  • Ideas for healthy breakfasts at work
  • prezet
    Free Member

    I commute to work every day, and can’t seem to stomach food before I leave the house. I just have a coffee and go. So I’m after some ideas for healthy breakfasts I can have when I get to work. We don’t have a huge amount of facilities and the canteen is always full of fried foods…

    So far I’m getting by on wholemeal bagels with peanut butter and bananas – but need some other ideas.

    You can chomp through them through the course of the morning. Like I’m doing at the moment 😀

    I work in Newcastle so I’m never more than 7 metres from a Greggs. They’re much like rats.

    On a more serious note, Bircher Muesli?

    You’ve access to fried food and you’re asking for alternatives?

    Freak!

    Fried food is partly the reason for my current mid-life midriff.

    I’m a big fan of scrambled eggs in the microwave, with smoked salmon if I’m flush or just toast if it’s getting later in the month.

    I pre-boil eggs for the week, leaving them in their shells in the fridge Just peel one and down the hatch. Less smelly than doing scrambled eggs in the microwave.

    Also avocados are a good one for me – last for ages just sat on your desk.

    Porridge with added berries / nuts
    brown toast with mashed avacado on top, ideally with some tabasco or lime juice topped off with an egg
    Boil eggs at home, take them with you.
    Some sort of muesli

    Well you wouldn’t want to eat the vile things would you? 😀

    Toast with Jam and a Yoghurt for me. Though I have it at home, all reasonably portable. Depends if you have a problem with fridge scavengers I suppose.

    It’s wort looking at the ingredients in Oat So Simple – it’s not just oats.
    We have a couple of 800w microwaves at work, and all the milk you can drink, so I take in 50gm porrage oats in a small container, put in double the volume of milk, nuke it for 2x 90 seconds and add whatever’s in the office fruit basket.
    Lots of people here do scrambled egg in the microwave – it leaves eggy residue on all the bowls. 🙁
    Avocado on toast with a wee bit of black pepper seems to be fashionable at the mo, too.

    My current favourite is MOMA instant porridge sachets from Waitrose, Then using a snaffled cup from the Costa machine, a disposable spoon and a Jar of St Dalfour jam in the fridge and I’m away with a ‘zero added sugar’ breakfast with no washing up. :))

    Porridge oats and skimmed milk, 2 mins in microwave.

    This, but with a small spoon of peanut butter and a shake of cinnamon in a tub, use work milk and microwave, easy everyday breakfast for me at the moment. Sit with the laptop in the kitchen eating it as I start my day.

    Why skimmed milk ?

    Bagel with microwaved egg.

    Microwave anything if you’ve pre cooked it is fairly acceptable.

    In my book anything eaten after excercise is healthy.

    Because I’m a fatty!

    Snickers* and a pint of milk saw me through ten years. I’m still here.

    They were called ‘Marathon’ back then, sounds healthier in a sporty way.

    I’m amazed the milk lasted that long.

    Try overnight oats instead of porridge. Saves cooking at work and keeps me out the canteen

    Porridge oats and hot water into a thermos before you set off, by the time you get there it’ll be cooked.
