Ahhh the question of the week. I almost forgot!!
While making eggs with the toddler this morning, it hit me. Hmmm I wonder what everyone else is having for breakfast these days. I tend to reach for the same handful of options over and over again and it’s getting boring.
So…. What do you eat for breakfast?
I’m hoping to get a good list going!
Ok, I’m going crazy! I asked this question a few months back! LOL

What's Cooking in my kitchen?
-
Finally my first Farro idea! I have to say, I love this stuff! It's chewy and yummy and, well, fun! I tossed it with what I could find in my pantry and it made a wonderfully satisfying lunch. Filling but not heavy, tasty and quite nutrient dense. According to NutritionData.com this [...] -
I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...] -
I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...]

I typically have plain oatmeal topped with my Berry topping:
1 pkg. frozen mixed berries
1/4 C sugar
2 T cornstarch
2 T water
Bring sugar & fruit to a simmer, stir in cornstarch thinned in water. 4- 1/2 C servings (2 WWPS)
I like to keep this topping cold and serve it on the hot oats – quicker cool down. 4.5 WWPs total.
I also love 1C Cheerios with 1/2 C 1% milk and a banana sliced into it.
I am a HUGE fan of the Western Bagel. Low points for a nice sized bagel. I love the onion with low fat chive cream cheese. It has more than 5 grams of fiber ( making it 1 point..well two with the cream cheese!)so it keeps me full.
Only problem is they can be difficult to find. Publix carries them but you have to look for them.
I think their website has a retail locater.

I have found some double fiber english muffins or alterna bagels that are only 1 pt. for the whole thing. I toast and top with ww cream cheese and strawberries. Yum! And sometimes I will have with a side of Jimmy Dean already cooked turkey sausage. This is super fast and easy.
I start with a bowl of Kashi Heart to Heart, but if I have a hard workout I eat breakfast #2 afterwards–low-fat cottage cheese and/or a piece of fruit. On the weekends I get a little crazy and have a light (high-fiber) multi-grain English muffin with an egg and bacon on top.
A big bowl of cut up fruit. Thats all. Quite filling – perfect energy.
My favorites:
Strawberries
Cantaloupe
Banana
Blackberries
Blueberries
Mango
(in other words, anything I can buy cheaply or in bulk at Costco and use up during the work week)
—and if I didn’t have time to cut up fruit the night before, I guess its a fiber one bar – preferably peanut butter.
1 pack of Quaker Weight Control Maple & Brown Sugar Oatmeal (3 pts) or 50% less sugar oatmeal (2 pts)
3 pcs Turkey Bacon ( 3pts)
1/2 Grapefruit (1pt)
Water & Multi-Vitamin
WOW! I guess i’ll try every recipie here for my breakfast! Now about what I have… I have an omlet and then apple and then I have a smoothie mixed with purple. I mix purple as it gives the yummiest taste ever and it is sugar free except for the sugar from the fruits and it has 7 fruit juices in it, it is the best and the strongest antioxidant punch ever. All this makes me feel full and fit. In case you want to find out more about this purple you can check http://www.drinkpurple.com. Why don’t you people try it and let me know and yes if you people see Oprah you must have seen it there in one of her episodes.
Wow! Everything sounds so good!!
I have a couple go-to breakfasts. My new-found favorite is the Jimmy Dean’s D-Lights turkey saus, egg white and cheese muffin. They are SO good and they are only 5 points.
Another breakfast I have is Special K Protein Plus with fresh berries. 3/4 c of cereal is 100 calories, 3g fat, 5 fiber. This is another goody that will keep you full.
Enjoy!
I love breakfast food, and have it for dinner as well pretty frequently. A few of my favorite combinations: High fiber cereal (Kashi Heart to Heart, oat bran flakes, Weetaibx crispy flakes and fiber, etc) with banana and skim milk or yogurt. Oatmeal or 10 grain cereal made with cow/ soy/ hemp milk, usually cooked with banana, lots of cinnamon, vanilla and flax seed. Or, high fiber pancakes with some combination of fruit preserves, plain yogurt, but butter and maple syrup. Yum. I really love breakfast :)
Hi normally for breakfast I kind of get stuck in a rut as well I have the few same breakfasts
Fiber one honey clusters cereal yum and you get a ton of fiber
Weight control oatmeal (never liked oatmeal, but I do now) Put your 2 teaspons of olive oil the texture is great and I don’t have to think about it the rest of the day! I like the cinnamon and the brown sugqar and maple very filling!
And a spinach and mozzarella cheese omlette I use the egg beaters chop the spinach finely and put cheese and onions as well in there yummy yummy
And last but not least I have cherrios with bannanas and milk.
Those I switch between not really doing much else
I guess we all are creatures of habit!!
Plain oatmeal with a little fiber one mixed in. Then I add some pumpkin, light vanilla soymilk, cinnamon and stevia. It’s a scaled down version of HG’s recipe(no redi whip or maple syrup).
Eggbeaters with salsa and spinach, stuffed in an oat bran pita with laughing cow swiss. Mmmmmmmmm
Quickie mcmuffin on light wheat english muffin with eggbeaters, lc swiss and a slice of lf ham.
Smoothie with light vanilla soymilk, pb2, banana, ff vanilla yogurt
Multigrain or Special K waffle with Smuckers Low Sugar strawberry preserves and pb2.
Whole wheat applesauce pancakes ir Gingerbread Pumpkin pancakes (Southhaven Farms mixes are great). I like to put a dollop of ff vanilla yogurt on top.
I love love LOVE my Quaker Weight Control Oatmeal (maple brown sugar flav) – I feel really off if I don’t have it. It keeps me full for a long time!
I do WANT to be a little more varied…but, I find myself craving this every morning.

