Breakfast!

Whats your favorite easy (and healthy of course) breakfast? Something that keeps you going until lunch.

Work days it's a fairly simple organic muesli and organic yoghurt with an apple, pear or orange. For days that I'm doing a long ride I'll go for three slices of wholemeal toast with mashed banana laced with honey, and a couple of pieces of fruit.

On the weekends, I love scrambled eggs with one piece of toast and some kind of fruit. I'll probably still eat before lunch, but that keeps me the fullest. Mon-Fri I have to be out of the house by 6 am, and prior to that, I have to get ready for work, get my daughter up, get her changed and dressed, pack my lunch, take care of any chores from the night before, and see if I can squeeze in some push ups and step ups. So I don't make or eat breakfast at home. My go to breakfast during the week is a frozen flatbread egg and ham sandwich.

Ful medames (also spelled other ways) is one I used to have a lot and I'm going to start bringing it back into rotation. It's a fava bean dip, sort of. You puree the beans with some olive oil, spices, garlic, onion...and you scoop it with pita bread.

I think it's origins are Egyptian, but just about every Middle Eastern country/culture/family has their own variation.

Great with other mezze like tomato cucumber salad, lebane, hummus, babaganouj...

Egg salad. I boil 2 eggs while I get ready in the morning and then mix them with mayo I keep at work so I eat when I get here.

I typically eat toast with peanut butter or some days I will have 1 egg with some toast. Some days I will have a bowl of cereal. It just depends on my mood.

This morning I had a big bowl of melon and a whole grain english muffin with peanut butter and even though I went for a run after I'm not hungry yet although it's past time for my 2nd breakfast.

Another Overnight Oats recipe, this one using steel cut oats:

Combine steel cut oats and water in ratio per package (I think 1 cup oats 3 cups water) and bring to a boil. Turn the burner off and let sit over night. In the morning you can either re-heat in the same pan or what I usually do it portion is portion it out into 4 separate servings, top with whatever goodies I'm feeling (cinnamon, rainis, nuts, brown sugar or maple syrup), and reheat in microwave right quick. Then you have breakfast for almost the whole week!

Oatmeal cooked in almond milk. I will never tire of it.

Same here... I like to banana and/or blue berries and cinnamon to mine
