Mine lately has been "instant oatmeal". But not the packaged kind! I mix up 1/2 cup of quick cooking oats, pinch of salt, LOTS of cinnamon, tablespoon of dried cranberries and about a tablespoon of whatever nuts I have on hand. Lately it's been walnuts but typically it's almonds. I put all of that in a little Tupperware dish with enough boiling water to cover it, stir it and slap the lid on. By the time I get to work, it's cooked and still hot!
What's your favorite go to breakfast?

I've been making mainly oatmeal myself! I'll put oats in the fridge with some milk and anything I have on hand so that they've absorbed everything by morning. One of my favorite things to add in is homemade pumpkin puree! I was amazed to learn how easy it is to steam and blend a pumpkin, and now I have it to throw into anything! I'm trying hard to remember: Breakfast like a King, Lunch like a Prince, Dinner like a Pauper, so breakfast is usually my most calorie-heavy meal!
This morning, it's warm Pumpkin Brownie Batter oats with 1/4c Grape Nuts (roughly 431 calories)...

I buy Fage Total 0% Fat Greek Yogurt by the tub full, and leave the tub in my work fridge.
Then every morning, I scoop out 4-5 ounces of yogurt, add whatever berries were on sale that week (I prefer blueberries because they have less sugar, but have also done raspberries, and even a whole sliced kiwi when berries got expensive!), I add about 1/4 cup of Bare Naked Fit Vanilla Almond Crunch granola, and a teaspoon of honey to sweeten the yogurt, and viola!

Yum! It looks so pretty! Lol I'm all out of yogurt! Until grocery shopping this weekend.
I like to take plain greek, add in a teaspoon or two of my PB2 (the chocolate one is delicious in this case) and then a sprinkle of granola! Dessert for breakfast! 0 -
My favorite is a whole wheat english muffin, 1 tbsp of peanut butter, and half a sliced banana. Keeps me nice and full until lunchtime!0

I like oatmeal, too, with dried cranberries and a little honey or brown sugar. This morning I was out of oatmeal so made 2 overeasy eggs and an English muffin. I was surprised how the eggs kept me more full than the oatmeal, and I didn't even notice I missed my morning snack today!0

my breakfast is very nontraditional because I have so many food allergies it is ridiculous....
options:
homemade turkey or chicken patties
a vegetable( carrots, celery, etc)
a small amount of fruit (grapes, green apple, peach, plum, etc)
or a Larabar with a small fruit
based on my options you may guess:
lactose intolerant
egg allergy
wheat allergy

I like oatmeal too, but I need to figure out how to get more protein in there. If I don't get at least 15g with breakfast, I struggle to meet my protein goal for the day.

I typically simply eat a Quest bar and a Dannon Lite & Fit Greek yogurt every morning. It's a quick way to get some protein and fiber without having to really think about it.0

Try topping it with some vanilla greek yogurt! My lunch this week has been a french toast casserole that I made on Sunday and split into reasonable portions plus 4oz of vanilla greek yogurt. That gets me to about 20g of protein -9g coming from the yogurt 0
