Struggling to find breakfast ideas I like that aren’t super obvious..

Pick a protein (for me yesterday Applegate Farms chicken breakfast sausage (45 calories) and 1 whole egg plus an egg white scrambled (90 calories ), and either a cup of fruit or two veggies ( I had a cup of spinach and two Compari tomatoes so less than a 100 calories but a lot of nutritional bang for your buck). I will add a thin slice of whole wheat bread with a tsp of Earth balance if I am very hungry. I have a cup of coffee with soymilk, stevia and a dollop of cocowhip and a dusting of cocoa powder in the mid-morning. One thing that really helps me stay on track is that I have a dairy allergy and most of the goodies in the break room or a restaurant are off limits for me. find a combo you like, mix it up a little for variety, and get into an eating routine.

I'm a big savory oatmeal fan. I love mushrooms, spinach and diced tomatoes with nutritional yeast. Another fave is bok choy, onions, mushrooms and curry.

I also make batches of breakfast burritos (sans eggs) and keep them in my office freezer.

I have been making a keto chaffle for breakfast and topping it with garlic fried mushrooms and wilted spinach on top. So delicious and very low calories.

I like to cut the seeded bottom off a butternut squash/pumpkin then slice the rest (in thin slices) so it resembles a slice of bread but half as thick, I then toast it in the toaster like normal (on the highest setting for about 2-3 repeats) I like 'em spread with peanut butter but you can top with whatever, sweet or savory toppings work. (I don't peel it or use any oil)

I personally love breakfast!

Savory oats, jalapeno flapjacks, breakfast burritos (great to grab and go), smoothie bowls, plantain porridge, egg and 'sausage' quesadillas, granola/seed bars, and sweet potato muffins are among my favorite options.

Oat omelette or as I like to call it Oat Pizza is my go to recipe for breakfast. It's nutritious and makes you really full without eating too much.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
2 table spoon of oat
tomatoe
pepper(green/red)
olive
cheese
mushroom

You can think of any pizza like ingredients for this. The main ingredients are eggs and oat, the rest is up to you. I usually prefer pepper, cheese and tomatoe.

You grind oats with blender and then mix with the eggs. Then pour in the egg mix and cook on a low heat with a lid on. Cook on both sides until done. (I'm not using batter, my pan doesn't stick, but you can add little if you are ok with it)

And I think you can even cook this in the microwave.

And oat pizza is ready. (Don't mind the olives in the pic, they are for decoration lol)

Avocado toast with egg on top OR English muffin with turkey bacon, egg and avocado OR Egg scramble with spinach, turkey bacon or sausage, and avocado. Maybe a little sprinkle of cheese if you're feeling frisky.

I'm more a savory breakfast person than sweet. I think I've had eggs for breakfast every single day for the past 5 years lol. I love them and you can make so many recipes with them. If I do not want the complete fat content of 2 large eggs, I'll do one full egg and egg whites combined to lower the fat content. Everything but the bagel seasoning is great too to put on the eggs, avocado, etc!

Black bean and sweet potato breakfast burritos. You can make them ahead of time wrap them individually and freeze them.

Piggybacking on this, I've been prepping weekly batches of breakfast burritos for about a month now. They clock in around 500 cal - could probably reduce them even further and cut carbs if I used the fancy (and expensive) low-carb tortillas, but eh. Cost per burrito is usually between 50 cents and a dollar, depending on what I put in it.

Basic burrito recipe calls for ~50g scrambled eggs, ~10-20g breakfast meat of your choice (I find bacon to be the most cost-effective), ~40g oven-roasted potatoes/onions/peppers, and ~20g shredded cheese, rolled up in a burrito-size flour tortilla. I wrap them in parchment paper and freeze 6-8 hours or overnight on a baking tray, then transfer to a ziploc baggie. They reheat in the microwave in 2 minutes, flipping halfway. A lot of blog posts will show burritos wrapped in both parchment and foil, I find I don't need the foil and I prefer not having to unwrap my burrito before tossing it in the microwave.

This week I made burritos with some leftover ham from Christmas and some pepper-jack cheese. I did some Cincinnati-chili burritos with black beans, raw red onion, and shredded cheddar last week, which were great. One week I used a habanero cheddar, which was very good, but the spice was kind of a lot to deal with at 9 AM. Queso fresco works great, but if you're going to go with a different cheese, I recommend getting a block and shredding it yourself - it melts better, and you know, shredding cheese is a nice little arm workout (;
