Good Morning! My name is Angie and I blog over at Successful Together. I am SO excited to be here with you today!! Annette is a super lady, whom I had the pleasure of meeting through our Saturday morning WW meeting in Seneca. When she asked me to do a guest post featuring Grab and Go Breakfasts, I was THRILLED!
There are a few different levels of Grab and Go breakfasts. You can start with the true grab and go's that require little to no prep, Fresh Fruits. If nothing else, these can hold you over til you can get somewhere to have a more staying breakfast. Most of the recipes and items I will feature below should be ready in under 3 minutes, or can be prepped ahead to make it even easier to get in a good meal to get your day started on the right foot (or left, if thats the direction you so choose!)
PS Pardon the wonky-ness of some of the text not matching. Just roll with it!
Breakfast Smoothies
Smoothies are super refreshing and easy to make. Most can be prepped ahead so all you have to do it throw the ingredients in the blend, mix up and go. When I first started making smoothies, they were HUGE. SO large they would keep me full til lunch. I have slowly learned how to downsize them and keep them enjoyable.
1 small apple, cored and diced
1 small banana, sliced and frozen
3 stalks of kale (but just the leafy parts!)
1/2 cup milk, slightly frozen
Yellow Morning Sunshine Smoothie

Sometimes it is nice to have go to quick and easy dishes that are easy to transport. These are some of my favorites!
Turkey Egg and Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients:
2 Slices light wheat bread
1 egg
1 slice cheese
1 serving turkey deli meat ( I used Oscar Mayer)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Preparation:
Put your bread in the toaster.
Spray a small (1-2 cup size) microwave safe container
with pan spray. Beat egg in container, add salt and pepper.
Microwave on high for about 1 minute. CONTAINER WILL BE
HOT! =) Be careful when removing from the microwave.
While toast is finishing, put the deli meat in the microwave
for about 30 seconds. I normally will put it on a saucer
plate in about the size and shape of the bread.
Once your toast is done, put the meat on the bread,
top with cheese, and then turn the scrambled egg
out on top of the cheese. Serve and Enjoy!
About 7 Points+ depending on your ingredients!
