What do you have for breakfast?

Grokette

I'm beginning to get bored of my oatmeal and egg whites. Just wondering what you've all been whipping up for breakfast as I need to get a little more creative!

I am boring. I have either eggs and meat (bacon, sausage, or ham steak). And coffee of course.

I have a glass of chocolate soy milk on days that I work. On the weekends I workout in the morning so I usually have a whole grain pancake or waffle with soy or peanut butter and a little maple syrup.

I make these Breakfast Muffins nearly every Sunday evening, for an "on the go" breakfast during the week - I warm up one or two and eat 'em on the drive to work! You could also warm up a whole wheat tortilla with some cheese and one of these muffins for an egg burrito.

You can pretty much make the "filling" however you want - this is how I do it....

To make 12 "muffins", this is what I saute' together in a large frying pan sprayed with no-stick spray:

1 medium Chopped onion - I use purple onion
1 large Red Bell Pepper
1/4 - 1/2 cup cooked broccoli
1/4 - 1/2 cup cooked spinach
Morningstar Farms Original Sausage Patties - 4 patties

I make sure everything is chopped up before I throw it in the pan.

As that's all cooking together I beat together the following:

4 whole eggs
1 1/2 cups "All Whites" - carton egg whites, this is equivelant to 8 whole eggs
10-12 tablespoons (approximated) skim milk.
(I'm watching my egg yolk consumption, but if it's not an issue for you then you could certainly just use 12 whole eggs instead).

Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Put equal spoonfulls of the "filling" mixture from the frying pan into each section of the prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle with a very small amount of shredded cheese - I prefer Parmesan. Using a ladle, pour egg mixture over the filling/cheese.

I bake at 375 degrees for 12-18 minutes until eggs are cooked through & tops a bit brown, they rise a little like mini souffle's but fall a bit after they come out of the oven. If needed I put the broiler on for the last 1-2 minutes to give 'em a nice browned top.

Once cooled these lift out easily with a small spatula. Because I only used 4 whole eggs for 12 "muffins", there's only 1/3 of an egg yolk in each one, but plenty of egg whites for the protein. This is a great alternative if you are keeping your egg yolk consumption down or watching cholesterol.

You can change the "filling" to suit your tastes - I use whatever leftover cooked veggies I have on hand... I've used green beans, bok choy, whatever's in my fridge that needs to be used!

I put the above recipe into my MFP database - they came out to 98 calories per muffin!

I usually have half of a reduced fat peanut butter/sugar free jelly sandwich on healthy life whole wheat bread (35 cal per slice), a laughing cow wedge & a cup of coffee with hershey's chocolate syrup lite mixed in.

Have you tried the Whole wheat Eggo waffles? They are really good. I usually have 2 of the blueberry and very light syrup. I don't mind eating wafflles without syrup so this doesn't bother me. I also add a coulpe pieces of turkey bacon to that.

1/2 cup All Bran Cereal - with 2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds and skim milk - sometimes i'll add a chocolate protein powder to the bowl, to give it a chocolate milk taste in the cereal.

I'm boring....

1 scrambled egg
1 scrambled egg white
2 slices center cut bacon (crispy)
1/2 cup refried black beans

If feeling crazy, will add some avocado/guacamole and maybe throw in a dab of salsa.

Nothing tbh.

Coffee and a ciggie, and I'm good to go for the next 3-4 hours

I have to start my day with cereal. I've cut back on the sugary (yummy) cereals. So usually stick with plain Cheerios or Special K with red berries. And a few pieces of fruit. I like sweet breakfasts over savory like eggs etc.

My favorite breakfast is oatmeal - old fashioned oats with almond milk and berries or a chopped apple or now that it's fall 1/3 cup of pureed pumpkin. Yum! Alternatively, I'll make smoothies. Almond milk, fruit, flax, blackstrap molasses for iron and calcium. My favorite smoothie is a banana chai - frozen banana slices with almond milk, flax, a chai spice mix I keep in my tea cupboard, and a bit of blackstrap molasses.

I love breakfast and usually get stuck on one thing for a while, then change it up.

Good luck!

I have to eat breakfast or I'll get a migraine. But I don't want to take a lot of time making it.

I make my own hot chocolate from scratch: I have a huge 20 oz mug. I put in two heaping teaspoons of dry Hershey cocoa, put in some hot water from the hot water tap on our bottled water dispenser, and stir until smooth. Then I add skim milk and heat it in the microwave 2 to 2 1/2 minutes depending on whether I have time to sit and sip it hot or have to gulp it warm and run right out the door. I used to add a little splenda, but honestly, I've come to prefer it unsweetened. I don't get tired of things as easily if they aren't sweet, so I can have this every day.

It gets me a nice percentage of my protein for the day with very few calories -- the dry cocoa is basically all protein, too. And after drinnking 20 oz, I'm full. Very few dishes to clean up, too.

Whole eggs and fruit, tofu stirfry or just fruit. I'm not a breakfast person, so sometimes none.
