    I've been having a smoothie for breakfast every day for the last few weeks. It depends on what's in the fridge, but recently the basis has been: 1 banana, a good handful of fresh spinach, 1/4 of a pineapple, 1 kiwi, a slosh of low fat yoghurt, 1/2 avocado, and 2/3 cup of oatmeal.
    I sometimes put in frozen berries, carrot, mango, chopped almonds or cottage cheese. Or occasionally I add a raw egg if I feel I need the extra protein (like post-workout).
    Contrary to the belief of my housemates, they are always delicious and something to look forward to! I'm a little worried that it's a bit much sugar from all the fruit, so I've been cutting down on that a little, but other than that it seems to work and I feel great!

    a small egg cracked into an avocado half and baked for 10-12 minutes served with a grilled tomato half hollowed out and filled with sauteed kale or spinach - add half a tortilla cut into wedges and lightly toasted in a frying pan and this is my favorite breakfast! under 400 calories and I stay full all morning

    Holy moly this sounds AMAZING.

    Oatmeal is my #1 fave. I like to mix it with Nutella or Chocolate Peanut Butter JIF. Calories, schmalories, I can burn them off later. Chocolate is always a great way to start the day. Plus, nut butter adds to that stick-to-your-ribs feeling.

    Green or red monster Naked smoothies are great, if I am in a hurry at school or whatever. They have a lot of sugar, but it's not added, and they're only every once in a while.

    For something not-so-sweet, I like to make "lazy" chile relleno: scrambled eggs, but with chopped green chiles and monterey jack cheese. Also, preferably with diced seasoned red potatoes, if I'm feeling starchy.

    My go to breakfast is 1/2 cup of quick cook rolled oats, 2/3 cup of skim milk, one tablespoon of Natural Skippy peanut butter with honey, a chopped up banana and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon (for anti-inflammation) Mix it all together and nuke it for a couple of minutes.

    Tastes great, incredibly filling and less than 400 calories.

    I scramble two eggs with one slice American cheese and 1/2 cup of fresh asparagus. I season with Italian seasoning. I stay full, get a good amount of protein and it tastes amazing! This is my fave go to breakfast. I didn't have it this morning, so I will probably have it for dinner! LOL!!

    My favorite is 1/2 cup of egg beaters in a coffee cup with 1wedge of laughing cow cheese mixed in. Nuke in microwave for about a minute. It is creamy good and keeps me for several hours.

    I have to have protein in the morning or I'm hungry in a few hours. Egg cups (Hungry Girl) or greek yogurt and a Luna Bar.

    I loved reading through everyone's breakfast ideas- it will expand my morning choices! Here are my three typical breakfast choices:

    1. Oatmeal with peanut butter mixed in and some fruit (usually blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries)
    2. Stonyfield plain yogurt with peanut butter, some kind of preserve, peanuts, raspberries, and blackberries
    3. Cereal (usually some type of cheerios)

    I don't worry too much about the sugar. I think it should calculate sugar you get from fruits and veggies separately from refined sugar

    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).

    unless you have a medical issue with high sugar levels, i wouldn't stress your sugars as long as they're coming from fruits. I'm always over on my sugars because i have fruit smoothies and parfaits a lot.
