I'm a fruit, yogurt, or complex carb kinda gal.

Ever tried "Overnight Oats"? They're the BEST! And the variety of what you can do with them is endless....

i'm with these guys on the overnight oats, they are so handy, when i'm at college during the week i'm an up and out the door morning person aswell so to have this pre-made is great especially it still allows me to have my oatmeal, a serving of greek yoghurt and topped with a serving of fruit such as raspberries or almonds - getting so much in at once, its a great healthy breakfast!

Sometimes I cut up fruit the night before such as apples, strawberries, oranges...anything thats in the house really and store it in a tupperware container overnight and then bring it with me on the go the next morning, but I always find myself hungrier by lunchtime, its still handy though!

If you like to get your eggs in but find you don't have the time to cook them another one I've tried before is omelet muffins. These actually taste so good and you can prepare them sunday night and have them for the week.
Here's a few ideas.

Quinoa porridge~
(I use the rice cooker but you can experiment otherwise)
Rinse 3/4 cups quinoa well,
put into rice cooker with 1 1/4 cups almond milk (or otherwise), 3.4 cups boiling water, and flavourings (I use 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp vanilla, about 1/2 tsp nutmeg...)
flick over to cook, take it out about 25 minutes later. Here I take half the amount (the batch makes 2 servings) stir in stevia and raisins (now would be a good time for adding protein) and eat Put the rest in a box for tomorrow!
(You can make bigger batches and do it all the night before, too)

I get up, eat breakfast, and head for the gym first thing, so here's what I eat, besides what others have suggested:

Half a cup of Quaker Oats, one cup of water, put in large glass bowl in microwave and blast for 2 1/2 minutes. While it's cooking, I grab my bag of frozen blueberries from the freezer and put 1/2 cup of berries into the bowl. When the oatmeal is ready, dump it on top of the berries, then take 1 Tablespoon of crunchy peanut butter and swirl it around on top of the oatmeal till it starts to melt. Then top with 1 Tablespoon of chia seeds and mix all of it up .

This is really tasty and packed with protein and fiber.

Another really good breakfast is to do the steel cut oats in the crockpot overnight, with some apples and cinnamon.

My favorite to go with eggs if I have time is Canadian Bacon ,which is already cooked and only has to be heated up in a pan for a few seconds( Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day because of all the great choices)

Water? For real bro? I like food. Mostly oatmeal with protein, cocoa powder, and peanut butter. Breakfast burritos with homemade pork sausage. Refried bean, bacon and, egg burritos. Homeade granola with greek yogurt...

Yes for real, I get up at 4:30 am and train fasted. I love "breakfast foods", but eat "breakfast" in any traditional sense.

THIS.. Eggs and bacon ARE HEALTHY.

Edit: but I usually eat them for lunch. And I do NOT mean just egg whites. :noway:

Poached eggs on sourdough bread with smoked salmon, spinach and hollandaise sauce. A massive amount of mushrooms and tomato on the side. So good! smoked salmon is expensive though.

Black coffee, wait until noon to eat

I pretty much do this, but as far as favorite breakfast foods - baked chocolate oatmeal, quiche, and meat & veggie stratas. I eat breakfast for dinner a lot, and these are staples, esp since they freeze well.

I've been making "cookies" that I can bring to work to have breakfast when I'm ready, and they are so good! Mix 3 mashed bananas and 1 cup oatmeal, shape into cookies and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. You can add 1/2 cup of mix-ins...this week it's sunflower seeds and mini dark chocolate chips

YUM! Sounds like a great idea!!

crystalfisher89

Spray the inside of a coffee cup with cooking spray/olive oil/coconut oil/whatever...pour in a serving of egg whites/egg beaters and up to 1/2c chopped omelette fixins, and season. Pop an english muffin/bread/roll/whatever in the toaster. Nuke eggs for 2 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the cooked egg, slide onto bread of choice, top with the other half and walk out the door. ( you can skip the bread and place a tortilla on the coffee cup during the last 15 seconds of cooking to warm it up and wrap the egg in the tortilla wrap-style, if you like, too.)

Prepping ingredients the night before can make this literally a 2 minute breakfast.

Genius and right up my alley!!!

Apple Pie Breakfast

- 1 cup of steel cut oats*
- 3 diced apples (I use Gala)
- 1 cup apple juice (I use Oasis)
- 3 cups water
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Directions - Slow Cooker

For Best Results: Combine all ingredients in slow cooker and cook for 2-4 hours on high or 4-6 hours on low until it reaches the consistency that you like. Be sure to stir every hour or so.

* You can also cook longer without stirring, but you have to add more water liquid and it does come out a bit mushier. Add an extra cup of liquid for 7-8 hours in the slow cooker.

ENJOY!! :happy:

These are all AmAzInG ideas guys! I'm writing my favorites down and finally have more ideas for quick breakfasts. I like my meat, but I can't have too much in the morning, I have to eat relatively light, but like to take things that taste okay semi-cold so I can eat until I am satisfied and then I finish it off as my "snack" before lunch.

Love the overnight oats a ton I'm pretty good at prepping stuff the night before as needed!

Oatmeal, Banana with almond butter, Whole wheat toasts with almond butter and bananas on top
Egg whites in a cup with curry, bacon bits and light cheese mixed together and in the microwave for a few minutes.

I think you should try a green smoothie! They are super good for you, taste amazing, and fill you up for hours!! Here's one of my favorite recipes, but there's tons you can find online:

2 fresh peeled bananas
1 cup de-stemmed kale
1 cup packed dandelion greens
1 cup packed baby spinach
8-10 whole strawberries (keep the green tops! They are edible too)
1 cup raspberries
1 cup fresh coconut water

Tastes sweet so don't worry!

Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day.I'm Malaysian and in malaysia many people eat ''nasi lemak'' for breakfast which is coconut rice,fried anchovies,one boiled egg,cucumber and fried peanuts and sambal (hot paste-like chilli thing).It is super unhealthy and if you eat it everyday it's going to fatten you up because one serving has 600 calories! I'm so happy i don't like the taste of nasi lemak.But ofcourse if you visit malaysia you should try that. Everybody(except me!) likes nasi lemak.Anyway eating it once won't make you fat.

I love this for breakfast, mine are never overnight oats though, I mix them in the morning.

My recent favorite has been
1/3 c. oats (instant and steel cut mixed)
1 T ground flaxseed
1/4 c. plain greek yogurt
1/4 c. homemade ns applesauce
a few slivered almonds
and sometimes I throw in a few raisins

I just mix everything together and let the oats sit while i get dressed. Delish!

I have also made it with fresh blueberries and raspberries in the summer and banana. With the banana I add a little honey to sweeten it up

That! A nice sliced orange and some black coffee and maybe some homemade ground pork patties are good too

the egg in the microwave is an awesome idea!

carolina822

My latest go-to has been scrambled egg beaters (they were on sale!) and a piece of whole wheat toast with some of the peach butter I made this summer.
