This is not a quick low fat breakfast recipe on its own. It is rather an "add on" to dishes such as the Banana French Toast contained in this page.
You can pour this delicious topping on any toast based dish, but you must remember to take into account (add) the fat and calories (or points, if you're in Weight Watchers').

1 Tbs fresh lemon juice

Melt the low fat butter or margarine over medium heat.

Simmer occasionally for another 3 minutes.
Now your syrup is ready for your other delicious quick low fat breakfast recipes.
Use with caution... enjoy but don't indulge to much. Just a bit.

Sometimes I like just a drink as quick low fat breakfast recipe.
Drinks are quick and easy to make, and delicious to have in the morning.
Nutritional Information Serves 4 Fat: 0 g Cal: 26 KJ: 110 WW: 0.5 Point |
|
Ingredients:
2 grapefruits
2 oranges
2 lemons
2 limes
mineral water (cold)
|
This is what you do:
Squeeze the fruit juice from the grapefruits, oranges, lemons and limes and mix together.
Add the mineral water.
Tip: if you want to add extra flavor, you could make "flavored" ice cubes by extracting some juice from a lemon and an orange the night before, and placing the juice and bits of pulp in an ice cube mold.

From all the drink-based quick low fat breakfast recipes, I think those with yogurt are the best. Yogurt based drinks tend to fill you up for longer periods. I feel this is a bit more of a substantial quick drink than the other ones I've listed above.
But this is not only a quick low fat breakfast recipe. You can have it any time you want. In fact, I like having it at night when I'm feeling hungry
