What is your favorite healthy breakfast to start the day?

rjwright1970

I don't have a favorite I guess, but I am addicted to Special K Cinnamon Pecan. I do like making frittata (omelette) with cheese and kale, spinach or broccoli. I also get a 12 grain bread for Avocado Toast, in which I take a half Avocado and smash it with enough Cayenne Pepper to taste. I also like the Old Fashioned Oatmeal with Craisins, chopped pecans and cinnamon. Also like most people who can't seem to start the day coffee, I am one of them. It was also suggested to me to drink at least 8 oz of water before anything else passes my lips; because it wakes up the metabolism.

Nearly every weekday morning I have the yoplait tropical fruit 100 calorie greek yogurt and mix it with 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese. I know it sounds kinda gross but it really is very good. Sometimes I will chop up a banana and add it. 180 calories and 22 grams of protein...not bad.

Ok this sounds like an AWESOME idea!!! I'm trying to eat as much protein as possible with as little calories and this for sure fits the bill!!

I have just discovered Kodiak Flapjack Mix with Protein. You can make anything!! Breakfast casseroles, muffins, waffles, pancakes; or add oats and mashed bananas and you've got a protein filled cookie!! I also love Ezekiel Bread english muffins topped with a 100 calorie pack of Wholly Guacamole (sometimes I add a sliced hard boiled egg as well) This is by far the most delicious breakfast I've experimented with

I make baked oatmeal everyday! 1/2 cup rolled oats, 45 g egg white, 20 g skim milk, 2 g honey, 25 g applesauce, 1 tbsp peanut butter, a little vanilla and baking powder - so good! Comes out to around 300 calories.

I made pumpkin pie flavored oatmeal the other day and it was super good and kept me fill for several hours. Which is not easy to do as I have a massive appetite!

Hi - How did you make the oatmeal? With pumpkin pie spice? Just wondering cuz sounds good.

This morning I had scrambled eggs with garlic and on the side I had a sweet potato hash that included onions, zucchini and spinach. It was greaté

2 scrambled eggs (120 cals), 1 oz shredded mozzarella (30 cals), tomatoes. Then, 2 Morning Star sausage links (80 cals) - microwave 45 secs then add to egg scramble = YUMMY (230 cals). Protein fills me until mid morning snack!

I love the Nugo nutrition to go protein bars for breakfast. They have 170 calories and 11 grams of protein and taste awesome.

Either cereal, I like Aldi's Milvale whole bran & wheat flakes cereal ( 90 cal for 3/4 cup)with a half banana and almond milk (not vanilla)

Or yogurt, I buy Aldi's Friendly Farms Greek plain yogurt in the large container (130 cal for 1 cup) and add a packet of Truvia sweetener, blueberries, strawberries or 1/2 banana and sometimes some chia seeds or a few cut up walnuts. Walmart has a good plain yogurt in a large container and much cheaper than many. Fage ( is the best, but more expensive)

Or eggs..sometimes a western omelet with 2 eggs or 1 egg & 1 white. I lightly saute some onion, pepper, mushrooms, spinach (whatever I have on hand) first. I keep that warm and add the egg to the small frypan. I either spray with cooking spray or use a little olive oil. When almost cooked I add a very small amount of cheese...I love feta and sometime sprinkle some turmeric (it's supposed to be good for you), basil flakes, salt and pepper. And definitely coffee with low fat creamer

My favorite go to breakfast items are BF bowls:

Savory Oatmeal
Old fashion oats cooked with some onion, celery and salt ... Then topped with an over medium egg, grated Parmesan and bacon pieces ... CRAZY GOOD!!

And my blk bean and egg bowl
1/2-3/4c rinsed blk beans warmed, sprinkle them with cumin, add a little chopped onion, diced tomatoes, avocado and a over medium egg.

Wouldn't be disappointed any either of these!!!!!!

oatmeal with milk

curlybiker

I am a low carb person, but i missed oatmeal so I found this idea for a fake oatmeal and I love it, it also has a fiber punch that's sometimes hard to get when eating low carb. Its a bit sticky but it does the job. I make mine with pb2 b/c i love peanut butter but you could omit that and use a tbs of heavy cream, berries or anything else you would like to flavor it with, I don't remember what web site I found this on or I would give credit. Also, the initial recipe used 2 tbs chia but i didn't feel that i needed that much
152 cal, 13 carbs, 9 fiber, 9 protein
1 tbs chia seeds
2 tbs flax meal
1 pkt sweetner (stevia)
2 tbs pb2
- mix everything with 1/3 cup hot water and let it sit for a min to thicken.
- I complete it with a coffee with 1 tbs heavy cream and 1 tbs torani french vanilla sugar free syrup.

