The perfect breakfast

enterdanger · May 2016

Today I finally tried steel cut oats in my crockpot overnight. I'm so impressed. I used 2 cups oats, 8 cups water, 1.5 cup milk, tsp vanilla. Then we added whatever sweetener, fruit, nut, mini chocolate chips etc that we wanted. I had the craisin rasin mix with walnuts.

The texture was beautiful and my kids loved it...but I didn't know that a serving of steel cut oats are 1/4 cup dry compared to the 1/2 cup dry for rolled oats. I have a lot of oatmeal now. Good news is that pinterest has a million recipes for using left over oatmeal...pancakes, muffins, cookies, bread. I'm almost more excited now to have the left over. I see some oat bread in my future

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.

Oatmeal with some greek yogurt mixed in and then some berries or bananas if I have any on hand.

My favorite for week days is 2 eggs scrambled with about 50g of shredded chicken thighs and green onions in a wrap.

Linzon · May 2016

Lately I've been having the same breakfast most days, peanut butter and jam oatmeal. About 32g dry oats, 10g wheat bran, 10g cocoa powder, cinnamon, water, 12g PB2, 70g egg whites, and when it's cooked I add 12g peanut butter and 30g low-sugar-high-fruit raspberry jam. About 400 calories but one of the few breakfasts I've found that keeps me full til noon!

Two slices of Pepperidge Farm white Italian bread (160 cals) with 100 grams of avocado (160 cals) mashed and spread on top. Little bit of black pepper. I've been eating avocado like crazy lately (and greek yogurt). I keep full for five-six hours at a time.

Today I made 2 ingredients pancakes;
Banana
Egg

They were very hard to flip but lovely and sweet with no added sugar

Time is my issue too. I buy prepared (and peeled) hard boiled eggs by the dozen at my supermarket. Then for breakfast I have one egg, one piece of baby bell cheese, half a kosher dill pickle and finish off with a cutie orange. Less than 200 calories.

If you plan to not have time for breakfast, overnight oats.

Cereal and low-fat milk for me. Since this is my company provides for free.

I enjoy an omlette with a whole egg & 2 egg whites & throw in whatever veggies are in the fridge. Sometimes top off with a little hard cheese, plus oatcakes - easy to eat on the move!
