Looking for breakfasts.

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for some pretty specific breakfasts and was wondering if anyone has any ideas?
I need something that's vegetarian, dairy free, nut free and doesn't contain mushrooms. I'd like something low in sugar too as everything I can find seems to have loads of sugar in. It also needs to be as quick as possible (10 minutes, absolute max)
I'm really struggling here - Any ideas?

scrambled egg with greens and tomatoes? oatmeal with fruit?0

eggs, porridge with water or juice, fruit salad or smoothies.0

Oatmeal, grits, or cream of wheat, maybe add some fruit to sweeten it.
Quinoa would work too.
Black coffee.
That's all I got.0 -
Are eggs vegetarian? Technically?0

If you eat eggs, they can be combined in a multitude of ways.
Apart from the regular omelet, scrambled etc., you can make an egg fritata: mix protein of choice (I did it with chicken, maybe lentils and beans? or without any), some green veggies like spinach, and a couple of eggs. Bake in the oven until the eggs are done. You do this one in advance, and then just heat up a square in the morning.
Oatmeal made with almond or rice milk (just heat milk in a cup in the microwave, pour over oatmeal, let sit for couple of minutes). You can even make it with coffee instead of milk (what can I say, I was desperate :-)). Add some dried fruit (not too much if you are watching your sugar), a spoon of honey maybe (or something like stevia I guess, I don't use it)
In general though, there are no such things as "breakfast-only" foods. You can eat whatever you feel like eating. You can make a bit of extra of whatver you are having for dinner and just reheat it in the morning.

I just thought of another one. Cook lentils and chickpeas until they are about 90% done. Drain the water and put them in a food processor of some sort. Blend them about halfway, mix with eggs and enough flour to get a pancake consistency. Make pancakes, but take them out before they are done. Cool, freeze, then defrost/finish them in a pan before eating. You can modify it with spices to vary the taste. Also I guess you could add beans instead.0

Someone posted a recipe using 1/3 cup oats and two eggs. Add a little salt and cinnamon to taste, mix it all up, and pour in a pan. Cook it like a pancake.
But do NOT call it french toast, the masses take offense for some reason.0 -
Overnight oats - google them, there are tonnes of recipes out there, but my fav is currently oats, chia seeds, a little brown sugar, cinnamon, almond (or coconut) milk, vanilla essence and mashed pumpkin. Mix up and refrigerate overnight, serve with fresh fruit. Takes about 10 mins to make a batch, I tend to make enough for 4 days, then super quick to dish up of a morning.0

I'm a big fan of protein pancakes. 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/4 C unsweetened almond milk, 1 egg, 1 t cinnamon. Cook in dry, non-stick skillet on medium heat just like regular pancakes. They are delicious.0

Rice Crispies + Chia seeds + almond milk

How about steel cut oats with blueberries, raisins and a tsp of brown sugar?0

I've been eating a berry crumble for breakfast lately. Mash up a banana and add 3/4 cup thawed mixed berries and place in a ramekin. Top with a little bit of oats, flour, cinnamon and butter and put on top. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. I top mine with a Greek yogurt/whipped cream blend but you can leave that off. I make 4 at a time one evening so it is very easy and little time in the mornings for breakfast - zap for a minute in the microwave put my yogurt mix on it and eat mmmmm!!! Can't wait for breakfast tomorrow.0

Vegetable omelet, just chop the vegetables the night before and don't include mushrooms or cheese (although I often do).0

I'm a vegetarian, I eat eggs and dairy products.
When someone says "vegetarian," they are usually referring to lacto-ovo vegetarians, that still consume eggs and milk products, but no animal flesh.
When someone says "vegan," they are definitely referring to strict vegetarians who consumes no animal flesh or animal byproducts, such as eggs, diary, honey, etc.0 -
I recently started pre-making an easy portable breakfast!
Take 6 slices of multi-grain bread, cut off the crusts and squish them flat. Spray a muffin pan with non stick spray and press the bread into the cups, with the corners poking up. Fill the cups with fillings of your choice - Spinach, tomato, asparagus, facon, whatever. Crack an egg over the top of each - I don't break the yolk. Bake until the egga are set. It's like eggs and veg on toast, but in a portable muffin-like format! Reheat nicely in 20 seconds in the microwave.0 -

