I thought it'd be a fun idea to post what we're having for breakfast, especially to see each others' healthy/not-so-healthy breakfasts

This morning i had 2 egg whites with chopped & cooked onion, red bell pepper, and white mushroom; seasoned with oregano, tabasco sauce, and ground black pepper!
i also had a plum and some black pekoe tea!

    1 cup of mixed fresh fruit (pineapple, cantaloupe, mango, grapes
    2 cups of black coffee
    1 banana if I'm hungry after the fruit bowl.

    For a while I was eating pre-made frittatas that I whipped up one Sunday afternoon. I'm not very hungry this morning because I'm a little hungover from a late brunch yesterday (yikes).

    I had 1 cup of coffee with light cream and sugar, a bowl of 3/4 c quick oats, with 1 Tbsp brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. I used to put a lot more sweetener in both, but have already cut it back by half. I will keep whittling it down until it is half as much again...

    I had 2 eggs scrambled with fresh sausage and spinach. I also had a buttered mini cinnamon raisin bagel with a cup of coffee that had Dark Chocolate Sensations hot chocolate mix in it.

    Very shortly after that, I drank a smoothie made with Peach Mango V-8 fusions, spinach, peaches, strawberries, and vanilla Greek yogurt.

    I eat a lot for breakfast, but I also swam this morning.

    I'm on a smoothie kick since I got my Ninja blender. This morning:

    1 frozen banana
    handful of strawberries
    handful of blueberries
    1 scoop Vega powder (berry today)
    1 cup almond milk
    1 tbsp shredded coconut

    I had been putting spinach and/or beets in them as well but just ran out of both.

    ive tried enjoying smoothies as meals but i just feel like i'm having something to drink. i know it's considered an actual meal but with something so liquid-y i always want something solid! :P

    I stumbled across this on tumblr and now it's one of my faves. I leave it in for a couple minutes though, but I think that's just my oven running a little cold.

    1/2 of a sun-dried tomato bagel
    3 slices of deli ham
    1 egg, microwaved for 30 seconds

    The egg ended up only covering half of my half a bagel, so I only ate a quarter of the bagel. There was supposed to be some cheese on this open faced breakfast sandwich, but loving SO forgot it on his grocery quest this weekend.

    I don't do photos or I'd have posted one, but I had an egg taco with veggie bacon and green tomato relish on it, and my standard cup of coffee with almond milk. Very tasty breakfast under 200 cal.

    For a while I was eating pre-made frittatas that I whipped up one Sunday afternoon. I'm not very hungry this morning because I'm a little hungover from a late brunch yesterday (yikes).

    ive never even heard of frittatas! haha. i'm gonna look that up. and wow, doyou get your protein later in the day? are you vegetarian/vegan? i just ask because i'm so used to getting protein immediately when i wake up haha

    Frittatas are like quiche without crust. I made mine with eggs, low-fat half-n-half, spinach, red onion, bell peppers, feta, and some spices (I think cayenne and basil with a little parsley, and minced garlic). I weighed every ingredient and divided it into the total number of frittatas (cooked in a mini-pie pan) to get that each one was 82 calories. Then I kept about 5-6 in the fridge and the rest in the freezer in individual ziplock bags.

    As for protein, I eat a relatively early lunch (11 am) every day and get plenty of protein between lunch and dinner. I'm not really a hungry morning person. I always bring my fruit/frittatas with me to work and eat them after I've had at least one of my cups of coffee. I wake up at 5:40-6:20 and don't eat until 8:30.

    I eat a breakfast burritos almost every week days:

    - 1 high fiber tortilla from La Tortilla Factory
    - 2 or 3 egg whites
    - 1/4 red bell pepper, diced
    - 1 green onion, thinly sliced
    - 20g of cheddar, grated
    - Hot sauce

    If we have some leftover meat (chicken, turkey, beef or lean deli meat), i'll had a bit of those too, so it cranks up the protein content. This morning, we had some leftover grilled corn, so I add about a tablespoon of those with the veggies, with a slice of deli turkey breast roast.

    296 cals, 24g of carbs, 11g of fat and 24g of protein. And add about 12 calories for the nice espresso my fiancé makes every mornings.

    I find this breakfast quite balanced.
