I need a healthy breakfast that I can just grab and go..?

Question

I'm thinking about making a big tray of a fruit, yougurt, and granola parfait..seperating it in small plastic containers and grabbing them on my way to work. (I heard it's healthier homeade then buying one at McDonalds) Do you think this is healthy? And if so..do you have an recipie ideas? Please let me know. Thanks for your support!

Answer 1

Make this the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight.

Non-fat plain yogurt.
Add a little Splenda to take the sourness out of the yogurt.
Add some raw unsalted cashew nuts, and some dried unsweetened apricots.
Sprinkle in some porridge oats (oatmeal), use this to make the mixture as thick or as runny as you like.

Overnight the dried apricots take on moisture from the yogurt and rehydrate themselves, and the oats moisten up too.
It's a great breakfast on the go, very filling and good for you too.
Use enough oats and in the morning the mix will have the thick consistency of cake mix before it goes in the oven, that's the thickness I aim for personally.

Answer 2

It's a very good idea. The only drawback is that fruit, once cut, turns brown quickly. You should consider making an assortment of muffins to grab quickly. You can find good lowfat recipes. My mom has a recipe called pecan pie muffins, and they're amazing.

Answer 3

that sounds real good. i used to think about doing that, making the fruit and yogurt thingy...but i found it hard to find the granola in bulk, so i gave up on the idea. i love the ones from McDonald's though. give it a try...you now have me wanting to do that again.

Answer 4

i eat a special k-bar when i eat breakfast....
but ya that sounds good make a fruit sald bowl and cut them in bit size this way you can pop them in you mouth on the way to work or what ever...there's also the breakfast drinks you make like chocalte milk but it has everthing like a heathy breakfast...my mom drinks them...smothies to. but it never hurts to go to mcdonald every once in a while and grab some thing quick, there hazelnut and french vanilla iced coffes are really good

Answer 5

That sounds yummy. I have thought about doing that myself. I havent been sure where to find crumbled granola though? I guess you can crush up bars.

You could spread peanutbutter or cream cheese on rice cakes.

Answer 6

SMOOTHIES there great tasting, low in fat, quick and you can take them in the car or on the bus?! They fill you up right till lunch.. My personal favourite is strawberry, banana and mango!

Answer 7

fruit--apples. bananas give carbohydrate and vitamins
Hard boiled eggs--protein-can be boiled evening before-inshells or removed
Whole meal bread

All easy to handle and not messy

Answer 8

a banana

Answer 9

good idea!
