Easy breakfast that sticks with you?

sunshyncatra

What is your favorite quick breakfast that keeps you full into the morning?

Mine current favorite is oatmeal with banana and egg. Mix 1/2 cup plain oatmeal (I use quick cut oats) with water, 1/2 a banana and one egg. Zap in the microwave for around 90 seconds. Stir to mix the banana into the oatmeal and enjoy! You can't even taste the egg. I don't need a snack for hours after this treat!

I've been rotating between:

Green smoothie (kale/cucumber/celery/parsley/carrot) and slice of sourdough toast w/Brummel and Brown spread
or,
a bowl of Fiber One Cereal (original version) w/1/2 cup almond milk, 1/2 banana, 1 tsp golden raisins and a Dannon Greek Yogurt

Both have been keeping me pretty satisfied for several hrs til lunch time.

I either have a pre-made protein shake or make a protein smoothie. Gives me lots of protein first thing in the morning which stays with me until lunch. ~

Those all look tasty...but don't they give you too much sugar? I'm having the HARDEST time keeping my sugar down, and I don't even eat a ton...mostly fruits and such.

I've been going with broccoli (at least a cup), onions and peppers...scramble in an egg and a tablespoon of shredded cheddar, serve it up with half a slice of whole wheat or one Kashi whole wheat waffle (no butter or syrup--oh, how I miss butter).

Usually I have a scrambled egg and half a cup of black boiled beans with mint tea; or a bowl of corn flakes and skimmed milk

twentyco

Greek yogurt mixed with a serving (1/2 cup) of grape nuts cereal. Keeps me going for several hours.

A lot of the time I don't even eat breakfast foods anymore (when I have a chance to eat breakfast lol I've been somewhat busy lately.) However, when I do eat breakfast foods at breakfast time I like egg whites, bacon, cheese, raw spinach, and a glob of mayo. I know it sounds gross, but it usually sticks with me till late lunch time (like 3-4pm.) Then again, I always eat a ton of bacon (pork side) and that could be why.

I second oatmeal! I use the flavored packets, add a couple tablespoons of oatmeal, a splash of craisins, a sprinkle of cinnamon and sometimes a Splenda packet (because I have a mean sweet tooth). I use it for lunch sometimes too, especially if I know I have a high calorie dinner planned or something. It's super filling, tasty, and fast!!

My favorite filling breakfast is 1 egg (or 2 egg whites), avocado, fresh salsa on a spinach wrap. Sometimes I'll add cheese or sour cream. Or skip the wrap and add an extra egg.

gonnamakeanewaccount

Six ounces of plain or vanilla Greek yogurt, two tablespoons of peanut butter, and half of a tablespoon of honey all mixed together with banana slices on top.

I love oatmeal and eat it almost every day...but, my new favorite breakfast is French toast made with egg whites, 2 slices of whole grain bread, half a sliced banana and simply fruit...yummy!!!! And very filling!

twinketta

scrambled egg on toast with butter, does it for me every morning

WannaDizzolve

A handful of almonds, string cheese, and a banana. Or half an Odwalla protein smoothie. With coffee. Always vitamins. I am not a morning eater...

neacail

One serving of quick oats made with water, with a mini box of raisins cooked into it. I add a scoop (25g) of Promisil Soft Serve Vanilla protein powder after it is cooked. It isn't super yummy, but it is perfectly edible and very satisfying.

I'm not a diabetic, so I don't watch the sugar total when it comes to natural sugar in fruits and veggies. I just try to avoid added or refined sugar.

1/2 cup egg sub, 2 oz baby spinach, 1/2 baby bellas all cooked together topped with 2 tablespoons of pace salsa and 1 tablespoon greek non fat yogurt plain, 1 cup of diced pineapple and a cup of chamomile and mint tea (no sugar). Super Yummy , relatively low in calories and filling.

I like to mix things up for breakfast...but one of my current favorites is my "1-2-3-4 breakfast". Silly name, I know, but makes it easy for me. 1 whole egg, 2 egg whites, 3 ounces of seasoned cooked lean ground turkey, 4 tablespoons of salsa.

I cook the whole package of ground turkey at once - season it up however I want - and put it in a container in the fridge. When I get ready for breakfast, I just take out 3 ounces and heat in a small skillet with the salsa, mix in the eggs...scramble it all up and enjoy! Sometimes I'll toast a Thomas wheat mini bagel for another 100 calories, but sometimes I just have it alone. Around 260 calories.

I eat this almost every morning before work and it sticks with me EASILY til afternoon:
2 whole eggs, 1/3 cup egg whites, 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach, 1 or 2 chopped baby portabella mushrooms, 1 TBL or so chopped shallot, salt & pepper. Scramble these together and top with 1 TBL of grated asiago, romano or parmesan. Tastes delicious, has over 30g of protein and about 250 calories! (this feels "easy" to me; it takes about 10 minutes to prepare)

Orowheat double fiber English muffin- I make a breakfast sandwich with 1/2 cup eggbeaters cooked with spinach (you can cook egg and spinach patties in advance and freeze them) and a slice of low fat cheese.

I make "refrigerator oatmeal" aka overnight oats or swiss muesli - 1/3 cup greek yogurt, 1/3 cup milk, 1/3 cup oats and around 100 g frozen berries - I use a bit of honey or jam to sweeten it, plus some vanilla or almond extract. I occassionally add a few nuts or seeds or craisins or sub in Dorset Muesli for the oats. You can make it the night before and eat it in the morning. I tend to make it in the morning and carry it to work to eat at my desk. Here's a link to different flavour combinations.

It tastes like dessert and keeps me full until lunch.

Rolled oats and a banana boiled in sugar free almond milk. After boiling, I top the dish with a few blueberries and cinnamon. It takes 5 minutes to cook on the stove, and it's fresh and warm. No need for milk with sugar as the sugar from the banana gives plenty of flavor to the meal.
