    My favorite breakfast is a Special K protein shake plus a banana.

    I do a romaine lettuce wrap, usually with sirloin, honey mustard, and pickle relish. There's no law saying you have to confine yourself to standard breakfast-type* foods :)
    *standard in the U.S. and most parts of Europe, Australia, etc. -- many countries and cultures have quite different ideas of what a standard breakfast food is!

    Who said it has to be breakfast food for breakfast? Regardless...I have either a Slimfast shake or a Slimfast bar in the morning.

    oatmeal + almond butter + dash cinnamon

    if you go the greek yogurt route, be sure to look for 2% - 100000000x better for you than "fat free" crap

    Savory Goodness!
    Sautéed Spinach & Beans

    2 cups frozen chopped spinach in medium pot, add 2 Tbsp water. Boil. (ETA: then turn down heat and simmer)
    When spinach is warmed and wilted, add: 3/4 cup (homemade) beans, 1 slice onion - chopped. Heat through. Let water boil off.
    Before serving, add 2 Tbsp parmesan cheese.

    Sometimes I add sliced mushrooms. My homemade beans have lots of spices and garlic. This breakfast is very satisfying. This takes the same amount of time as cooking oatmeal. Sometimes I use less beans and add an egg on top! ;) Bon Appétit! ????

    If no body has mentioned this yet...add a tablespoon ( or half that) of peanut butter to your oatmeal when it's hot and mix it in. Or smear some peanut butter on your pancakes.

    I regularly make pancakes...1 egg, 2 tbsp flax meal, 1 tbsp coconut flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda and a little water or milk to thin a bit. Add whatever spices and fruit you want (I regularly do frozen berries and allspice, but apples or nectarines and cinnamon is also very good). Makes one serving of 3 small pancakes (easier to turn). I put about 1 tbsp of maple syrup in dish and dip (rather than pour over) to avoid using too much. I quite often do this around 8am and find that I'm not hungry again until 1 or 2.

    You can eat anything you'd eat at any other time of day. I've had leftover dinner for breakfast a lot of times.

    Oatmeal for sure. Some nut butter (pb, almond, etc.) and some milk makes it tasty and filling. Cinnamon is must, imo. If you're more of a savory breakfast type, try spices and mushrooms, or turkey bacon crumbles (or nutritional yeast if you have some).

    I personally find protein powder in my oatmeal disgusting. I've tried a lot of different types and it all just makes the taste weeeeird.

    Alternatively, try cooking another (pseudo) grain into a porridge overnight in a crockpot (we've done barley, quinoa, wheat groats and semolina) to prevent the "dear God not oatmeal again" feeling.

    breakfast food doesnt need to be anything in particular.. just dont eat something that you know makes you lethargic... stop conforming to societal norms and have something you want

    Did you know that you can actually put the egg (or egg whites) into your oatmeal as it finishes cooking? The heat cooks the egg and since it is all mixed in with the oatmeal, you don't even taste it and it doesn't really change the texture of the oatmeal. I have tried a smaller version of this recipe for pumpkin spice oatmeal with egg whites mixed in several times and I loved it. Here is the link to the recipe: http://www.thegraciouspantry.com/clean-eating-pumpkin-pie-oatmeal/
    The others' suggestions were great too, but I just thought if you wanted a way to still include eggs in your breakfast diet, this was a great fix for you since you like oatmeal!

    I like a whole wheat english muffin with cream cheese and turkey bacon. Turkey sausage is amazing. I think it tastes just like pork sausage. I always try to eat a cup of fruit with my breakfast to help fill me up. Oats with berries and honey. Oats with almonds. Sometimes I do a smoothie but too much yogurt taste kind of makes me gag. I agree that egg beaters have a different taste than eggs.

    Cliff Bar or Power Bar every weekday for me. Hard to beat the convenience factor. I buy them when they're on sale, or in bulk.

    My go-to breakfast foods are oatmeal w/ frozen fruit (add while it's piping hot & they defrost, leaking yummy juices into the oats) or high-protein granola w/ yogurt (& sometimes fruit or honey). Yum!

    I make a breakfast burrito with tofu, black beans, cheddar, red peppers, tomato, salsa and chili powder. I make the filling on Sunday, then in the mornings, I just scoop some on a whole wheat tortilla and pop it under the broiler for a couple of minutes.

    I also like to have smoothies made with whey protein isolate, almond milk, and frozen fruit. If you prefer fresh fruit, you can add some ice or a banana to thicken it up.

    Oatmeal with walnuts and raw apple. That's my go to. Lacking in protein a bit though but keeps you energized.

    On the topic of eggs, for the longest time I couldn't stomach them either. At all. The smell just... ick. But lately if I just use egg whites it seems more tolerable. With a TON OF SPICES. Just parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, pepper, what ever. Seems to help. Just an idea that's worked for me.
