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).

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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.
