First off I'd like to thank Spain for their amazing cheese, except I doubt 'spanish cheese' has anything to do with Spain, let alone its surrounding countries. If you don't have spanish cheese in your fridge, buy it now. I've recently discovered that it tastes good with pretty much everything and so you're going to see it a lot in my cooking (even though I'm lactose intolerant). So, apparently I have bad cholesterol... it's in my genes and there's nothing I can do about it, besides watch what I eat. Hence the occasional removal of yolks in my omelets. But then I throw a bunch of cheese on there so what the heck is the point, right? Okay, now for the good stuff... 

What you'll need:

• 4 egg whites
• 5 spears of asparagus, chopped in half
• 2 scallions, diced
• 1 oz spanish cheese, finely shredded
• salt to taste

What to do:
Put the spears of asparagus in a sprayed-pan and let cook until they soften. If you lift one up, it should still be able to maintain it's shape (don't over cook them to the point that they frown). Add the scallions, and cook for another minute. Add the egg whites making sure that they get around all of the asparagus. Cook until the eggs are done. Top off with the cheese while the omelette is still hot and dive right in. 

Oatmeal is my favorite breakfast food.. I like to get creative so that it's not the same old boring bowl of oats. This beauty is around 200 calories. 

What you'll need: 

• 1/2 cup of oats
  
• 1 cup of water
  
• 3 blackberries, sliced
  
• 2 strawberries, diced
  
• 2 tbsp coconut milk creamer
• a pinch of 'Kind' cinnamon granola
  

What to do: 
By now you should be a pro with oats! Mix them with the water and coconut milk, pop in the microwave, top with the berries, and sprinkle on some cinnamon granola clusters. 

If this doesn't look appetizing, I don't know what does! Entire wrap is about 250 calories and I used left over grilled chicken from last night. Don't be reluctant to eating chicken for breakfast.. my husband does it all the time -_- 

What you'll need:

• 1  Tumaro's 60-calorie wrap
• 1 whole egg
• 1 egg white
• 2 oz grilled chicken 
• 1/4 cup reduced-fat feta 
• salt & pepper to taste

What to do: 
Make the eggs as you would an omelette. Once they're done, slide it onto a wrap, fill with grilled chicken, top with feta, wrap it up, and pop it onto a panini maker to toast!

Dive into this strawberry-banana heaven... It'll only cost you around 200 calories. Yum!

What you'll need:

• 1/3 cup of oats
  
• 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk
  
• 1 mini banana, sliced
  
• 4 strawberries, diced
  

What to do:
Is this really necessary? I guess it is if you've never made oatmeal... Mix the oats with the almond milk and microwave until it has a thick consistency.  Decorate a pretty glass with the strawberries and banana slices. 

Caffeine-infused oatmeal. Now you can have your breakfast and coffee in under 200 calories. Oh my deliciousness.  

What you'll need:
1/2 cup instant quaker oats
1/3 cup mocha coffee, brewed
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/3 cup blackberries
a pinch of Kind cinnamon granola
a pinch of toasted coconut 

What to do:
mix together the coffee, milk, and oats. Pop it in the microwave for a few minutes. Top with fresh blackberries, granola, and coconut. Enjoy. 

Delicious eggs & hash browns without the saturated oil, fried butter, & icky white starchy potatoes. 

What you'll need:
1/2 sweet potato, grated
1 whole egg
5 egg whites 
1 tsp 7-spices
salt, to taste

What to do:
Mix in the 7-spices with the sweet potatoes and spread it out onto a sprayed baking pan, making a thin layer. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Broil for 2 minutes. While the potatoes are baking, whisk together the eggs and salt. Spray a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray and evenly separate the eggs into 6 different portions. When the potatoes are done (they should feel semi crispy), separate them evenly on top of the raw eggs and place in the oven until the eggs are cooked through. Top with a dollop of nonfat plain yogurt and chopped scallions.  

Healthy breakfast with protein and antioxidants, to help kickstart your lazy metabolism :)

What you'll need:
1 cup 'Dannon' nonfat plain yogurt
1/3 cup  'Kind' cinnamon cluster granola
3 strawberries, sliced
cinnamon

What to do: 
In a bowl, mix in however much cinnamon you like in the yogurt really well then stir in half of the granola. Put 1/2 of your yogurt mixture on the bottom of your parfait glass. Sprinkle a little bit of granola on top (make sure to leave some on the side to layer again). Add 1/2 the slices of strawberry. Then layer again with the remaining yogurt, strawberries, and granola. 

I love when I can toss a bunch of stuff in a pan, throw it in the oven, and go about my day. Obviously that's not the case here... But at least you have about 6 minutes or so to do something productive while the omelette is in the oven :)

What you'll need:

• 3 whole eggs
  
• 3 egg whites
  
• 1/4 cup whole leaf spinach
  
• 1/4 tomato, thinly sliced
  
• salt & pepper to taste
  

What to do:
Spray the bottom of an 8 or 9 inch round baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. In a separate bowl, crack the eggs, add salt and pepper, and whisk together. Pour eggs into baking pan, evenly spread out spinach leaves while pressing them down so that they are somewhat covered with the egg mixture. Place in the oven at 350 degrees for about 5-7 minutes. Remove pan, layer on slices of tomato, place back in the oven and broil the top for just a few minutes. Bon Appetit :)
