Here are my top 10 favorite breakfast ideas since being on Weight Watchers:
1. Special K Red Berry Waffles- These are 3 points for 2 and I just love them with a piece of fruit and sugar free syrup. I finally found a sugar free syrup that I like!
2. Nutrigrain Waffles- I like the blueberry ones and they are also two for 3 points.
3. Quaker Oatmeal Weight Control Banana Bread Oatmeal- This yummy three point breakfast is so good. I add a chopped banana it adds two points but also gives me a fruit and veggie serving and really makes you full. I feel stuffed after one bowl! Check your points because different flavors can be different points.
4. Kashi Go Lean Cereal- I like this 3 point bowl of cereal! It really feels me up until lunch time.
5. Breakfast Sandwich:
Breakfast Sandwich (4.5 points)
1 Light English Muffin (1 point)
1 Morningstar "Sausage" Patty (2 points)
1/4 cup Southwestern Style Eggbeaters (.5 point) (Sometimes I do not add this)
1 Weight Watcher Single Cheese (1 point)
Toast the English muffin. While it's toasting, microwave the sausage patty for 1 minute in the microwave, and then microwave the Eggbeaters for 1 minute in a small bowl in the microwave. Once your English muffin is ready, assemble your sandwich and let the cheese melt for a few minutes.
Note: If you're home and have access to an oven, you can certainly scramble the Eggbeaters in a frying pan. The microwave is so fast and easy though!
6. Tropicana Lite Orange Juice- This has the weight watcher symbol and is 1 point per 1 cup serving. I really like it. this is not 100% juice so you can't count it as a fruit and vegetable serving, but I still like it.
7. Breakfast Pizzas:(Usually on weekends!)
Breakfast Pizzas
1 tube reduced-fat Pillsbury crescent rolls
1 cup fat-free cheddar cheese
1 cup Eggbeaters
1 cup frozen hash browns
salt and pepper to taste
Optional: Veggies of your choice (peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, etc.)
Bacon (adds extra points!)
Preheat oven to 400ยบ. Unroll the crescent rolls on a large baking sheet (no need to grease). Roll or press flat. Separate the dough (8 triangles) into 4 rectangles. Pinch each set of 2 triangles together to form a rectangle. Pinch edges up to form crust. You will end up with four little rectangular crusts. Cover each pizza with 1/4 cup hash browns. (At this stage you would also add any additional ingredients, such as veggies or bacon.) Next, pour 1/4 cup Eggbeaters carefully over each pizza. Then, cover each pizza with 1/4 cup cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.Bake at 400 degrees for 13-15 minutes.
Yields: 4 breakfast pizzas (6.5 points each)
Another option is to make 8 smaller pizzas (3 points each) and serve as a side-dish with pancakes or waffles. You can either separate the dough into 8 small rectangles, or else press the dough into 1 large circle, prepare like a normal pizza, and then cut into 8 slices.
Nutritional Info: 297.5 calories, 9 g. fat, .75 g. fiber (6.5 points each)
8. Weight Watcher Yogurt- I love the Boston Cream Pie and Amaretto Cheesecake and for only 1 point! I also always eat this with a fruit.
9. Apple Pie Oatmeal-Taste just like Apple Pie!!!
Apple Pie Oatmeal
1 package of light cinnamon flavored oatmeal like Quaker Oatmeal Weight Control Cinnamon
Dash of extra cinnamon to taste
1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a single serve container
Pour the package contents in a small bowl with a dash of extra cinnamon and add about 1/2 cup of boiling water. Stir and let sit a minute. Stir in the applesauce and sprinkle with a bit more cinnamon.
Makes 1 serving
200 calories, 3g fat, 9g fiber (3 WW points)
10. Breakfast Lean Pockets- I always eat this with a fruit and they have sausage, ham, and bacon ones. They taste good and are 3 points. I really have to eat something else with this because it is small and not real filling, but it is yummy!
What is your favorite breakfast?

Wow, some of those I couldn't believe were breakfast foods, they sound so good!
My favorite, not healthiest, breakfast food is strawberry crepes with whip cream. Mmmmmm. :D
Lorie, my favorite breakfast is 1/3 c Bob's Red Mill 5 Grain Cereal cooked 6 minutes in microwave with 1 c water & 1/4 c bran. Once it's done cooking, add in 1/2 cup blueberries (which are full of antioxidants), 1 tsp flax oil, 2 tsp splenda brown sugar, and enjoy! You kill a bunch of Good Health Guideline birds with one stone here. It's a source of super healthy grains, fruit, and oil. :)
I love the Berry Waffles and the Kashi cereal as well! Delicious!! I'll have to make your breakfast pizzas. They sound yummy!! I also eat the WW chocolate Muffins (3 points) when I'm in a hurry (you can buy them pretty much at any grocery store). I also, though I shouldn't be admitting this, will eat Mrs. Freshley's Snack Away Chocolate Cupcakes. They are delicious and only 2 points and have lots of fiber (9 grams) to keep me full for a long time, delicious. They are also a great treat during the day or for something sweet after dinner :)
If I'm super hungry at breakfast I'll eat a bowl of strawberry mini-wheats. Otherwise my normal b'fast is 1 cup of rice krispie cereal w/ strawberries. Hmm, I guess I like strawberries! :)
On Saturdays as I head out the door early to find some yard sale bargains I'll eat a quick banana muffin.
I'm thinking I will need to try some of your b'fast options though. They are much more exciting than a bowl of cereal.
