Needing a replacement for breakfast.

I always eat cheerios or rasin bran for breakfast. I don't cook in the mornings. (So eggs and bacon won't work for me.) Does anyone know what can take the place of my usual?

If your doing LCHF diet then I usually have 2 cups of bullet proof coffee and beef broth threw out my mornings and that keeps me full till lunch0

If you can't handle no cereal in the morning, then try "keto cereal": http://www.ruled.me/salted-caramel-pork-rind-cereal/
If you put enough cinnamon on it, it almost tastes like the grain-made junk ... ymmv
This is a fancy version. I have done just plain pork rinds, a few almonds, kefir and sweetleaf drops with cinnamon sprinkled on top. It worked, sorta!0 -
Cheese, deli meat, hard boiled eggs made before and stored for "whenever", leftovers, low carb smoothies, bullet proof coffee, yogurt with some berries.
Hope that helps. 0 -
I have a bullet proof hot chocolate made with protein powder instead of coffee. Keeps me full til lunch.0

I love to eat leftovers for breakfast! Had an apple glazed pork chop just a couple of days ago, it was so good. A lot of foods are better the second day anyway, after the flavors have had the chance to really meld together well.
I like Bulletproof Coffee pretty well but Christine's hot chocolate version sounds even better and I'm going to try it this morning!
Hard boil a dozen eggs to have handy. (I put a tsp of white vinegar and a few drops of red food color in the water so that the shells turn pink, so that I can tell them apart from my regular eggs in the fridge! You know, apart from the smell, haha!!!)
I've made This Low Carb "Granola" and it is AMAZINGly good. I could eat it by the fist-full for days. In fact I often do just eat a serving or two for snacks! To make it a more filling part of a meal I like it on vanilla yogurt (you can make your own if you have time/desire to do so - I do - but the Carb Master yogurt you can get at Kroger stores is nice too and way easier!).
If cereal is your love, Mellissa at I Breathe, I'm Hungry has this recipe for Cinnamon Faux-st Crunch Cereal that you could make to have on hand, I haven't tried it myself but it has rave reviews.0 -
Crust less quiche made in a muffin pan
Warm up nicely in the microwave0 -
I mix unsweetened coconut flakes, sliced almonds and shaved 86% dark chocolate together in a baggie and eat it like a trail mix with a spoon straight outta the bag for a snack sometimes. You could probably pour almond milk on it in a bowl for a cereal. Maybe even add a few more ingredients.0

I buy hard boiled eggs that already have their shell taken off. 10 eggs in a bag. They're more expensive, but I feel they are worth it. It's quick, easy, and keeps me full until lunch time.0

This is a staple for me. So many variations you can do with quiche. To make it even easier and less calories (no need to oil a pan), I use this - works great!

Can you share the recipe please? Sounds good!! 0 -
I usually have crustless quiche (from the Atkins website) I just make a bunch and freeze it. You can also do full fat cottage cheese with pecans!0

I cant cook daily so on Sundays I make up a bunch. I have a pan with 12 small square openings, so I crack an egg in each one, use a fork to break the yolk and stir, then sprinkle shredded cheese and bacon bits and salt/pepper over the top of them. Bake at 350 for about 10-13 minutes. Like baby omelets. I put them in pairs in snack size baggies, then grab a baggie or two every morning to take to work. Microwave for a minute or two. Takes 15 minutes to make 12 of them.0

I, too, would love to hear more about the BP hot chocolate. !! 0 -
Cooking on the weekend (I also like crustless quiche or egg bake/egg muffins) is clutch! I wouldn't ever eat breakfast if I didn't have it ready to go in 2 minutes.0

I just had a good laugh about the pink eggs. Many years ago I worked in a kitchen
at a Boy Scout camp. Every morning we would boil eggs. Every other week when we
got new kids in the camp, I had to put a raw egg in with the boiled.
It never got old.

Here's my bullet proof hot choc recipe, I use a 500ml soup mug
-25g protein powder- I alternate between quest chocolate and peanut butter.
- 15g butter
-15g coconut oil
-15g thickened cream
Fill the cup 1/4 the way up with boiled kettle water and blend using a hand immersion blender, then fill to the top with the rest of the hot water. A filling creamy cup of deliciousness!
Comes to 385 calories
Sometimes I also add 15ml of coconut cream

That sounds fantastic @Christine_72. Thank you for sharing.0

I also make up eggs and bacon ahead of time, usually fry both for the following day as I'm making dinner for the evening. There is NO way I would get up early enough to cook anything before work...lol
I also have coffee with heavy whipping cream, it really has a way of filling you up and holding you over until lunch time and sometimes beyond.0 -

This is exactly what I do except I drink a coffee substitute rather than real coffee. I don't like cooking in the morning.0 -
Baked omelet! I use this basic recipe and sub cream for the milk. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/15051/baked-omelet/
Add sausage instead of ham sometimes, leave out onions, add green peppers or broccoli, change up the cheese for pepper jack for a little kick. I think you can vary any way you want! Last time was a whole pound of cooked sausage for a substantial breakfast. Keeps well for 4-5 days in fridge.
Cut a piece off and nuke for a couple minutes with grated cheese and its a very satisfying breakfast.0
