Breakfast. It really is the most important meal and I think the most challenging. Where do you find the time to fix a good breakfast? Do you have time to eat it? And what do you eat?
Since I find I need protein in the morning and I don't want to eat eggs every day, I searched the web for some new ideas. I found a great suggestion that answers all my needs -- protein, easy to fix, quick and yummy.
Get a loaf of bread and build sandwiches (just the meat and cheese) for the week. Put all the sandwiches back in the bag. Then each morning pull a sandwich out, add veggies, and grill it on a George Foreman grill. You can take it with you or spend a few minutes enjoying it at home. It takes less than 5 minutes to cook and the sandwich comes out hot and ready to go.
So far I've tried provolone cheese & ham on whole wheat, and roast beef & soy cheddar cheese with sprouts and tomatoes. I give the sandwich a light spray of oil before it goes in the George, but I'm going to try it completely dry next time. And I'm going to be experimenting with different vegetables and different breads such as flat breads and tortillas.
Some other ideas for getting protein in the morning include yogurt, cottage cheese, turkey bacon & sausage, protein powder in your oatmeal, eggs in various forms, of course, and you can always have what you had for dinner.
What will you have for breakfast next week?
