I'm trying to find a good breakfast as I do enjoy them but sometimes never have time. Today I made a banana and apple smoothie with water, cucumber and lettuce (262 Cal) which was very nice but I'm wondering what else people have discovered works for them?

Thanks in advance :)

    I do a protein bagel (P28) and peanut butter. It's quick and easy.

    2 Egg whites with baby spinach, turkey sausage, one slice of wheat or rye toast, and some fruit is my go-to breakfast. It keeps me full until lunch (about 5 1/2 hours) and only has around 230 calories.

    Plain Greek yogurt with fresh berries is my new favorite! I eat a protein bar almost every morning too.

    If you need a quickie go for the shake with Casein for the start. Add your favorite berries and a bit of nut buyer or coconut milk for fat.

    Otherwise I am am avocado eating maniac. I love my eggs and ghee in the morning. I don't eat bread and out side an avocado an occasional berries no fruit!

    Porridge, made with one part coconut milk, two parts water. Served with a dessert spoon of maple syrup, a dessert spoon of goji berries and a teaspoon of mixed toasted seeds. Delicious! And low in fat.

    My new favorite thing is avocado toast. I toast some rye bread, mix a tbsp Mayo and some siracha spread on the toast, top with half an avocado, sprinkle some lime juice, hot sauce and salt and pepper. Sooo good
    Sounds delicious, got to try

    Typical breakfasts for me- Greek yogurt, granola bar, cereal with milk, sandwich, dinner leftovers, fruit (about 200-300 calories)
    Today I had yogurt and half an orange.
    Banana bread with peanut butter is pretty magical.
    If I want something warm then I like soup for breakfast.

    Anything with a good balance of protein, fat, and fiber. Today was overnight oats with almond milk, caramel almond butter, and 3/4 scoop of protein powder.

    I usually have a 4 egg white omelet with spinach and top it with some fermented vegetables like kimchi or fermented beets. Also usually a bowl of oats with peanut butter or whole grain toast with peanut butter. On weekends I do all kinds of stuff because I have the time.

    I have a bowl of oatmeal, quinoa flakes, or now some organic shredded whole wheat, all in the 140-150 calorie serving size. I add half a cup of 2%, or soy milk (whatever I have in the fridge) and some fruit/ dried fruit of my choice. Sometimes I have eggs or smoked salmon, or add a smaller portion to my carb meal for some added protein in the morning. I find the protein addition really makes me feel full.

    My favorite breakfast is a vegetable omelet -- 2 eggs, some kind of green (spinach, kale, or chard), some other vegetable, maybe some mushrooms and feta cheese. I usually have smoked salmon or cottage cheese on the side for a bit more protein.

    Cliff bar or a tub of Greek yogurt. Grab and go.

    I usually prep breakfasts and lunches for week time on the weekend. I do a veggie/egg bake that when cut into 12 pieces is 109 calories with lots of nice veggies (whatever kind you like). So easy to grab and eat (even cold) when I'm on the run or heat for 30 seconds in microwave. That with 100 grms of fruit is great. Also, love overnight oats in mason jars of all kinds - favorite is just 0% Greek yogurt, oats, almond/coconut milk & dash of cinnamon and vanilla (can also add whatever fruits) Higher in calories but good. When all else fails a banana with natural peanut butter eats the spot. And of course, coffee!

    Lately I've been eating a frozen blueberry waffle with 8 grams of peanut butter, a small banana, and a fried egg. I also have 2 cups of coffee with milk and sugar. Comes in under 350 cals usually and for some reason the combo is really satisfying to me. No matter what my current breakfast kick is, it ALWAYS includes eggs.

    I prep a crap load of egg white mcmuffins some random weekend morning and throw them in the freezer. Then I get one or two out in the morning and warm up in the microwave at work. Lately, I have been having it with non-fat Greek yogurt I mix with frozen berries, vanilla extract and Truvia. Nom.
