Need breakfast ideas

madnlilmom

Hello! My struggle right now is with breakfast. Anyone have breakfast recipes, especially quick ones?

Instead of looking to others for foods ideas, I find doing a quick search on the Internet very educating. If there is a particular food you like. you can find many ways how to jazz it up. Right now I am in love with chick peas and have found numerous ways to eat it - scrambled, smoothie, curry to name a few.

How about an omelette? You can throw together a pretty nutritious meal that way.

A bowl of muesli or granola with rice coconut milk is fast and tasty. Peanut butter , jam and toast. Boiled eggs.

I really like eating savoury breakfasts if I can. One of my favourites is steelcut oatmeal (I do it overnight in the slowcooker and then I have enough for a week of breakfasts) + a steamed egg and some chopped veggies (I try to save some from the previous night's dinner) and chili sauce (sambal oelek).

I love saving some dinner and having the leftovers for breakfast. I'll make up a little "breakfast bowl" of leftovers and leave it in the fridge so I can quickly microwave it in the morning.
I find my couple bites of steak + veggies and potato so much more satisfying than cereal or toast or other typical breakfast foods that are usually very sweet. I also find it kind of weird that for the most part, traditional breakfast foods completely leave out vegetables. That makes it easy to eat too calorically dense of foods in the morning to be really satisfied if you still keep it under say 400 calories.

I usually have a backup tub of yoghurt in case I have to leave in a rush, Its good to have a 2-go-to back up like that, add the fruits you want if you have 5 minutes to spare, or take an easy to carry fruit with you when you are in a rush

If you have time though I would recommend making either Quesadillas, or Tortilla egg wraps
Easiest to cook is scrambled eggs,
- I would add some chopped ham and a vegetable of your liking,
- ideally for me spinach is an addition, but I think something like diced onion would be much quicker.
- if you are able to acquire corn tortillas, you would just warm them up and stuff the scrambled eggsw/the ingredients of your choice inside the tortilla, it's basically a breakfast wrap

For corn tortilla quesadillas its also quite quick
-Key ingridients are corn tortillas filled with your preference of cheese, I usually make mine with ghouda cheese
-If you have more time, you can add certain ingredients you prefer, I.E Leftovers (Such as meats) Ham, veggies, I tend to top them with cilantro as well.
-It's very diverse and very simple because you can make them however you like

2 links turkey sausage (Shady Brook) on a toasted multi grain English Muffin. Cupcake omelets-make ahead and freeze. Cheerios with skim milk. Yogurt with sliced almonds and fresh fruit. Scrambled eggs with WW toast. One of my favs toasted Multigrain Eng muffin with PB and 1/2 banana.

Overnight oats with a topping of your choice - one serving of oatmeal 40g in a breakfast bowl, add 100ml of milk or non-dairy substitute, stir and cover with cling-film. Leave in the fridge overnight, give it a stir in the morning and add whatever you like - nuts, seeds, fruit etc - or eat it plain.

Cottage cheese and berries (warmed from frozen) on toast.
Same as above, except instead of toast top with granola or nuts.

Cottage cheese topped with sauted vegetables of choice and chopped nuts, or on toast.

Blend up 3/4 - 1 cup grapes or berries with one egg. Pour into a bowl and top with about 2tbsp chopped nuts or granola.

unicorn_wild_flower

Overnight rolled oats with milk and seed (chia or flax). Simple yet elegant
You may go with fruits!

theknoxie

A piece of wheat toast, sunny side up egg, turkey bacon and avocado and saracha . I live for savory breakfasts

I make crustless quiche and eat it all week. I don't usually have much time to make my own while getting the family out the door, so I just warm up a slice.

I make a large batch of quinoa with just water. In the mornings, I use 1/2 cup of the cooked quinoa, a scoop of vegan vanilla protein powder, and 1/2 cup of berries (blueberries, raspberries, etc.) with 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk. Stir it together and pop it in the microwave until it's heated through. It works out to a huge bowl of food, which really fills me up and keeps me full all morning. It's less than 250 calories, and has 15 g of protein. The batch of quinoa can then be jazzed up or used in other recipes for lunches and dinner, as well.

Protein pancakes are my favourite atm. It's quick and easy with a blender.
Oats, protein powder of choice blended together, add a whole egg or two (or two cups of egg whites depending of goals)
A full banana. Blended up till thick consistency.
I usually get about 6 pancakes. Whxj I split during day and have with low fat Greek yogurt and steawberrys.
Or if I am on a heavy day on the side I have some scrambled egg and 2 turkey bacon rashers.
Try it guys!

Old-fashioned oat, Omelet (you can put anything in them), Ensure (only 1 a day) when I do not have time to fix something on a very busy day. Gluten free pancakes, French toast, Eggs-boiled, Peanut butter on toast.

I'm lazy and realize I need to make breakfast when the 2 minute mark is hit between walking out the door and where I am right then.

