    Oh, so many options! Oatmeal with blueberries, protein powder and a spoonful of lemon pudding mix. Oatmeal with a tablespoon of PB and a few dark chocolate chips. Oatmeal with a tablespoon of brown sugar and raisins. Scrambled eggs, or scrambled egg omelet with turkey, spinach and peppers. The list is endless!

    Protein oats
    Any kind of egg dish : frittatas, crustless quiche, omelettes, breakfast burritos/sandwiches etc

    I'm kinda in the same boat as you though and haven't been in the mood for proats (those artificial sweeteners have been a big turn off lately) or eggs lately though so it's been a problem!

    I have been using this rice protein powder for my oats because it does not have that awful sweet flavor that comes with most of the whey products I've tried. It's not good for shakes because it is gritty, but it disappears perfectly in oatmeal and IMO adds very little flavor.

    I use whey powder for my post-workout shake. I just try to ignore the funky sweetener taste, but it dissolves well. Still looking for something better.

    The Biochem whey non flavored one tastes completely neutral to me.

    I haven't found a vegan one that dissolves well enough to use for oatmeal (haven't tried rice protein, though).

    i use plant fusion vegan protein that dissolves well in overnight oats with some almond milk. i really like it.

    For protein pancakes, you don't necessarily have to buy a mix. I bookmarked this recipe years ago: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/991227/ultimate-protein-pancakes-omg/p1

    I haven't tried it yet in all that time, but hey, it LOOKS good! ;)

    ETA: Pasting from the above linked thread:

    Makes 6 large pancakes. Nutritional information:

    Calories: 314 | Carbs: 34g | Fat: 1g | Protein: 43g (!!!)

    It's a good recipe, was always just too dry for my taste without fruit though, and strawberries and blueberries are too expensive right now. I always use a whole egg though!

    But it doesn't quite satisfy the pancake craving for me.

    Cool, I'll try it.

    A lot of good ideas here. I will have to try a frittata. My favorite is an egg, bacon and avocado scramble.

    You can make a porridge type breakfast using flaxseed meal which is high in essential omega 3s, fiber and a decent source of protein too.

    This is a yummy looking recipe

    I make up a scrambled egg mix, then in muffin tins I pop a bit of feta / grated cheese (or a dollop of low-fat cream cheese if I'm low on calories) and a few pieces of bacon / ham / chicken / broccoli or whatever leftovers I have, top up the case with the scrambled egg mix and pop in the oven for approx 20 mins until they are all puffed up and brown on top. So easy and seriously yum!!
