Hello, everyone! My name is Rose. How are you all today?

I get tired easily with my normal breakfasts, and I was wondering what were some breakfast meals that you enjoy? A recipe is welcomed. ^^

I have a few breakfast meals that I rotate, and I really would like to add more things.

If your interested in what I normally eat:

Salmon, miso soup, rice, and a side of vegetables/ White fish, vegetables, salads.

The normal egg, bacon, toast/ Egg, bacon, rice/ Boiled egg in soy sauce, rice/Boiled egg sandwich, side of salad. - I adore eating bacon and banana together. If bananas are not available, I will have some apple slices.

Egg in a nest with a salad.

Egg and rice soup - Sometimes I add chicken if I have the time or if on weekends.

Oatmeal.

I rarely eat cold cereal, but sometimes It's quite nice, and I will have some fruit with it because it never fills me up by itself.

Breakfast burritos, quesadillas or wraps with a salad.

On weekends, I sometimes make pancakes or french toast, but mainly stick to fish and very rarely beef with rice, vegetables and a salad.

Also, because I eat quite a few salads, the dressings get boring as well. Does anyone have a dressing worth trying? The same goes for vegetables-- I either have broccoli, asparagus, bok choy or spinach. I really need more greens to try. Thank you!

    I like making an egg scramble. I make it just like scrambled eggs, but I add a ton of veggies into it. It is so good and your are getting more of your veggies in.

    Thank you for the reply!

    . I did something like that today for breakfast. I made a vegetable omelete. It was quite good. I used some carrot, spinach, garlic and onion. I sadly did not have mushrooms on hand, and I forgot to add the broccoli.

    all that sounds pretty good actually!

    as for me, I usually take oatmeal in the morning but I do a different approach to it, I boil the oatmeal with half the water and add half almond milk, then I stir in protein powder and black berries until it thickens, once it is done cooking I let it cool down then add psyllium husk seeds to give it an extra fiber boost, then I usually add a packet or two of stevia.

    to me it tastes pretty good, but most importantly, it is low calorie but is very very filling, sometimes I cannot even finish 1 serving.

    I go ratios of 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 cup frozen fruit and 1/3 cup Uncle Sam's or 1/4 cup of Fiber One regular

    Breakfast is personally my favourite meal of the day, but I am very busy and don't like to cook anything huge in the morning. I used to have a Vega One shake every morning until I stumbled upon Shakeology. Have you ever tried either one?

    I'll toast a sandwich round, spread with a tablespoon of peanut butter and slice a banana on top...really good! I also use the sandwich rounds, spread some mayo and slice a hardboiled egg on each side, "drizzle" a little spicy mustard on top. Greek Yogurt is good, too...mixed with Kashi cereal and some PB2.

    Something that I like, and takes under 10 minutes to make (important for me, haha):

    Put one egg, however much salsa you like, and chopped up kale or spinach in a small ramekin.

    Mix it up well, making sure there is some egg on all the greens and the salsa is incorporated well.

    Meanwhile, toast an english muffin and butter it. I use a half tablespoon of real butter.

    When the egg patty is done, plop it on the muffin and BOOM! Deliciousness.

    My favorite english muffins are the honey wheat - I like a little bit of sweet, with Pace mild salsa.

    Greens, tomatoes, peppers, protein and carbs! Love it.

    Oooh--there are a lot of good sounding ideas!

    i'm a fan of the plain 2% Fage Greek yogurt with berries or other cut up fruit, some agave nectar and either granola or that Fiber One original. Yum and satisfying.

    Back in the day, I used to make these Weight Watchers Applesauce Muffins, which were really good and great for eating on the road. I think this is the recipe: http://www.momcentral.com/blogs/mom-central-food/weight-watchers-applesauce-oatmeal-muffins

    I also love making an open-faced breakfast sandwich:
    1 piece of toast (I use Alvarado St. Bakery California Style bread)
    1 wedge Laughing Cow Cream Cheese Spread
    a little Sriracha
    Sliced cucumber
    Sliced tomato
    Sliced onion
    1 Jennie-O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Patty scrambled with 2 egg whites

    I've never heard of them. I have plenty of time in the morning, so I like filling breakfasts--shakes never really seemed like an option. xD What do they taste like?

    Those both sound very delicious! I really want to try the open-faced breakfast sandwich. Thank you!