I love sugar free carnation instant breakfast. I put it in a plastic cup, nonfat milk, and a few squirts of liquid coffee. Sounds weird and isn't what most people would consider a good breakfast but it has a good amount of protein, caffeine, and life. It's my favorite go-to when I'm late.

I sometimes buy English muffins. Spray a coffee cup with pam, crack an egg and mix it, microwave. Toast the muffin, put a piece of turkey on it, blue cheese, mustard, flop the egg onto it and viola, 2 minute egg muffin.

If I have no muffins I will do the same as above only put the egg in a breakfast bowl so it comes out bigger and put it on two pieces of toast.

I like to have oatmeal when it's around. Add protein for double the power!

Steak with eggs was today's breakfast. Pulled an eye of round cut and put it in the fridge to defrost yesterday morning.

This morning threw a skillet on the burner with a skim of butter and cranked on the heat. Grabbed the meat and eggs out of the fridge. Weighed the steak and cooked it with the eggs. 10 minutes.

Would have been quicker, but the electric stovetop is a finicky P.o.S. Tomorrow I'm going for maximum burn on the darned, f'ing hunk of junk.

Did make a fruit and protein smoothie in the blender between flipping my food. Breakfast and mid-morning snack/smoothie prepped at the same time.

I eat a smoothie with frozen berries, brown rice protein powder, chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, and some lettuce. Pour it all into a bowl and add 1/2 c. quaker oats. It's tasty and so different from having plain oats with water every morning.

I am very open minded about food but that sounds disgusting.

I say, think outside the traditional breakfast box!
There's no reason one can't eat chicken or tuna for breakfast.....or a salad....
I know it's easy for me to feel stuck for choices when I think about the regular cereals/eggs/fruit and yogurt...

I cook a batch of chicken breasts in the evening, then put them in a container in the fridge for easy lunches ...or even breakfast

conniehgtv

my current favorite over night oatmeal.I make it in a mason jar.
1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2-1 cup Kefir, 1tbs ground walnuts.Stir well and store in fridge over night. I like it cold but u can nuke it. Kefir is a fermented yogurt that is chock full of probitics and OMG good.My fav is blueberry. Most large groceries carry it by the yogurt area.

A really fast breakfast can be breakfast burrito. I always have hard boiled eggs in the fridge. I take a tortilla (your preference, but flour works best), peal and slice one of the hard boiled eggs (I have a slicer that I use twice on the egg to make a bit smaller chunks). Add some lunch meat of your choice (I use organic turkey breast no nitrates), and a tablespoon of cheese, if desired). Wrap and microwave for a minute or so depending on your microwave power and ready to go! You could even prepare and wrap up the night before and just microwave before getting going.

A bit more time consuming, but not much... Make yummy scrambled eggs!
Sauté spinach in pan with a bit of olive oil and garlic, then pour in some whipped eggs (with a tablespoon of water to make extra fluffy), add some organic turkey breast chopped up (I often use non-nitrate slices for sandwiches to make it easy). Season with a bit of Light Adobo Goya (less sodium). Add a few sliced grape tomatoes if desired, or even a tablespoon of shredded cheddar.

I generally eat a hard boiled egg before I leave for work with my vitamins, and I always have individual servings of Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt (strawberry or blueberry are the best) that I pack with my lunch for work and eat mid-morning.

I do a green smoothy with protein powder most mornings since I don't have time for much else.

Honestly, eggs and bread are filling and what I ALWAYS eat for breakfast. I fry two eggs the night before and have one piece of toast and cut that in half so my eggs sit on the half pieces. its 290 calories (two eggs: 180, bread, 100-110) oatmeal doesn't cut it for me!

During the week, I do scrambled eggs. I whole jumbo egg, 1 jumbo egg white, splash of milk and cooked with pam butter spray. Boring but it holds me over and only 119 calories. Usually paired with 1 cup milk.

Weekends are my weak time. Usually just toast and a little butter on sat as I run out for my 2nd job. Sunday I fight the urge to go to the local eatery down the road for a big plate of calories and usually just have an egg or two. Tho sometimes, you just gotta give in!

I like to keep breakfast burritos in my freezer for the family - the ones I make are about 225 calories each large burrito.

Breakfast burrito:
Sauté onion, pepper, mushroom, spinach. Chop 8 slices of turkey or center cut bacon, and crisp. Cook 8 scrambled eggs, and mix all cooled ingredients together. Lay out 8 large high fiber/low carb burritos (like La Tortilla Factory smart and delicious line or Ole Wellness High Fiber) – for gluten free, Aldi sells a 90 calorie GF tortilla. Divide mixture amongst 8 burritos, top each with 14-28g cheese of choice, and roll into burritos, folding in the sides. Lay seam side down on cookie sheet, and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to labeled freezer bag. To serve, microwave wrapped in damp paper towel for 2-3 minutes until thawed or microwave until thawed and crisp in a pan or under the broiler. Options: add in cooked potatoes, vegetables to taste, sun dried tomatoes, jalapenos, hot sauce, or any other preferred fillings. Can substitute 2 egg whites for each whole egg.
