and ice blend I don't get any separation. Plus I get the calcium from the yogurt. They're yummy and customizable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-177527 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 17:44:18 +0000 Mrs. Pen 177527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: did you try it, did you, did you?!?! </p> <p>@bluestriped bee: oooh yay :) let me know how it goes! We just went to costco today too.</p> <p>@sorrycharlie: I promise, if you make it right with the correct fruit combinations, you don't taste it! I was so nervous at first but sooo happy that I jumped the gun and tried it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-177523 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 17:37:06 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 177523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe now that summer's here I'll be in more of a smoothie mood - but typically I'm a hot breakfast girl. My favorite quick breakfast is sunflower whole wheat toast topped with low fat cottage cheese (sounds gross, but it's the best combination). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-177454 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 14:55:20 +0000 sorrycharlie 177454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmm I'm intrigued by the green smoothies! I do not eat nearly enough fruits and vegetables. DH is a smoothie fiend, but only fruit, no greens.</p> <p>I'm nervous about tasting the greens though. @jessiejo17, any luck this weekend? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-177432 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 13:37:10 +0000 BSB 177432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Quick? Toasted blueberry bagel with cream cheese or white toast with mango orange jelly.</p> <p>Those of you who make the green smoothies, I want to make them so bad. Need to go out and buy some almond milk, spinach and some fruit. I think it's a good time for a Costco run.</p> <p>I have made smoothies in the past and just freeze them into single servings. So all I have to do is grab one out the freezer or thaw it in the fridge the night before. I got this idea from onceamonthmom.com</p> <p>Yeah, going to go to Costco today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-177426 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 13:23:08 +0000 Boogs 177426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Thanks for that, I think I'll try it tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-177375 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 10:18:47 +0000 looch 177375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to try the green smoothies! I only have an immersion blender at the moment, but I do love a smoothie, especially in the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-174607 Thu, 31 May 2012 13:07:09 +0000 LuLu Mom 174607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: good to know thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-174582 Thu, 31 May 2012 12:56:34 +0000 Mrs. Pen 174582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: oh good!! I hope you like it :) It's pretty easy and quick in the morning for me. I usually have all the stuff prepped - my mango/pineapple is cut and frozen in the freezer, then just add all the stuff. It's great. You can also make extra and store them covered in the fridge for up to three days. They make change color, appear a little darker than a crisp bright green, but they taste and quality will be the exact same :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-174577 Thu, 31 May 2012 12:53:48 +0000 LuLu Mom 174577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: I'm goign to give it a try and I'll report back (probably won't be until this weekend when I make it to the store for all the goods.) I believe my blender is an Oster as well so hopefully it will work well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-174554 Thu, 31 May 2012 12:46:24 +0000 Mrs. Pen 174554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bienlivingdesign: really? I have an immersion blender, but I keep thinking that the chunks of fruit/greens would get stuck in it. It actually blends well? I haven't tried it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-174553 Thu, 31 May 2012 12:45:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 174553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: nope! unless you have a blender that doesn't blend very well. In our old blender I'd get chunks of green leaves and that was kinda gross. I have an oster and it works great for me. I let it blend for about 30-60 seconds. It usually tastes more like fruit, sweet. You can always add some honey if you don't think it's sweet enough. Bananas REALLY sweeten it up. They are the best fruit, I've found, to hide the green taste. Frozen berries don't work nearly as well. You sometimes have to experiment to find your favorites too.</p> <p>Check out the book Green Smoothie Revolution - it's the book that got me started on them and they have some "beginner" recipes. It's a really great book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-174531 Thu, 31 May 2012 12:34:37 +0000 heffalump 174531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honey whole wheat bagel with pb&amp;j. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-174507 Thu, 31 May 2012 12:21:55 +0000 bienlivingdesign 174507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can't taste the green in green smoothies! It isn't necessarily quick though, unless everything is prepped in advance. Also, an immersion blender is much easier than a blender!</p> <p>Quick breakfasts for me usually involve 2 scrambled eggs on a piece of wheat toast. Yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-174443 Thu, 31 May 2012 11:49:21 +0000 lavender 174443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also frozen breakfast burritos are good in a pinch.<br /> Toasted whole wheat waffles w/peanut butter </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-174426 Thu, 31 May 2012 11:45:05 +0000 Alivoo01 174426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: nope! the smoothie takes on the flavor of the fruits you toss in it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-174425 Thu, 31 May 2012 11:44:48 +0000 HLK208 174425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make a faux mcmuffin with turkey bacon, low fat cheese, lettuce, a tiny bit of light mayo, tomato and of course egg white. I like the whole wheat sandwich thins instead of an English muffin. </p> <p>Also, I love green smoothies too--spinach, banana, seeded grapes (grape seeds are so good for you!), blackberries, strawberries, water and sometimes fat free yogurt is my usual. </p> <p>If I'm feeling lazy, then just a fiber one bar and a glass of milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-174404 Thu, 31 May 2012 11:35:07 +0000 WALLAROO 174404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to make a frittata on the weekend and fill it with lots of meat and veggies. Then I just pop it in the microwave in the mornings and reheat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-174402 Thu, 31 May 2012 11:33:50 +0000 LuLu Mom 174402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Do you taste the"green" in the smoothie? I don't know if I would like the spinach taste in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-174393 Thu, 31 May 2012 11:31:08 +0000 ninja 174393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: I'll actually make a few of them, then freeze the extras. About a minute in the microwave from frozen, and it's good to go :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-174385 Thu, 31 May 2012 11:25:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 174385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: I was going to say that!! so happy to see someone else loves them as much as I do!</p> <p>It's my breakfast EVERY morning, you get your protein, folic, vitamins etc- all the essentials to start your day right!!</p> <p>This is my go-to Green smoothie:<br /> 1/2 cup of unsweetened coconut milk<br /> 1/2 cup filtered water<br /> 1 cup of spinach, kale, chard, dandelion leaf or other dark leafy green<br /> 1/3 cup of frozen or fresh mango (or pineapple- I mix it up now and then)<br /> 1 banana<br /> 1 TBSP of chia seeds - they help keep you full for longer<br /> juice of half a lemon - helps your digestion and cleanse your insides :) It also helps give you stamina for the day</p> <p>This takes me less than ten minutes to make and I can easily drink it in the car.</p> <p>It's easy to change it up too, I also like peaches, strawberries and apples in my smoothies. Use a variety of greens and milks - you can use almond milk, cows milk, goats milk - or even eliminate the milk and just use water. Which is what I do if I don't have any on hand.</p> <p>I also usually have some Sprouted Wheat and Honey muffins from Trader Joes on hand for busy mornings - they are made with honey instead of sugar, so they're soo much better for you! Sprouted wheat is a better flour than traditional all-purpose. So they are a healthier option and I will stay full for a few hours! I usually eat it with a piece of fruit, like an apple. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-breakfast-ideas#post-174380 Thu, 31 May 2012 11:15:16 +0000 mamabolt 174380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a while I was making an egg casserole every weekend - 18 eggs, whatever veggies I had around the house sauteed and mixed with the eggs, baked until firm. All I had to do in the morning was cut a piece and heat it up, and the protein from the eggs made me feel super full. </p>
