    1 serving of plain oatmeal
    1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
    Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Ginger

    Tastes like rice pudding. Make a bunch and put it in some individual sized containers for the week.

    We must not have tried the same rice pudding.


    But OP, there are a lot of exciting breakfasts for me. It's just not always easy to fit them in my day, lol! But pancakes, French toast, waffle or English muffin with hazelnut butter or ricotta and honey... so much deliciousness potential.

    I made myself a burger for breakfast the other day too and I've had meatloaf leftovers a few times... nothing's off limit for breakfast.

    Old Fashioned Oats, 2% milk, dash of cinnamon and a bit of vanilla. Mmm eating some now! If I have nut butter in the house I add in 1T. of Trader Joe's Sunflower Nut Butter. I don't limit Oatmeal to breakfast though.

    Something I could make at home that wouldn't make me dread eating breakfast? Easy breakfasts that don't involve something too simple like toast and coffee, nor do I like eggs.

    Any suggestions?

    i have several meals i make to break up the potential monotony of eggs. one uses packet of regular oatmeal mixed with half a cup of skim milk (not water). 1/4 cup of fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup of fresh raspberries, and a tablespoon of chopped pecans to give it a texture and a bit of crunch. i also make blueberry parfaits (plain greek yogurt, vanilla whey protein scoop, kashi go lean crunch, honey, flax seed and blueberries), banana oatmeal smoothies (bananas, 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal, flax, 1/2 cup of skim milk, 1/2 cup of plain greek yogurt, and a dash of honey), sometimes just plain ole' cereal and milk. ;)

    that said, if you don't want to eat breakfast, don't. i know there are studies that say if you eat breakfast, you're likely to lose more weight than someone who doesn't, but there are also studies that say it's perfectly fine to skip meals. some studies say we should eat three squares a day, others that say six tiny meals. do what works for you.

    Don't limit yourself to breakfast foods in the am. Have pre-cooked grilled chicken and veggies or even lunch food if you are hungry. Or make a homemade soup for in the am. I like that!

    I had a salad with grilled chicken, sauteed zucchini, cucumber, lettuce and italian dressing for breakfast today.

    I usually like to have tostadas with refried beans, hot sauce, lettuce, plain yogurt and sometimes add meat or scrambled eggs and some other veggies. :p

    I make zucchini frittata a lot too with some jalapeño pepper in it. Sometimes I add meat and/or cheese.

    You can have anything.

    I get tired of eggs and the typical breakfast foods, but as of late I've been really liking my usual toasted english muffin with cream cheese and sautéd veggies with chicken sausage. The english muffin is a play on my love of bagels

    Start with a list of foods you do like and go from there. If prep deters you, make something ahead and have it ready to go. I have difficulty relating, as breakfast is my favourite meal of the day.

    On weekends I tend to wake up late. I often eat lunch as my first meal. So good.

    I'm excited about pretty much all breakfast foods, but who says you have to eat traditional breakfast foods in the morning? Maybe have leftovers from dinner, or meal prep your breakfast using the same kinds of foods you would for lunch.

    I made myself a kind of fun breakfast today. I toasted a Nutrigrain waffle and cut it in half. On one half I spread a teaspoon of peanut butter and topped it with banana. The other half was topped with Nutella and fresh strawberries. I loved having the two different flavor combos. I like the chocolate & strawberry half better, lol.

    I love watching Youtube on my laptop. I will Youtube search- breakfast ideas. Or, healthy breakfast ideas. You'll be amazed at how many quick videos will pop up with tons of ideas. Give that a try.

    that sounds like fun!! Hopefully i have the ingredients!

    I usually like to drink smoothies for breakfast but it's really expensive to buy fresh fruit all the time to keep up with it everyday

    I usually do a bowl with fresh berries and banana with either low sugar granola or oatmeal, and then I add chia seeds, hemp seeds, and coconut. It's a nice combo, and I can either eat it with almond milk or just mix it up like a parfait. Plus I can vary the fruit choices to match the growing seasons.

    To be honest that sounds delicious and creative. Im definitely going to try that someday!

    I'd be excited for breakfast if it involved things such as waffles and turkey sausage or cream cheese but unfortunately my kitchen only offers things like toast/eggs/cereal/oatmeal which I've gotten tired of
