Breakfasts that aren't eggs or leftovers

I am getting bored with fried eggs every day and we don't have leftovers. Is there something simple I can make for the week?

On days I can't face the thought of another round of eggs or have no leftovers (I try to make sure there are some) I often have something simple like canned tuna mixed up with some avocado, jalapeno etc or a can of sardines, maybe a green salad with olives, feta etc. I usually have to make myself eat something given that breakfast is at 5:45am and I'm barely with it! Food at that hour is purely functional.
Plenty of ideas here too: http://chowstalker.com/?bwbps_extnav_gal=29&bwbps_q=breakfast0 -
Are you more primal or paleo? I eat dairy so I have 100g of plain greek yogurt with 3tbsp roasted golden flax and 28g raspberries or blackberries. I also add stevia.0

Made a batch of pumpkin muffins and eat two for breakfast each morning. Made with almond flour. For variety sub pumpkin w/ banana and applesauce. When rushing I. The am before work then its a banana with a spoonful of almond butter. Go get you the primal blueprint cookbook "quick and easy meals " or go to paleoplan.com for ideas. That's where we got the muffin recipe.0

Smoothies but made with coconut or almond milk instead of cows :O) Add banana, berries and egg... very filling

Chilli.
Buy ground meat or grind your own and add a crapton of assorted veggies and spices for bulk and flavour. Goes great as nachos, on rice or just on it's own.0 -
Paleo OMG one of my favorite websites for recipes... they have a breakfast section, just read one today Breakfast bacon and maple meatballs sounded good (make ahead and pull out for breakfast) http://paleomg.com/breakfast-bacon-maple-meatballs/
so many other choices....0 -
Bulletproof coffee!!!! I thought it sounded gross (it's basically coffee blended with unsalted butter and coconut oil) but thought I'd give it a try.....WOW! I'm hooked! Not only is it the most frothy, satisfying cup of coffee I've ever had, but it keeps me full and energized until lunch. I make mine as follows:
16 oz. organic coffee
2 Tblsp. Coconut Oil
1Tblsp. Ghee
and sometimes I add a tsp. of raw honey or a packet of stevia...
Blend in blender .... enjoy!
I can't wait to wake up and have a cup!0 -
almond flour pancakes with Maple syrup....mmm.
I agreem OMGPaleo is a really good website, all the reciepies I have tried have turned out well and my non paleo friends have eaten them too and loved them.0 -
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I am doing more of a whole30 type of paleo right now (no sweeteners at all and no baked goods) I made an egg fritatta for the week and froze a bunch so I guess that's a little different than fried eggs lol. I miss my oatmeal!!0

Yummy! I love chili 0 -
I do an egg casserole/bake/frittata every weekend. I make it with a different meat/veggies each week and haven't gotten bored yet! I usually eat it at work and all my co-workers are jealous when I heat it up 0

Today I had an avocado and farmers cheese for breakfast.0

Well, not breakfast specifically, but This weekend I made pulled pork for the first time and it was super easy! I got a 9-10 pork shoulder and doubled the spice rub, I also added a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Yesterday I had it over sauteed swisschard for breakfast and I was happy and full for 5-6 hrs

Just found this recipie for granola it looks good....http://www.paleocupboard.com/granola.html0

I threw some sausage, kelp, mushrooms, goat cheese, tomatoes, in a pan to heat up. Then added a side of bacon.
It turned out great.0 -
you may want to search teh archives too, I am recalling a similar thread a few weeks ago... another suggestion was to cut an avocado in half and crack an egg in to the middle and bake until the egg is cooked to your liking... I remember thinking I wanted to try it, but I haven't gotten around to it.0

I've done like a sweet egg pancake type deal before. Mash 1/2- a full banana with 2 eggs and cinnamon. Cook it in an omelet sized pan for maybe ~3 min per size. Then top it with some nut butter!
Also extra eggy zucchini fritters are really good.0 -
Usually smoothies with almond milk if I don't feel like eggs0

Lots of great ideas at Balanced Bites - Pumkin Souffle, Zuccini Pancakes - etc

I use Paleo Plan website. One of my favorite non-egg breakfast is the Green Smoothie (kale, ginger, apple, pear, lemon juice).0

I'm with Jen 100% ..
I tried it once and have not looked back .. I have Bulletproof coffee every morning and I feel amazing until about 15 mins before lunch .. it's is filling and gives me crazy energy .. but not that "jittery-I've-had-a-hundred-cups-of-coffee-energy !"
I can't think of starting my morning without it now !! ( I use 2 TBLS MCT / Coconut Oil & 2 TBLS of Unsalted Grass fed butter , Whip in magic bullet and YUMMM!!)
Try it .. You'll LOVE it !!0 -
I haven't gotten to the bulletproof stage yet, but i do have coffee with coconut oil in the mornings and agree that it keeps me full for hours!
and full-fat plain greek yogurt with a little mango or strawberry... it's like dessert for breakfast 0 -

haha, so perfect, i made a quick chili for dinner last night to have as "nachos" and had the rest for breakfast!
i LOVE spicy chili for breakfast.0 -
I'm with you. I reall, really miss my oatmeal and get tired of eggs every morning. I can only eat bacon so often and the high fat meats are bothering my IBS. This morning it was scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, spinach, cherry tomatoes and cream cheese. My go-to am-in-a-hurry-and-sick-of-eggs breakfast is a smoothie of coconut milk, frozen strawberries, kale and/or spinach, coconut (fresh or unsweetened), protein powder (not sure that's paleo though) or an egg if you're brave, and 1/4 avocado for creaminess. I vary the fruit. Just enough to sweeten but not too much so you keep the carbs/fructose low.0

Ground chicken flavored like sausage. I cook all of them up on Sunday and microwave them for 1.5 minutes in the am with a side berries.0

I've had a hard time finding portable things for breakfast until this weekend. Just found this recipe. Had a couple of sausage balls with a hard boiled egg (you could leave this off) on the drive in and GLORY it was wonderful!

I'm just recently getting into Paleo, but besides eggs I've made these pancakes:
2 eggs
Extra Egg Whites, if desired
1 banana
dash of vanilla
dash of cinnamon
1 TBS ground flax seed
handful of walnuts (optional)
handful of berries (optional)
Combine in a blender and cook on a hot griddle. I also add some pure maple syrup on top....0 -
I really like coconut milk/fruit smoothie. I add a bunch of strawberries and a banana and you can also add kale or spinach. Also, Applegate Chicken and Apple sausages I saute up with some onions and mushrooms (IF you have time in the AM) .. Also, Banana, a handful of almonds and some cut up veggies if you are in a rush and eating in the car 0

Set mealtimes are a product of the Industrial Revolution.
What we eat at each meal are cultural habits, taught to us while we are young.
You can eat anything you desire at any meal: eggs at dinner, salmon at breakfast, etc. Doesn't have to bee eggs or leftovers. Any meat, vegetable or fruit that you can eat at lunch or dinner is all fair game at breakfast.0 -
Frozen 100% ground beef patties. They are quick and easy to make....plus you can get them conventional or make your own from pastured beef...just form the paties and put a piece of wax paper inbetween each patty.0
