    This morning I had some eggs and watermelon with a few craisins. It was AWESOME! I eat in a college cafeteria or grab a granola bar and apple every morning, so I struggle to find healthy choices within the food provided. But it lead me to eat healthier at lunch today!

    I eat breakfast within 30 minutes of waking up, with Protein, Complex Carbs and a piece of fruit.

    day 4- not to worry I have been eating healthy breakfast between these three months wear i have not loaded my progress! (more shame:)) as for today, I ate Kashi go lean crisp! which is great for a vegetarian like me because it has as much protein as an egg!! with a glass of pomegranate and blueberry juice (wonderful because of the omega 3’s and antioxadants!! ,and a tiny tiny bit of a blueberry smoothie made with milk, yogurt ,and blueberries!!

    day 2- once again kashi heart to heart blueberry clusters cereal. but that was mostly because the fact I had to run and get to a Girl scout thing. we were selling tie dye pillow cases at the plymouth farmers market. in the cold wind! although to regenerate myself when I arrived back home I ate one bowl of organic salad! not the icberg, this kind had dandilion leaves, and spinach leaves and all sorts! i also sprinkled it with sunflower seed mix and a tbs of creamy french dressing – (i know i know WAY to fatning but I just could not resest besides it was only a tbs!)-

    I eat Kashi Heart to Heart oatmeal for breakfast with a 1/4 cup of walnuts and a cup of Earl Gray decaf tea. I used to alternate between the Raisin Spice and Apple Cinnamon, but haven’t been able to find Raisin Spice for over six months. Has Kashi disconnected that item?

    today was 8oz carrot juice, a banana and a tofu scramble wrap. Yummy! I’m going on a 3 hour hike today and need energy which explains the big breakfast. Usually a slim fast drink and a bananna.

    I am not a breakfast eater but that is going to change. I started today with Go Lean vanilla oatmeal. Pleasantly surprised by the taste and texture.

    I am planning my breakfast already.. I am still having my usual cup of coffee, but opted for silk soy French vanilla coffee creamer instead. I am making a 4 ounce yogurt parfait with kashi go lean crunch cereal, organic strawberries, and lowfat plain yogurt. I am also having 1 Kashi whole grain waffle topped with 1/4 cup mixture of bananas and strawberries.

    I start everyday with breakfast. I usually have an eggbeater omlet with low fat cheese and either canadian bacon or turkey bacon. Some days I throw a handful of veggies into the omlet (peppers, oniions, mushrooms, spinach, etc) either leftovers from dinner or whatever is in the fridge. I usually follow that with either a yogurt or banana.

    i LOVE breakfast! my favorites are brown sugar oatmeal with a banana cut up in it, honey bunches of oats with almonds, or peanut butter toast. i’m just getting into the whole kashi thing..i’ve had their bars before, and i’ve been getting their tlc crackers (those are even better than wheat thins!) and now i want to get the kashi go lean…it looks sooo good to me. i work at stop and shop so i’m always seeing all their good looking food. can’t wait to get some tomorrow!!=)

    i usually switch it up between two kashi go lean waffles “blueberry” and two veggie sausage links on one day or a bowl of kashi go lean cereal with regular milk on other mornings. just enough to carry me over to mid morning snack.

    I eat Kashi cereals w/soy milk for breakfast every morning. Love it and I’ve been losing weight, no hunger pangs before lunch, plus the biggest benefit has been my lowered cholesterol numbers. My dr. was impressed when I told him my “secret”. I tell everyone I know.

    i recently stopped eating a fast food breakfast plan, but after i did that, i started eating the kashi goLean cereal, and i feel like a lot better, not only in the sense that its a lot healthier, but the fact that the diet im on gives good results with weight lifting because of the high amounts of protein, and carbohydrates, its a good facilitator for muscle building… but you i have to eat enough of it for a substansial effect.

    I never eat breakfast, they say its the Key to being healthy, so i was shopping at a local grocery store and i purchased the GoLean Kashi shake mix, had one of those for breakfast. My sister in law has lost 10 lbs with drinking these in the morning… yippy!

    Im obsessed with the Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal. I eat it every morning with berries or a banana or a fresh peach cut up in it, then later its the perfect crunchy snack, it fills me up and satisfies, not like special k.

    I ate a piece of whole grain toast with smart balance peanut butter. This is the first time I’ve had the smart balance peanut butter. Taste like real peanuts and doesn’t have all the bad sugars of other peanut butter.

    It’s 9:14pm, ao I’m not going to eat breakfast now and I dont’ have any milk in the house… will have to get that tomorrow. I’m almost out of the Kaishi Strawberry Fields cereal… super yummy. I was afraid that it would tast like cardboard, but I was oh so wrong!

    Summertime is a great time to introduce fruit smoothies into your breakfast routine. Round out the meal with almond or peanut butter atop sprouted whole grain bread. Yum! Can’t wait for tomorrow morning :)

    Last night i tried the “high protein & high fiber” cereal. I didn’t think i was going to enjoy it but it was actually pretty good. It only has one gram of fat which makes it even better to enjoy!

    not bad in the beginning but that after taste …

    Well I just started this today and I already ate breakfast (before I started) and had failed by eating McDonalds. I usually don’t do that but was in a rush this morning and didn’t feel like eating the same old healthy stuff. I plan on getting these next four days right.