Plain cheerios with soy milk... You don't have much options with all those restrictions, or oatmeal and a banana..0 -
I make breakfast "cookies" with 2 mashed bananas, 1.5 cups instant oatmeal, 2T chia seeds (I also throw in a 1/4c choc chips) spray a cookie sheet, form into 24 cookies, bake 12 min at 350. I freeze them and thaw 4 in the fridge overnight. About 170 cals for 4. Sometimes I swap the banana for canned pumpkin. Good luck!0

You need to learn how to make lentil soup. Here's a basic one and i prefer it to most of those that include vegetables. Make a big batch, Store it in the fridge and freezer.
Red lentils, water, salt, olive oil (1tsp per cup of soup). Cook till the lentils are soft. blend. If you are not in love, add more salt. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice if you like. Add the oil when you are reheating your serve of soup.
2 cups should take you a fair way but i often have a serve of 1 cup as an entree.
I first came across this soup in Turkey and often had it for breakfast.
You can also add more complexity by including chickpeas. I like a ratio of 2 lentils to 1 chickpeas.
Lentils etc are high in protein and you should be eating a ton of it given your diet restrictions. They are also high in fibre.
Anyway yes, there are some other great bean lentil chickpea soups around. Once you decide you want to take this path, you won't look back. Look for recipes.
Same with dal and rice. That's something else you should be eating regularly. If you are going to be a vegan, you must eat bread or rice. And you must learn how to cook.
As for sugar, do you mean, carbohydrate? If so, then stop worrying about sugar and only worry about added sugar. Don't use the sugar counter on mfp. Instead use the fibre counter. I am sure that sugar counter is causing more harm than health. I suspect the original intention was for diabetics.0 -
I was also going to say - if it helps, forget the concept of "breakfast food". It's a marketing ploy and nothing more. Anything can be breakfast! Have a sandwich, if you like! A chickpea and vegetable pattie, leftovers - whatever!0

She said no dairy... Eggs are dairy and not vegan... She also said 10 minute max... All the recipes people are suggesting sound great, but the prep time sounds like it will eat up the 10 minutes, let alone the cooking time...

I took the no dairy to be a dietary restriction ie. lactose intolerance. Eggs don't fit that category. It's highly debatable as to whether they are dairy, as they are not a byproduct of mammary output. And she didn't say she was vegan.

How about overnight oats in a jar. The base is 1/4 cup quick oats, 1/2 cup almond milk, 2 tsp chia seeds. Leave it in a covered container in the fridge overnight and it is done. You can add anything you like to spice it up like cinnamon and shredded apples.0

I'm not seeing the problem. My kids have cereal, scrambled eggs and maybe some fruit pretty much every morning of their life. Takes 5 minutes and is dairy free with soy or almond milk. Other ideas are toast or tortilla with beans, soy yogurt, smoothie, or leftovers from whatever you had for dinner last night.
Breakfast is the least painful meal of the day for vegetarians, IMHO.0 -
I almost always have a green smoothie for breakfast. It usually involves 2 -3 cups of greenery (spinach, kale), a small tomato, banana, frozen berries, and coconut water. I hate cucumbers in drinks, but you can put that in there if so inclined. I don't know what types of sugars you are avoiding, the banana is a higher sugar fruit. Oh and half an avocado. I sweeten it with agave or something similar, especially if I used kale.
Takes less than 5 minutes. Has about 400 to 500 calories in it.0 -
Why are there always so many breakfast threads? What is the big deal with breakfast?0
-
Leftovers-reheat quickly or eat cold
Soups- make a big pot in advance and reheat quickly
Salads- bean, lettuce, spinach, cabbage, vegetables, fruit, pasta
Fruit
Lettuce wraps with beans and veggies or bean burritos with salsa
Hummus and veggies or tortilla
Oatmeal
Dry cereal0 -
Beans on toast. Filling, high in protein and yummy. Literally takes 2 minutes to heat the baked beans and toast the bread. Just go for a brand of beans without massive amounts of sodium or added sugar 0
-
Avocado on toast.
I discovered it yesterday and it is my new favourite breakfast, just toast some bread, mash up an avocado with a bit of salt and pepper (maybe some hot sauce if you like it) and spread it on the toast.
It kept me full until 1pm (I ate at 8am and cycled 7 miles before lunch) and it's only around 350 calories!0