There is also classic scrambled eggs

I love my overnight oats. I prep them Sunday night to last me Monday-Thursday. I add 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup cashew milk, fresh berries or apples, cinnamon, hemp seeds, and a dollop of Greek yogurt. It keeps me comfortably full and satisfied all morning long. And better yet, prevents me from snacking at my desk.

I love breakfast! On the weekends I make a farm fresh fritatta. I take two whole eggs and beat them with a whisk with 6-8 equivalent of egg whites. I place 2 T olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add whatever fresh vegetables I have on hand. Usually it involves spinach,zucchini,celery,carrots,onions and bell peppers. Sometimes I add a little hot pepper or broccoli, or fresh herbs like basil and or cherry tomatoes all cut to bite size pieces. I stir fry the vegetables until tender/crisp and poor over the egg mixture and let the bottom set on medium low on the stove. (Do not stir) Once set, place in the oven under the broiler until the top is set and just slightly browned. Remove with potholder to cool on a cutting board a few minutes. Cut fritatta in pie like wedges and remove from the pan with a flat thin spatula or knife. Serves 4-6 large servings. Add salt/Pepper/ Hot sauce or salsa to taste. I freeze left over wedges to serve during the week with a quick microwave warm up.High Fiber, Low fat, and filling! Add beans or cauliflower and southwestern seasonings to change it up every now and then. Enjoy!!!

My other go to breakfast is a soft boiled egg in the egg cup.I also have a cup of steel cut irish oats with a tablespoon of clover honey and top it off with 1% milk. Add a hot cup of Barry's Irish Tea with 1% milk and your good to go the duration of the day. Sometimes I add flax seed or whole oat bran to the oatmeal. This is stick to your ribs food that tastes great and energizes you for the day!

I buck the trend on low-carb that I was on for a few years. Being a Type 2 diabetic I was always trying to go low until met a nutritionist who said try going back to higher carb & trying Intermittent fasting(18 hours of fasting 6 hour window of eating) My oatmeal is a savory one since I don't have a sweet tooth. 1/4 cup of steal cut oatmeal, 1 tbsp of MCT oil, 1 tbsp of one of the hot pepper purees I have(everything from naga jolokia to scotcb bonnet LOL), 1 scoop of unflavored whey protein, cook for 25-30 minutes, add 4 tbsp of salsa, then once it's done, crack 2-3 large egg in and it's awesome. 485calories 29g Carbs 18g Fat 55g Protein Since then my blood sugar has improved drastically and I've been dropping body fat as well.

I sautee 1/2 tbs coconut oil, 2 whole eggs, and 1 cup spinach together and right before I plate I stir in 1/2 oz of feta cheese. It hits the spot every time! Under 300 calories too!

I've been making breakfast smoothies (bonus: I make them the night before and put in the freezer, take them out before heading to work and by the time I get to work, they are just the right amount of slushy-ness)

1 cup kefir, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 banana, 1 tsp chia seeds. Then depending on my mood, I add a mix of frozen fruit.

snj928

If it's after a morning workout I usually do oatmeal and fruit. If I haven't worked out yet I usually microwave scramble 2 eggs with some veggies. And of course coffee with just a splash of creamer every day.

mangrothian

I've been doing chia seed puddings with frozen fruit or overnight oats. I don't eat breakfast until I get to work because I'm just not hungry until then, so I have something I can make the night before and take with me the next morning along with my lunch.

What does matcha taste like? I have never heard of it, but looked it up. lol

kittydale9

On Sunday I make up 3-4 cooked eggs to use throughout the week. I take one out in the morning and heat in microwave while I am toasting a Thomas Light English Muffin in toaster. I then put them together with a 22% cheese slice. I eat on the run so this is easy for me to make and eat in the car on the drive to work.

I tried making up the sandwiches ahead of time and then popping into the microwave in the morning. I found this makes for a somewhat soggy muffin. I like the English muffins toasted.

brrrimcold1984

Green smoothie with chia. Usually strawberry or strawberry banana.

MariRaina

Oatmeal or cream of wheat with real butter and a bit of sugar with a side of real, whole grain toast.
