---What are some easy and quick breakfast recipes that are healthy?
cheese tortillas are not the way to go if you are trying to eat a healthy breakfast.
If you are looking for something quick and easy, your best bet is to grab a yogurt cup and throw in some fresh fruit. The night before, you can slice up some strawberries, bananas, cherries, and throw some blueberries into a sandwich bag. The next morning, pour them into a bowl and pour a cup of yogurt on top- mix it up and enjoy. This is VERY good for you- it is brain food so it will give your brain a jump start for school and also the yogurt really helps your stomach when it comes to healing problems or speeding up digestion.
Fruit is also good for after school. What I like to have for snacks are baby carrots or celery, and dip it into a dressing I made from fat free sour cream mixed with some powdered ranch dressing dip mix (found near salad dressings in store, usually on top shelf).
If you just HAVE to have some carbs, like I do, try dipping some pretzels in mustard, or in the ranch dip we made above. Get the hard sourdough pretzels- they are the best tasting and most satisfying.
Another great thing to have is hummus- you can buy it premade in the store, and eat it with the raw veggies, or you can cut up some flour tortillas into triangles and put them on a cooking sheet in the oven at about 250 degrees for about 10 minutes- just keep your eye on them so they dont burn. you can touch them and if they are still too soft let them stay in there for another 5 minutes until the get harder.
lunch meat with a little piece of cheese inside is good to curb your hunger- but be careful because the cheese can be very heavy.
You could try some whole wheat waffles for breakfast- or turkey bacon. Here in the south we often eat big thick tomato slices for breakfast with a lil salt and pepper on them.

BREAKFAST OR SNACK GRANOLA
5 cups quick cooking oatmeal
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 cup non-fat dry milk
1 cup sesame seeds
1 1/2-2 cups dried fruit, chopped
1 cup organic flaked coconut
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
3/4 cup slivered almonds
1 cup vegetable or peanut oil
1 cup honey
For dried fruit, we like a combination of dry apricots, sliced dehydrated bananas, Craisins, raisins, chopped dates, etc. Use what you like best.
Combine all ingredients in a very large bowl and mix well. Warm the oil slightly and mix with the honey. Stir over the granola all at once and mix well using a large wooden spoon.
Spread on oiled cookie sheets or roasting pans and bake (in about 3 batches) at 300F for 20 minutes, turning over in pan halfway through the cooking time. Bake until granola is a nice toasty brown.
Allow to cool thoroughly before storing in airtight containers.
Note: We sometimes add a teaspoon of pure almond extract or ground cinnamon to the oil/honey as a variation. Half of the oil may be substituted with non-hydrogenated virgin coconut oil (found in health food stores and some supermarkets).
