Maple Fruit Topping

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').

Orange and Apple Fizz

From a Weight Watcher's perspective, though, I can afford to eat something else on top of this delicious drink.

Strawberry Yogurt Drink

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

200 g fresh strawberries

Winter Breakfast Fruit Salad

This is not really a quick low fat breakfast recipe. It's quick to eat, but it needs to be prepared 2 days before you do.

The natural sugars from the dried fruits make the juices sweeter during the 2 days you leave the salad standing for.
