I need some quick breakfast ideas….I'm in a rut and could use some suggestions. I LOVE hard boiled eggs, but not really scrambled eggs. I'm OK with 'non-traditional' breakfast ideas too!

Thanks for any and all suggestions! :)

    I love oatmeal with 4oz of strawberries in them as well as 2tsp of peanut butter! Also, a protein shake is good as well! If you don't like your eggs scrambled, I'd make them hard boiled and eat them or sunny side up and put them on an english muffin!

    I love a yogurt parfait. Its a little high in sugar but I just try to limit my sugar the rest the day.
    I mix vanilla yogurt with cut up strawberries & blueberries (or whatever fruit you have on hand or like, ex: bananas, kiwi, grapes - all good) and then sprinkle a little bit of granola on top.
    So delicious!

    Mini omelettes - use mini muffin pans - variations are endless - I like a little onion, green pepper, turkey sausage. You can make a batch on Sunday and pop them in the microwave throughout the week for a super quick yummy breakfast.

    I make smoothies here lately. yesterday I had cooked cereal and was hungry an hour later. But the smoothies keep me satisfied for about four hours.

    I'm in a French toast oatmeal kick.... just instant oats, milk, vanilla extract and one egg in the microwave for 3 minutes, then add maple syrup. SO GOOD.

    Otherwise I like frittatas, protein pancakes, French toast, ricotta with jello powder and milk, Greek yogurt and breakfast biscuits, or leftovers.

    I eat at work so my breakfasts have to be cold or microwavable. My mainstay is just a couple of eggs with a piece of canadian bacon chopped up and an ounce or less of cheese....cooked in microwave.

    I make refrigerator oatmeal which is 1/2 c equal parts rolled oats, milk and vanilla greek yogurt. Then add whatever fruit you like and spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, honey and agave nectar are what I rotate using. Put in fridge at least overnight.

    I also make little mini egg quiches you could call them. Just put whatever fixin's you like in cupcake tin and then pour in some eggs top with cheese and bake. It's a nice make ahead for several days of breakfasts.

    Could you tell me what you put in your smoothies? I like the idea because I can take them with me and drink on the way to work, but they don't seem to fill me up

    Add some protein to your smoothies, like protein powder, greek yoghurt or nut butter.

    I've been loving breakfast wraps. I use a garlic & herb wrap, two egg whites with some dried salsa seasoning (Tastefully Simple), laughing cow wedge and a slice of low fat cheese. I love cheesiness, the calories aren't too shabby and it keeps me full for a while.

    I make my own packages of oatmeal. My go to is oats, cinnamon, splenda, walnuts, and I add 1/3 of a banana. I also cook egg whites in the microwave. One of my favs is overnight oats. 1/3 C oats, 1/3 C yogurt, 1/2 Tbsp chai seeds, cinnamon, splenda, cocoa powder or sugar free pudding mix, and 1/3 C almond milk. In the morning I add pb and banana.

    I don't really watch the show but saw an episode of The Biggest Loser that had a recipe for Veggie Frittata with Turkey Bacon. I've been making these every other week. I eat 2 frittata muffins almost every day for breakfast. I really like them and it's easy to prepare at home or in the office.

    One boiled egg and chia pudding = today's breakfast

    Chia pudding recipe:

    Chia seeds, 2 tablespoons
    3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

    Add chia seeds to almond milk and stir for 2-3 mins. The seeds start to absorb almond milk. When it starts to thicken, cover and refrigerate.

    Next morning, it gets the texture of tapioca pudding. Add sliced banana and some crushed pecans....or blueberries, or raisins....perhaps some honey....chopped dates.....the possibilities are endless. This morning I added sliced clementines.

    Enjoy!

    That french toast oatmeal sounds interesting! I will have to try it.
    For a morning that you have a little more time, I'm HUGE into veggie hash with poached eggs. Rough chop potatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and honestly whatever veggies you have on hand (asparagus, zucchini, cauliflower, etc.), add in whatever seasoning/herbs you like (we either use Herbs de Provence or Chili Powder & Cumin) and cook over medium high heat in a cast iron skillet. When that's almost done, poach eggs. Dish the hash and serve the eggs over top... mmmm....
