1) Chocolate-Blueberry Shake. Blend together 1 packet chocolate breakfast powder (like Carnation Breakfast Essentials), 1 1/2 cups milk of choice, and 1 cup frozen blueberries. Optional : Add a scoop of protein powder for improved muscle recovery.

2) Eggs In A Muffin Heat a pan with a spritz of cooking spray over medium heat. Season 1 egg with salt and pepper, scramble, and cook to desired consistency (no more than five minutes). Top egg with 1 slice cheddar cheese and allow cheese to melt. Pile egg and cheese on 1 toasted whole-wheat English muffin and add 1 slice cooked Canadian bacon. (Use half of muffin and eat it open-faced to save a few calories!)

3) Breakfast Taco In a pan spritzed with cooking spray over medium-high heat, scramble 3 egg whites, a small handful of spinach leaves, and 1 tbsp. drained rinsed black beans. Season with salt and pepper. Wrap mixture in an 8-inch whole-wheat tortilla and top with 1 tbsp. salsa.

4) Oatmeal In An Instant Skip pre-made packets in favor of this homemade version. Combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 cup milk or water, and a pinch of salt, and microwave for 3 minutes. Stir in toppings of choice, like 1 tsp. maple syrup, 2 tbsp. sliced almonds, or 1/4 cup dried fruit.

5) Mini Wrap Top an 8-inch whole-wheat tortilla with 2 slices of Canadian bacon, 1/2 slices apple, and 2 to 3 slices cheddar cheese. Roll up and microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until cheese is melted.

6) Vegan Breakfast Scramble In a frying pan over medium-high heat, combine 1/2 cup tofu (crumbled), a handful of spinach, 1/4 cup chopped red peppers, 1/8 cup chopped onion, 1/8 cup chopped vegetarian bacon, and a few dashes of paprika. Sauté until veggies are cooked and tofu is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
