Even if you're rushed in the morning, there's still enough time to fuel up in a healthy way.
10 quick and healthy low-calorie mini-meals -- ones you can eat at home, at the office or even in the car -- so you have no more excuses for skipping the most important meal of the day.
1. Get Out of a Rut: Swap your regular breakfast of coffee with cream and sugar and a buttered roll for a large skim or low-fat latte and a small whole-grain roll without butter plus a banana.
2. Make It Portable: If you love cold cereal but don't have time to sit down to eat it, you'll love this idea: Find a big mug that's tall and deep, then fill it with a serving of high-fiber cereal topped by fruit such as dried cranberries, raisins or blueberries or a tablespoon of crunchy flaxseeds or minced nuts. Add fat-free milk or calcium-fortified soy milk and you're ready to go.
3. Get Big Taste from Your Freezer: Buy frozen pancakes, French toast or waffles the next time you're at the market. Simply heat one serving and top with a 4-ounce cup of applesauce or fruit blend and 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts.
4. Put a New Spin on an Old Favorite: Instead of topping your English muffin with butter and jam, add a tomato slice and a slice of your favorite reduced-fat cheese to each half. Broil until the cheese is melted.
5. Have a Snacky Breakfast: Hate eating breakfast? Have a nutritious snack instead. Microwave a 12-ounce mug of low-fat chocolate milk and chow down a small bowl of grapes or berries.
6. Warm Your Tummy: Hot cereal is a great comfort food, plus it fills you up. Mix 1/2 cup of Post Grape-Nuts with 1/3 cup of low-fat or fat-free milk and 1 teaspoon of honey in a bowl and heat in the microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds.
7. Make It Snappy! When you're running late, the microwave can be your friend. A whole-wheat tortilla filled with tofu, tomatoes, onions and beans -- for about two minutes and enjoy with a small container of calcium-fortified vegetable juice.
8. Get Crazy for Crackers: With a little imagination, crackers can make a great morning meal. Top a serving of low-fat Triscuit crackers with 1 ounce of part-skim mozzarella and some grape tomatoes.
9. Eat Leftovers: Consider feasting on foods that aren't typically associated with breakfast. Try a bowl of soup or some of last night's chicken or tuna stuffed into a small whole-wheat pita.
10. Drink Up: When you haven't got time to dawdle, a fruit smoothie is a quick and satisfying breakfast option. Combine in a blender 3/4 cup fat-free plain yogurt, 1 cup of fresh berries, 1 teaspoon honey and 4 ice cubes. Pour the mixture into a thermos and you're ready to roll.
Good luck!
Enjoy!..._;-)

When we would have early meetings at work I would bring this sometimes. You don't have to follow the recipe exactly. I have made it with different veggies and meat in it and even without the bread. You can buy precooked bacon or sausage to cut down on the prep time. Hope this helps.

Scrambled eggs on toast. Add grilled tomatoes to the side of that, mmm. Maybe even bacon, doesn't take that long. Porridge is good, especially in the winter, adding some chopped fruit makes it more filling too. Adding honey to warm porridge just makes it sweeter to enjoy. If you've got a blender then try mixing smoothies. Fruits of your choice, one of my favourites is banana, strawberry, mango blended with some apple juice and a blob of yogurt, for extra depth, frozen yogurt will work too. Sometimes it might not be sweet enough, so I add honey to sweeten it. You might want something with your smoothie, you could have a toasted waffle. I've listed these things, and now I'm wondering why I don't eat breakfast daily, they are so easy, and on a day when you can't be bothered to prepare anything, a bowl of cereal will do.

I LIKE TO MAKE LIKE A BREAKFAST QUICHE, BUT NO CRUST. JUST PUT BEATEN EGGS AND YOUR FAVORITE VEGGIES AND CHEESE IN A NONSTICK PAN THAT CAN GO IN THE OVEN, (OR EVEN A PIE PAN) AND BAKE FOR 30-45 MINUTES.
