    Whenever I feel like I'm in a rut I try new ethnic cuisines (or my own ethnic cuisine). For example, a turkish breakfast: bread, fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, a couple of green and black olives, a fresh cheese, and an old cheese. Indian breakfast: upma or pongal. Japanese breakfast: rice, miso, bunch of vegetable sides.

    More simple ideas: buy a fancy jam or marmalade or preserves - it makes toast more interesting. A plain waffle with peanut butter and honey. Crunchy granola with milk or yogurt.

    Also, not sure if the texture has anything to do with why you hate oatmeal. I personally hate that mushy soppy wet texture of rolled oats, and I don't think dates and honey help. I got the salty route. I use McCann's steel cut quick oats - they take about 5-6 minutes to cook, as opposed to the regular steel cut oats. When it's done, I turn off the heat, and add salt and two tablespoons of ground flax seed meal - this adds texture and also omega 3s. Then I top it off with a full fat/whole milk plain yogurt. The saltiness, creaminess, and fiber all go so well with the cool creaminess of the yogurt.

    I used to make this for my brother when he was doing manual labour, really filling and full of protein.
    Mix a banana with a tbsp of peanut butter, a couple of spoons of low fat yogurt, almond milk and a handful of oats, leave it over night then blitz in the morning for your breakfast smoothie you won't even know the oats are there.

    Half a cup of garbanzo beans mashed with half of an avocado. Season with a little garlic salt and pepper and spread over toast or on a whole wheat tortilla. So filling and delicious.

    I have been using a lot of ham lately since it is so cheap for easter. Fry up a little and I like eggs, but with a slice of bread or with cheese it can be good as well.

    If you are trying to lose some weight your morning meal it's even more important. A liquid breakfast is not always a good idea cause it has no fiber and no protein the keys to make you feel satisfied trough the day. And oatmeal and eggs are a good source of them but you still have some options: unsweetened cereals with milk and fruit, whole grain toast witch cottage cheese and fruit, plain yogurt with fruits and 2 tbps of granola, toast with avocado and natural fruit juice.

    [Edited by MFP Mods]

    No it's not, it's only important if you're hungry in the morning. Otherwise you can comfortably wait until later before having breakfast. And a liquid breakfast can contain fibre if you add something like oats, avocado, cocoa, banana, etc and whey, milk, yoghurt, peanut butter for protein.

    MEAL PREP! I make banana oat flour pancakes for the week and then freeze them. Every night I pull 2 out the freezer into the fridge to thaw overnight. Microwave them the next morning. So good!! 30 seconds breakfast every morning! Also you could always do something like a Kasha cereal with almond milk or ezekiel bread with peanut butter.

    Whatever you do, choose something with carbs, because you need energy in the morning. And I don't mean sugar by saying carbs.

    Depending on my mood, I either eat Greek yogurt and a cheese stick, A wrap made with Boar's Head chicken with a 2% cheese slice, or a cheeseburger with mushrooms or slice of tomato. I keep cooked hamburger patties in the refrigerator because it is my favorite. These 3 meals are my go to breakfasts and lunches.
    I know Boar's Head is pricey, but I don't eat junk so I think I deserve it. Half a pound at a time is not expensive.
