Two weeks ago, my boyfriend and I stayed at a place with a continental breakfast. They were totally out of fruit by the time we got down there, but luckily we had packed our own bananas!

I love it when a continental breakfast has packets of oatmeal and hot water to make it with. I like topping mine with some fruit and peanut butter if they have it. It’s almost like being at home that way and it definitely keeps me healthy and full too

Excellent tips, Tina! Whenever I visit a continental breakfast, I almost always go for the oatmeal if they have it, either in the big steaming vat (ever notice that it tastes so much better that way?) or packets to be prepared in the microwave. Add some nuts and fruit, and you’ve got a pretty stellar meal:)

My favorite continental breakfast includes a few slices of toast w/ peanut butter and a sliced banana! PLUS a couple bites of their pancakes, other fruit, oatmeal, etc!

Great post! When The BF and I were in Montreal we enjoyed a wonderful continental breakfast at our little hotel – a full menu full of fresh fruit and whole wheat toast/pancakes/whatever! It was awesome

these are great tips. i usually go for yogurt, fruit, nuts, and cereal or toast. eggs are a good option too. and i always steal apples or bananas to go!

I LOVE continental breakfasts! I usually spread PB on whole what toast and top it with a banana. I dont eat PB otherwise so it is a treat for me!

Thanks! It took me a while to get over the all-you-can-eat “It’s Free!” mentality. Taking some stuff to go is great advice – makes me feel like I’ve taken “full advantage” of the buffet!