1 point wrap with peanut butter & a banana Total = 5 Points
i have a few things i like to eat throughout the week…
i love Fiber One Crunch and i eat it with 1c skim milk. i also usually add a banana or pear with that.
also….2 lite waffles with lite syrup
…1 egg and 1 egg white with basil and ff cheddar cheese topped with ketchup on a lite wheat english muffin.
…ww muffin and banana
…yogurt with homemade 2pt granola
I find that breakfast can be the hardest to be creative with, but I have a few goodies that satisfy my fast food cravings!
…toasted english muffin, 2 turkey sausage patties, 1/2 slice lowfat cheese.
…toasted english muffin or 2 sl lite bread, 2 egg whites (over hard), 1 Tbsp lite cream cheese, baby spinach leaves (cooked with the egg whites and drizzle of olive oil)
…PB & J on 2 lite waffles
…Egg white omelette w ham & asparagus or other veggies (low-fat frittata), 2 sl lite toast w 1 Tbsp jam
…mini fruit salad, (lowfat cottage cheese, fruit to your liking, yogurt, etc…)
Love 1/4 cup pumpkin in steel cut oats with pumpkin pie spice, I throw in applesauce and or yogurt as well, just discovered Chia seeds to round it out. 1T has 20 calories and 2.5 grams fiber, and high omega threes and an interesting texture – expands in liquid.
These are all great ideas!
I usually have 3 hard boiled egg whites and plain oatmeal with 1/2 cup blueberries for 3.5 pts total. Sometimes I have a banana instead of the berries making it 4 pts total. I try to space out when I eat all this so I am full all morning-usually the eggs between 8 and 9 and the oatmeal at 10. That has helped me a lot. For dinner, and sometimes for breakfast, I have 1/2 cup Fiber One, 1/2 cup Kashi Go Lean, 1/2 cup blueberries and 1 cup skim milk for a 4 pt meal that is REALLY filling.
That sounds delicious!
I like eating spinach salad with 2 hard boiled eggs and a tropical fruit shake with coconut oil before running. This gives me energy for the day.
What I call a “tri-egg scramble” made with 1 part egg beaters, 1 part egg white, and 1 part whole egg; 3 slices Oscar Mayer Naturally Smoked Center Cut bacon; bell peppers; and 1 tsp olive oil. It’s two servings and my fiance eats the other half. I usually stick my half in a 1-point, whole wheat bread product like pita bread, a tortilla, or a sandwich thin. Sometimes I’ll add a small amount of low-fat or fat-free cheese. Including the bread and cheese, it clocks in at 5 points. :)
And when the boy can’t make it over here in the morning to make breakfast, I’ll usually have a bowl of fiber one with 1% organic milk or soy milk, or have breakfast sandwiches (turkey breakfast sausage patty, 1-point english muffin, 1/4 cup egg beaters, and RF cheddar–5 pts) already prepared in the freezer for easy nuking.
My Everyday Breakfast:
- Pureed or Cubed Pumpkin &/or Butternut Squash (mostly pumpkin) sprinkled with cinnamon, stevia &/or pumpkin pie spice
- One poached egg (or over easy – cause I love a runny yolk)…
MmMm Good! Cannot wait for breakfast!
