I need breakfast ideas

I have low fat cottage cheese and fruit when I'm tired of eggs.

heat up mashed banana with coconut milk (or normal, i'm dairy free) add raspberries, a little ground almonds, or whatever you fancy adding

cottage cheese
cereal with almond milk
omelette that i make the night before
mixed fruit, all fresh
english muffin with peanut butter

All of those are a few of the things I have for breakfast.

May sound weird or unappetizing... I'm not crazy about "normal" breakfast foods, but I still want to eat something in the morning. I often have a slice of wheat bread, toasted, with lowfat cheese and sliced tomato. This morning I had 1/2 c. high protein pasta with homemade spaghetti sauce. Basically, I'm saying if you're willing, throw in non-traditional breakfast choices. Leftovers work fine for me and I'd rather eat 2 lunches

I like non breakfast type foods in the morning. This morning I had very thin whole wheat pepperige farm bread with mashed avocado, low sodium turkey, tomatoes, and mustard. Yesterday it was a slice of thin cheese pizza and some grapes.

I know you said you are tired of oatmeal, but I found a recipe on Pinterest that is for refridgerated overnight oatmeal. It is really good and you can add different kinds of fruit and sweeteners to it for different flavors. I have posted the website below where all different recipes are. Hope you like!

If you scroll down a little on the webpage you will see where you can click on the different recipes. I eat these every morning at work and they keep me full until lunch and they are high in protein and fiber and low in fat :happy:

I have 1 or 2 squares of dark chocolate (.25 - .5 serving)
A cup or 2 of coffee
A smoothie:

6 oz Lifeway Plain Kefir (fermented milk with 12 different live cultures)
1 serving Greek Yogurt (I use Chobani because it has 5 live cultures, 2 of which overlap with the kefir)
And then frozen fruit, 2 servings or a little less.
I used to put bee pollen granules in it, but I use those in my protein shake now instead. They go together better.

I usually use mostly blueberries, but I often use citrus (different types of oranges. I used to add a quarter lemon, but it is to tart now with the yogurt and kefir). I will usually put 2 large strawberries or 3 small with my blueberries. I will sometimes us blackberries. Raspberries I am conservative with because the frozen ones are usually very tart. I will cut up mangos, melons, kiwis or whatever as well. I add a banana if they are getting to ripe and I don't want them going bad. I used to use a banana as my base fruit, and add whatever else I wanted.

To prep the fruit without it sticking together I will:

1- Put my cut fruit on a tray or plate and cover.
2- Freeze individually.
3-Remove from tray/plate after frozen.
4-Put in a zip lock bag. Then back in the freezer.

During strawberry picking season, I will go to the fields and pick only strawberries that will be bad tomorrow, take them home and prep them right away. I usually eat a bunch! These make the most insanely delicious smoothies!

If you live in the Northwest, all the way from the Pacific to western Montana, huckleberries are awesome (and wild blueberries) and they are both PLENTIFUL!!! I am gonna miss huckleberry picking. I always mix the blueberries I find out there when huckleberry picking. I live in Ohio now, so no huckleberries… :-(

Someone mentioned using cored, peeled apples… I like the idea. Not sure if that would be to dense frozen, but my curiosity is peeked!

I made an avocado smoothie with ginger and hemp milk a couple weeks ago and it was really yummy as well...

I have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every morning. I use 2 slices of Roman Meal whole wheat bread (120 cals), 1 tbsp of natural creamy peanut butter from Trader Joe's (95 cals) and 1 tbsp of blackberry preserves from Trader Joe's (50 cals) for a total of 265 cals. It keeps me satisfied until lunch. If I need a little extra protein, I add a hard boiled egg (whole or just the white), or I will have a piece of fruit (necatrine, strawberries, cantaloupe, etc...) an hour or so after. :happy:

I make a huge batch on the weekends then have 3 or 4 for breakfast during the week

Oatmeal pancakes

6 egg whites
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup oatmeal
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon

Put all in blender and process until smooth. Makes about 8 pancakes, using 1/4 cup of batter per pancake

Good God that sounds good!

I'm also a fan of the old "overnight porridge". I haven't looked at the site above, but I add porridge oats to some freshly squeezed orange juice and a grated apple and mix in a bit of yoghurt. I make enough for 2-3 days so I don't have to be preparing every day. It makes a nice change.

Sometimes I make a frittata and bring a slice to work with me. Can be eaten hot or cold, and is also a good way of getting extra vegetables into you. I usually make mine mushroom, but really you can use any vegetables.
