Breakfast Ideas?

FitBlackChick

I'm running out of them :sad: All I can come up with are the basics- fruit, oatmeal, eggs and sometimes english muffins. Does anyone have any interesting ideas please?

Special K Protein is good.

Leftover steak...or 3 day old chili

Cold pizza and warm beer! Oh, wait. That was the old life style talking. Nope, nothing from the new life style. I do the same old 3 over and over: cottage cheese and canned fruit, greek yogurt and fresh fruit, or a Jimmy Dean Delights sandwich.

try ham and 1 ounce fat free cream cheese mixed with a tablespoon of sugar free strawberry jam spread on a whole wheat tortilla and roll it up burrito-style.

I also like to make breakfast burritos with egg and turkey sausage patty in whole wheat tortilla

Smoothies! My favorites:

1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 3/4 smushy banana, 1 cup almond milk, 1 tbs peanut butter, and a few ice cubes blended together

1 scoop vanilla powder, 3/4 cup fat free greek yogurt, a handful of strawberries, a medium banana, almond milk, ice cubes

Instead of just eggs, try some green pepper, onion, and cut up pieces of ham, sautee in a pan and make an omelette. Add cheese if you desire.

Those all sound like delicious things to eat for breakfast.

I like eat
Greek yogurt, fruit and granola;
oatmeal with brown sugar and raisins;
eggs with vegetables; or
cream of wheat with fruit
all the time

I saute onions, green pepper and baby spinach and then add my eggs to that. Other times, I just put about 1 oz. of cheddar (full fat) in a non-stick frying pan and add my eggs to that. Sometimes I have cottage cheese and organic blue potato chips or sweet potato chips. About once every couple of months, I get daring and have old fashioned bacon and eggs (eggs sunny side up and basted in bacon grease).

Sometimes I use the GNC Lean Shake. Sometimes I will snack on one cup of dry cheerios. I also like to scramble 2 eggs with one teaspoon of butter and four pieces of turkey bacon. Greek Yogurt is a good choice as well.

Chia oatmeal or fried eggs with toast.

Turkey bacon egg cups! Preheat oven to 400, cook bacon in a skillet until halfway done, press bacon into muffin tin cups coated with cooking spray (you can let it cool for a few minutes, or do sweet two-fork maneuvers like I did), bake 5 minutes until crisp, crack an egg into each cup, sprinkle with salt + pepper, bake. I baked them about 15 minutes, but you might like them runnier, plus they'll need to be re-heated, so it might be better to cook them less time so they don't dry out when you microwave them.

If you want "breakfast" foods, some other traditional options include: fritata; eggs baked or poached in a spicy tomato sauce; kedgeree; baked beans, vegetable hash, eggy rice, breakfast lentils, yoghurt and smoothies.

But really, you can have any healthy food for breakfast. Last night's dinner left-overs will do.

Breakfast is my favourite meal!! I cook breakfast for a large number of people at work here are some of my favourites:

Mini frittatas- You can put anything in them, just mix up some egg, veggies and spice bake in a mini muffin tray with mini cupcake liners. You can freeze them for later, or eat a bunch for breakfast

Oatmeal- I add some fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries) or frozen ones heated up a bit. Add some coconut, cinnamon, hemp and chia seeds and a little bit of milk. Delicious!

Hashbrowns- Usually done the night before I'll chop up some potatoes, season and bake at 350 for about 30-40 minutes, stiring once. I then put them in the fridge till the morning and pan fry with a bit of olive oil

Yogurt and homemade granola- Take some oats, honey and a bit of oil and mix! Put in oven for 350 for 20 minutes, stir once half way through. Then you can add whatever mix you want to it (coconut, cranberries, nuts). Get some yogurt and top with the granola!

Breakfast burritos- Scrambled eggs, bacon, peppers, onion, seasonings, salsa. Put into a wrap and serve

The possibilities are unless but these are a few of my faves

I generally switch between two.. I know they are pretty boring but I work very early and don't have much time in the morning so these are easy but satiating until my morning coffee break.

vanilla protein shake (sometimes I add a banana or peanut butter)

or an enormous bowl of raisin bran. I would eat raisin bran all day if it wasn't a binge trigger for me nomnomnom

And my giant cup o joe of course!

Anything can be breakfast food.

I've even eaten salad for breakfast..

I like to mix avocado with a hard boiled egg and put it on lettuce then I put some of my homemade strawberry jam on whole grain toast with a big glass of water and walk to work where I have coffee. (this is my go to breakfast)

I also do the shake thing, (greek yogurt, fruit of choice, honey, little milk, flax seed)
done fruit salad. Leftover dinner. My moms favorite breakfast is baked chicken.

Pancakes, waffles, cereal oatmeal. biscuits and gravy.

2 eggs, ham, cheese slice, on a bagel or wrap or pita.

cut up leftover potatoes and throw them in a frying pan with some butter. add onion and peppers and some cut up leftover meat. or bacon! I would add more veggies but that's the traditional ingredients (per my uncle)

Jimmy Dean Delights breakfast sandwiches if you're on the go.
A yogurt, some fruit and an English muffin with light butter.
A yogurt, granola bar and fruit.
Basic scrambled eggs (yes the whole damn egg) in cooking spray with some ketchup or sriracha sauce to dip in.

I always make it a point to have protein at breakfast. Keeps me going until lunchtime.
