I am looking for breakfast ideas that are not eggs or oatmeal related.

Eggs in the morning send me to the bathroom and I get a bad crash when I eat oatmeal for breakfast.

Thanks

    I often have toast with honey and a greek yogurt with some berries or other fruit.

    My stomach hurts every time I eat eggs. Stinks because I like them. I've been making a can of tuna, a little mustard and mayo and two dill pickles chopped. I might add some green onions. I eat it plain or over a bed of shredded lettuce. I love it and it fills me up to lunch. Only about 200 calories depending on the amount of mayo I use.

    Greek yogurt parfait - yogurt, berries, Fiber One cereal & a few chopped nuts. Protein, fat & fiber all rolled into 1.

    Plain oatmeal doesn't do it for me either.....I make it with milk (for protein) and add chopped nuts (for fat). Only then does it stick with me until lunch.

    I like a protein shake with some cheese and a piece of fruit. Yogurt with fruit and some granola. Peanut butter on toast with fruit. Turkey sausage and cheese on a whole wheat tortilla.

    Breakfast doesn't have to be breakfast food. Have a turkey & cheese roll up or some other kind of lunch item. Good luck!

    Finger-sized pieces of sashimi with a sliver of pickled ginger, a smear of wasabi, and rolled in nori. Six or seven of these do me just fine.

    Bagels, Yogurt with Granola, Pancakes/Waffles, Smoothies - those are my norms. I like oatmeal - but only in the winter. But, I can't eat eggs.

Yogurt with granola, cheese toast, peanut butter toast, peanut butter and banana sandwich, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, whole grain waffles, bagels, fruit, fruit salad, french toast, cereal and milk (I do special K protein cereal), pancakes (I hate pancakes though), the options are endless..

    Vanilla protein powder -whey-spinach, blueberries, ice, water, splash of half and half. Nutribullet RX. Voila. I don't know your plan, but I would stay away from all carbs for breakfast. So no toast, yogurt or oatmeal. And no high sugar fruit like bananas. Why spike your blood sugar in the am to put you in a fat-storing mode right off the bat?

    If you have a high power blender you may want to try my recipe. I have a shake every morning. It takes around 5 minutes to make, I drink it at 7:30 AM and I am full until lunch at noon. Very nutritious and all good calories.

    Kale - Kale, 1 cup
    Greek Yogurt, 1/2 cup
    Regular Raw - Gala Apple, 0.5 medium apple
    Agave Syrup - Agave Syrup, 1 tbsp
    Spectrum Essentials - Chia Seeds, 1 Tbsp (12g)
    Strawberries, frozen, unsweetened, 0.5 cup

    I love meatballs, burgers or soup (all from my freezer) if I'm not having a "traditional" breakfast.

    Plain Greek yogurt with fresh berries and a 1/4 cup of Kashi GoLean cereal is my usual breakfast go-to. Another favorite is peanut butter & berries on a sandwich thin (no jelly or jam, just fresh berries).

    Regarding the oatmeal crash, I used to feel that way when I'd eat the Quaker oatmeal packets/cups. Not sure if it was the sugar in them, but I now eat only the steel cut oats, with maybe a little peanut butter &/or berries in it. The extra fat from the peanut butter helps digest them slower, so I don't feel ravenous after a couple hours like I used to.

    English Muffin Pizza - a little pizza sauce, shredded cheese, and topping of your choice on an English muffin. I like Thomas "light" or whole grain muffins because they have lots of fiber. Maybe two minutes to prep and a few minutes in an oven or toaster oven. (pretty fast)

    Toast or a waffle with nut butter or avocado or cheese/deli meat or cream cheese and leftover shredded chicken (fast)

    Wraps or Quesadillas (portable)

    I ate dinner leftovers today, since I was feeling lazy. Roasted chicken breast, cauliflower, plus some cottage cheese and pineapple.

    I have 1/3 cup of almonds and some iced coffee for breakfast every weekday.

    Fruit, smoothies, toast, English muffins, bagels, tofu scrambled like eggs(which is super good if you add some onion, garlic, and cumin), or cereal. :)

    I'm planning to make quick and easy potatoes for breakfast today. Pretty easy! Cut the potatoes into small cubes and boil them (takes about 10 minutes), drain, add butter (I like 1:10 ratio to the raw weight of the potatoes so 10 grams for every 100 grams potatoes) and mash, then add flour (about 1:5 ratio to the potatoes, so 20 grams for every 100 grams), and some baking powder, salt and garlic powder (if you want) to taste. Sometimes I add caramelized onions or dried tomatoes. What you add is up to you.

    Shape all into one or more dough ball, depending how much you are making, then squish or roll into a relatively thin circle that would lay nearly at the bottom of a pan. Prick all over with a fork, transfer to a greased or sprayed already hot pan and cook until golden on both sides.

    Sounds more complicated than it is. In reality it doesn't take much effort to prepare.

    Lovely with sour cream and some kind of protein. I like it with prosciutto or some kind of cold cut and a fried egg, my sister likes it with smoked salmon.

    A slice of left over pizza ... cold right out of the fridge ... yumm!

    PS ... a bowl of last nights stew, whole wheat toast with peanut butter and banana, a sandwich of last nights meatloaf, grilled cheese sandwich with tomato in it. ... anything that rocks your boat is good to go for breakfast!

    Breakfast doesn't have to consist of breakfast-foods. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of traditional breakfast food. Eat what you like. These are some of the things I eat:

    Chia Pudding (Make the night before so they can soak)

    Belvita (I find them filling and they're easy to grab and go)

    Whole Wheat English Muffin w/ Cream Cheese and Ham or Smoked Salmon

    Homemade Frozen Breakfast Burritos - You can put whatever you want in these. Mine usually contain scrambled eggs w/ hot sauce, crumbled turkey sausage or ham, mushrooms and cheese. You can put anything in them though.

    I second the poster who recommended getting steel cut oatmeal, that fills me up right up to lunch usually, and they're really low GI so there's no way there should be a peak and crash effect. That's my breakfast 5 days a week - usually with some fresh berries mixed in. My favourite weekend breakfast is sliced avocado, rye bread toast with a tomato salsa on top, or for real luxury breakfast smoked salmon, pumpernickel bagel and cream cheese! Both are great for feeling full up, I've found - although I've been known to add a poached egg to the avocado to up the protein, and that's clearly not what you want!

    I like Wasa multigrain crackers - almost anything can go on them and they are lower calorie than regular bread. Lately, I use about 2 tbsp garden veggie spreadable cream cheese, some baby spinach and a slice or two of low sodium deli turkey (Smithfield is a good brand) - the cracker is very crunchy and grainy and you can barely taste it with all that other yummy stuff on top. You have a little dairy, some protein, some iron and all that grainy stuff. Covers all the bases. Finish off with an apple or other fresh fruit.
