Breakfast ideas

Oats, Chia Seeds and lindseel meal soaked overnight in almond milk with your sweetener of choice - yum (Overnight Oats)

I like Greek yogurt with trail mix or mixed into oatmeal. I don't understand the comment about the protein, its good to get a fair amount at every meal.

This week, I made asparagus baked eggs. You soften onion and asparagus, then layer them in muffin tins with tomato or picante, then crack an egg on top. I also add a tbs of liquid egg and a sprinkle of cheese on top. Baked in the oven, and it makes a perfect little portion. Its great with a slice of avocado or a small side of oatmeal or toast. I make them ahead of time and re-heat one each morning.

Other ideas:
scrambled eggs or egg substitute with avocado, oj
oatmeal with protein powder and a little peanut or other nut butter
banana or apple with peanut butter
pbj sandwich
hot cereal (ex: cream of wheat or malt-o-meal) cooked with soymilk
bean and cheese taco (or really, any breakfast taco)
cold cereal and banana
fruit and cheese

Banana oatmeal pancakes - I made them last night for pancake day (or it was in the UK!).

Really easy to make, stick all the ingredients in a blender then pour in to a hot frying pan - I used the 1 cal spray oil. This makes about 2 to 3:

1 banana
1 cup of oats (I used x2 of the microwave single serving sachets)
1/4 cup of baking soda
1 tsp of honey (or more to taste I guess)
1/2 tsp cinnamon (I used 1 full tsp cause I love cinnamon)
1/4 cup of almond milk (I am sure skimmed milk or fat free yoghurt would work just as well!)
1 egg

I suck at baking and I was able to make these pretty perfectly. I didnt include the honey in the actual mix when I made them as my partner is diabetic - I just poured it on top when the pancakes where cooked! Yummy and filling.

My typical breakfast:

1/4 large yellow onion, 1 oz jalapenos, 1 garlic clove - browned in frying pan
2 eggs scrambled with the veggies, seasoned with salt and pepper
2 pieces turkey bacon
1 apple or banana
and always coffee!!!!

That sounds amazing. Please come cook for me!!!

Protein pancakes:
(makes 3)

1/4 cup old fashioned oats
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
2 tbsp natural unsweetened applesauce
3 egg whites
cinnamon

Blend in food processor or blender and cook 3-4 minutes per side on a griddle heated to 275 degrees.

I usually batch cook for the week, and quadruple the recipe and add blueberries

For work days, I usually have a smoothie. Check out simplegreensmoothies.com for some ideas. Today's smoothie had banana, pineapple, strawberries, clementine, coconut milk, and spinach. I blended up enough last night for 3 smoothies (1 pint each). Non-work days is hoit or miss. Sometimes I just eat a bowl of cereal my kids asked for at the store but never eat. This weekend I ate Lucky Charms.

Agree with the comments people have about the protein ... not sure why you would be worried about the amount. I have yogurt almost every morning, and I don't get that much protein from them compared to meats and cheeses.

I usually mix greek yogurt and regular yogurt just so that it's not too thick or too runny. I usually use unflavored yogurt and add berries, honey and some of the coffee grounds that I grind for my morning coffee, plus top it with a serving of my favorite granola.

Lots of great breakfast ideas in this thread. But, I always include the whole egg in my food. The yolk is packed with nutrients. One egg is about 70 calories, so it's not that many calories and the yolk makes the meal more filling to me.

It's ok to go over your protein goals. In fact, MFP always has it set too low. It's a goal to meet, not a limit! Nothing bad has ever happened to anyone from eating lots of protein, I promise. Go ahead and have as much protein as you want.
