Fruit smoothie! It's full of carbs, vitamins and minerals = energy to start the day!
My favorite one is banana and strawberry with a little soy milk or water

I make a big pot of steel cut oats on Sunday and place leftovers in a bread loaf tin. During the week I just slice a serving, splash a bit of almond milk on it, and stick it in the microwave for a minute. When it comes out I stir in healthy add-ons. My favorites right now are cherries with a tablespoon of dark chocolate chips, or a combination of warmed apples, a tablespoon of real maple syrup, and tablespoon of pecans/walnuts (this one's a Jillian Michaels recipe). So good/quick and customizable. Even my kids love eating it before school. I don't like regular oatmeal but steel cut oats are amazing!

I have two "go to" breakfasts

One is steel cut oatmeal, I make 2 servings at a time (one for another day) - top with yogurt and/or fruit

My other favorite breakfast is an egg scrambled with any kind of veggies (zuccini, mushrooms, bellpeppers) topped with grated cheese and salsa.

I used to make a large batch of french toast, with whole grain bread, mostly egg whites and ff milk (add vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc., as desired), and then freeze them. Just pop them in the toaster when needed. I always liked them with all fruit style jelly or jam.

I have a couple different breakfasts:
I usually do eggs, 1 whole egg and 2 whites.
protein drink: 1 scoop whey protein & 1 cup non dairy almond milk (vanilla or chocolate)
egg muffin: 1 egg on a toasted english muffin

2 hard boiled eggs with hot sauce, and a piece of fruit.

I thought I was the only one who liked dark choc in her oatmeal!! I put a little of a homemade trail mix in my oatmeal...nuts, dried fruit & dark choc. Sooo yum!!

I eat steel cut oats and egg whites. Although, I do have to put butter and sugar in my oatmeal. Thats the only way I can eat it.

I also get up early and cannot stomach lots of eating that early. I drink a green smoothie most mornings on the way to work. I blend greens such as kale or spinach with some fruit, whatever sounds good and I have on hand. I add Greek yogurt and lately chia seeds have become my favorite. Fruit masks the taste of the greens and makes it nice and sweet. Sometimes I eat a hardboiled egg along with my smoothie to tie me over until lunch. Yes, using a blender early morning is sometimes problematic especially if you don't live alone. But, my kids have gotten used to it.

I have adapted a quinoa oatmeal bake substituting for the oatmeal because I have trouble digesting it. Here's the recipe:

Mix together dry ingredients:
1 cup quinoa flakes
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup Bob's 7 or 9-grain cereal (uncooked)
1/2 unsweetened coconut
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ginger
dash of allspice
1 tsp. sea salt

In separate bowl, mix together wet ingredients:
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/4 cup maple syrup (I use sugar-free)

Mix wet and dry ingredients and set aside.

In the bottom of a prepared baking dish (I use a 9" round casserole), place 2 cups chopped fruit of choice (I generally use two different fruits - apples, bananas, blueberries, peaches - whatever I have). Top with mixture. Over top, sprinkle 1 Tbl quinoa flakes and 1 Tbl coconut. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. I cut this into 6 servings (roughly 290 calories per serving). I usually make it on Sunday and have a piece every morning. I pour a little almond milk over it and heat it up in the microwave a little bit, but it's good cold, too. If you can eat oatmeal, use that instead of Bob's grain cereal.
