Happy Wednesday!
For today’s WIAW post, I thought I’d share some of the breakfasts that I’ve been making over the past couple of weeks to bring in to work with me. I get up early to head to the gym, come home and shower, get ready and by then I really just don’t have time to sit down and eat. I’ve found that bringing my breakfast to work makes things a lot easier and a few other people on my floor do the same!
If you’re new to What I Ate Wednesday, head on over to Peas and Crayons to see what it’s all about, as well as the other participating bloggers!
The first two are things that I actually eat at home. When I do strength training (or if I’m just extra hungry, like yesterday) then I’ll make something quick with protein and carbs to eat right when I get home from the gym.
I was out of protein powder for a while (great for smoothies) so I came up with this quick concotion. I slice up a banana, put the slices down on my small pan, and then pour in some egg whites (about 1/3 cup maybe?). Then I’ll flip it like a pancake once it’s cooked a bit and voila!

So good! I also make green smoothies when I have the chance. I’ll blend a handful of spinach, about a half cup almond milk, a scoop of Sunwarrior Protein powder and half a banana.
I’ve really been mixing things up for breakfast. For several weeks I brought overnight oats and, while delicious, I wanted to go out of the box.
First up, I tried Robyn’s Pumpkin Breakfast Bake, topped with almond and coconut butter. This was AMAZING. And it smelled so good! I’d bake it the night before, re-heat it in the microwave and then add the butters on top. By far one of my favorites!
The next thing I made was… Whole Foods! Haha. Just threw this one in there – last Friday morning I really needed to run to Whole Foods before leaving for the weekend so I cut my morning time short and went before work. Since I didn’t have time to put together breakfast, I grabbed some eggs, bacon, potatoes and fruit from their breakfast bar!
My most recent breakfast of choice (Because it’s so quick for me to make) has been oatmeal! I’ll make it that morning while I’m rushing around getting ready and then reheat at the office and top with almond and coconut butter.
In the oats: 1/3 cup oatmeal, 1/2 T ground flax, almond milk and water, vanilla, stevia, cinnamon, and either 1 whole egg or 3 egg whites.
And finally, this is the breakfast I’ll throw together if I’m in a real rush. I microwave the sweet potatoe (for about 4.5-5 minutes, wrapped in a wet paper towel) and then top with two scrambled eggs cooked in coconut oil, and some ketchup and pepper.
And there you have it!
What is your go-to breakfast?
Do you have to pack any food for the day?
