What do you eat for breakfast

Need help idk what to eat for breakfast anymore as I've been doing this for so long. Also being gluten free makes choices so limited! I'm tired of protein shakes,cereal,oatmeal, not a big egg person. All any ideas would be helpful thank you

    I eat "protein energy bars" from Aldi in their Fit & Active brand. Not sure on the gluten element. For me, they're fast, I don't have to think, 200 calories and 15g protein. But - depending on how you look at it, and particularly if you're a big breakfast person (I'm not) - they're a little sad. They taste great, though!

    Fruit with natural yoghurt and chopped nuts. I'm not a huge fan of breakfast but it's enough for me.

    Green smoothies - my current favourite is a handful each of kale and spinach, blended well with two cups of water and a chunk of fresh ginger. Then I toss in half an orange, half a grapefruit, and a cup of frozen mango and blend again. Poured in a travel cup and out the door to start the day.

    1 banana chopped up into 100g low-fat greek yogurt with 1 teaspoon each of the following: a trail mix of pumpkin, sesame and sunflower seeds; ground flaxseed; chopped almonds; and vanilla protein powder. A bit of honey on top usually. It's about 250 calories.

    Honestly, I don't usually eat breakfast. I generally have either a BulletProof Coffee or a large iced coffee with raw milk. I'm not usually hungry until what is traditionally lunch time.

    I eat fruit, yogurt, or protein shakes. However... I found one online that I love. It's called fit frappe from big train and I get it on Amazon. Little tip here. I mix it with my coffee and a blender ball and add ice. Iced Mocha--- It's amazing. This is generally my daily breakfast. I do NOT like to eat first thing in the morning. There are 10 grams of protein and 60 cals. There is a vanilla one, and mocha that I use in my coffee, or add water. Also. Eggs are great proteins to eat first thing, if you have time.

    Here's what a friend of mine does who has celiac's. She makes gluten free pancakes - adding about double the eggs for more protein, banana's, apples, chopped nuts, raisins and/or craisins, and chocolate chips. She makes a huge batch so she can freeze most of them and then just pop them into the toaster to reheat. Full of protein, fiber, and pretty darn tasty.

    You don't have to have "breakfast food" for breakfast....think outside the box.

    usually stuff like yogurt, fruit, granola bar, sandwich, dinner leftovers... around 200-300 calories works for me for breakfast.
    I do not like breakfast foods for breakfast and don't like to cook right away. I actually love soup or pizza for breakfast. You can eat whatever food you want at any time of the day.

    I'm usually good with just coffee and half and half until lunch time. If I am hungry I typically eat eggs, but I also like having berries (fresh or frozen) with either heavy cream or plain, full fat Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Sometimes I'll add chopped pecans for crunch. Tomato and avocado "salad" is pretty good too. And, as others mentioned, there is no rule that you have to eat breakfast foods for breakfast- leftovers from the night before work well, or really anything you might eat for lunch or dinner.

    I usually have leftovers from the night before or a big salad.
  • If i'm working out in the morning, a piece of fruit (citrus, banana, grapes or berries) and a small protein shake, and then 150ml fruit juice (not from concentrate) immediately before the workout. Otherwise, I have soya/natural/greek yogurt (whatever I fancy - but always unflavoured to save sugar) with fruit and seeds/nuts. I bought a bag of protein pancake mix to have as a treat breakfast, but standard pancakes are also a pretty good breakfast, as long as you keep them clean and don't pile on sugar and syrup, especially if you use a light oil for frying. Peanut butter (no added sugar) is a pretty decent protein source, it's really good on a slice of toast or crackers, and then topped with banana, and if you want a treat, drizzle with a little honey. Or even spread peanut butter on other fruits, like apple slices. Just make sure you have complex carbs, some sugar (from natural sources) and some protein, and you're pretty set

    Mini 100 calorie whole wheat bagel (obvi not gluten free) with light cream cheese, 100 calorie pack cashews, and 2 clementines. Sometimes a 50 calorie tube of Greek yogurt. Just easy stuff I can keep at work.

    If I'm home I do an egg white omelette with some vegetables and turkey bacon.

    I had 2 slices of gluten free bread. 1 slice with 1/2 avocado on top, the other slice with coconut oil/coconut nectar spread. 3 cups of Yerba mate. Yerba mate gives me energy without a crash, and it's also an appetite suppressant.

    Hashbrowns or other varieties of potato - I just saw a recipe for a hashbrown "omelet," but I think it would need some modifications to be lower calorie.
    Roast a tray of potatoes and Brussels sprouts and toss it with some bacon, ham, or sausage.
    Chorizo & sweet potato taco with a corn tortilla.
    GF waffles or pancakes with fruit.
    Cauliflower, zucchini, or broccoli tater tots. Make ahead and keep in your freezer.
    Fried rice with tofu or breakfast meat.
    Tofu scramble with veggies.

    I drink 2 cups water room temp Infused with lemon, cucumbers, mint leaves and ginger as soon as I wake up. Then green tea with cinnamon and honey for the road. 1 hour later I have a yogurt with chia seeds and almonds.

    Breakfast doesn't have to be traditional breakfast foods. I just ate leftover dinner. Lots of protein and fat so it will get me far before I'm hungry again. Just eat what satisfies you.

    I usually don't eat breakfast, but when I do, it's usually just a simple smoothie. 2 cups frozen fruit, 1 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 cup milk. (For 2 people, about 150-170 cals each depending on how evenly it gets split.)

    I don't eat gluten but I do have lactose.

    So, I eat homemade yogurt with nuts. Protein shake after working out.

    Yogurt, V8 Juice, and if I'm feeling really spunky, a boiled egg. Other times an English muffin with a microwave poached egg and a slice of cheese.
