You can use regular or whole-wheat tortillas, scrambled eggs (either whole, all whites,抮a mix, or an egg product), some veggies like peppers and onions, and soy sausage. These freezebeautifully. Pull one out, and while you e pouring your coffee, it can be heating in themicrowave. Add a banana or apple for on-the-go dining.抯* Cereal is a fine breakfast, as long as it not the only thing you eat. Consider adding somebanana or blueberries on top, or fixing it with soy milk for a healthy dairy addition. Otherwise,stick to skim milk.抰* If you don like breakfast, consider making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on wheat抯bread. Grab a banana on the way out the door. Have some leftover vegetarian pizza from dinner?That a fine breakfast, though you will want to add a glass of milk or some fruit to round itout.* Trying to lose weight?
