I am getting a bit bored with my eggs in the morning but can't think of anything else to have. I am not a big fan of cereal and don't feel like it fills me up till lunch and it has to be something I can keep in work and make there (we only have a fridge, a toaster and a microwave). Any ideas anyone?

    I drink Shakeology every morning. It's not a protein shake. It's like 5 servings of vegetables in one drink. And it's super yummy!!

    Any flavor of yogurt with a serving of any kind of dry cereal it is actually super good and filling. (I personally add nothing more, no syrup etc) and keep in mind you do not have to have 'breakfast' food for breakfast! You can have leftover dinner, a sandwich, soup, salad...whatever you like!

    I have cottage cheese with in-season fruit. Love it with berries. The protein makes it especially good (cereal also don't keep me full until lunch) and it's easy to take on the go if needed.

    I am not a big cereal lover, but I love a couple of Weetabix with a thick protein shake over the top
    Greek yogurt with mixed nuts
    cottage cheese with honey and cinnamon
    I put steamed veggies in a blender with my eggs, chop/blend it all and cook in microwave for 2 mins
    or just anything. No reason you have to have a traditional type breakfast meal in the morning, just eat whatever you fancy that is healthy and fits your macros.

    The good news is, you can eat absolutely anything for breakfast. For example, I'm having split pea soup this morning. There are no rules for what you must eat for breakfast. My only suggestion would be to make it rich in fiber & protein. That'll fill you up until lunch, but have a healthy snack available just in case you need it.

    Wishing you the best!

    New Breakfast Oatmeal today: 1 cup oatmeal, and than I added 1/2 packet sugar free / fat free banana pudding to it. Thick, flavorful, only 50 extra calories.

    I make no-oatmeal:

    1/2 a banana
    1 egg
    Tablespoon of almond butter
    Splash of almond milk
    Cinnamon, chopped nuts, raisins, whatever else you want - optional

    I throw this all in a little tupperware, and when I get to work, I mash it all up with a fork and microwave/stir for 30 second intervals until it's cooked through but not dried out. It tastes like banana bread oatmeal.

    English muffins with a dollup of ( greek yogurt+dijon mustard and dried herbs if your choice) with tomatoes scallions and a sharp cheddard cheese on top s/p to taste. Steel cut or rolled oat cooked in almond milk with cinnamon and a grated or cubed apple in it. Good old pb sandwich with a banana. Pancakes Yogourt with fruits on the side and a toast or half bagel or english muffin ... How do you make your eggs?

    When I also have time I make myself some breakfast bars. Check out the site ohsheglows.com it is mainly a vegan website but she has many recipe that are amazing. she has a recipe for oatmeal squares that are so filling you'll love it I'm sure.

    Slice of wholewheat toast with peanut butter and a banana slice on top at home (about 6am) followed by a small protein shake before I get to work (just before 8am). Usually keeps me going until lunch! :)

    Anything you want.. breakfast is not limited to certain foods.. I've had all kinds of things for breakfast. yes I tend to stick with eggs or protein pudding or fruit or shakes because they are quick and easy, but you want steak you have steak. This week is open the fridge and make something up week. since i am running low on everything and need to stretch my pennies. This weekend will be interesting as I clear out my pantry.

    I like to have overnight oatmeal. I combine 1 mashed banana, 1/2 cup steal-cut oats, 1/2 cup almond milk, 2 tbsp chia seeds and a little cinnamon in a bowl, then I cover and put in the fridge overnight. In the morning I heat up about half of it (for me that is enough) for about a minute in the microwave. Then I usually add a little more almond milk, some walnuts and whatever fruit I have on top (pomegranate or cherries are great).

    This morning I blended some full fat organic yoghurt from a local farmer (it is really really good), spinach, frozen strawberries, and some skim milk. It was meant to be a smoothie but it was more like frozen yoghurt. It was really delicious O_O.

    Sometimes instead of regular eggs I mix pureed pumpkin if I have it (I put a pumpkin in the oven, scoop out the goo, lasts me a good while), with some raisins, cinnamon, an egg and an eggwhite. If you fry it on really low heat with a lid/foil on the pan, you get a nice filling, fluffie, pumpkin pancake. Also good with some melted cheese.

    I eat "pumpkin pie" oatmeal regularly. Add a serving of pure pumpkin puree (you can buy Libby's in a can- just make sure it's pure pumpkin and not the pumpkin pie mix version) and pumpkin pie spice. I also had two tbsp of chocolate PB2. I tend to just microwave an instant lower sugar Quaker maple brown sugar packet. Occasionally, I make it with plain oatmeal too and both are good. Mix well for the tastiest results.
