Hi. My second week is nearly over and I wonder what do you eat for breakfast? I usually have scrambled eggs or omelette, natural cottage cheese with veggies or porridge. I'm getting slightly bored with my breakfasts and hope for some great ideas from you. x

    Chocolate mini wheats are yummy. I make a lot of smoothies also with fresh fruit.

    I have a high protein, high fiber, low sugar protein bar followed by a serving of nuts and a fruit a few hours later.

    Oats a thousand different ways. To me oats are like ice cream. I make:
    1 cup fat free fair life milk
    1/2 cup organic quick oats
    1/2 banana
    4 strawberries sliced
    1/2 Tbs. Chia seeds
    1 Tbs sliced almonds
    1/2 Tbs shredded dried coconut

    Recipe 2
    Same amount oats and milk but I add:
    1 Tbs cacao powder
    1 Tbs. Peanut butter
    1/2 Tbs chia seeds
    1/2 oz. English walnuts
    1/2 Tbs dried cranberries.
    Those are my favorite.

    This morning I had oatmeal with an egg mixed in and topped with nut and seed mix (sunflower seeds, cranberries, mixed nuts, and pumpkin seeds) and fresh blueberries. Was pretty yum.

    Good morning!
    Am I safe to assume these are overnight oatmeal and if so how long do they last? can you make a few ahead of time?

    Thanks for the recipes!!

    5 blanched almonds, a cup of tea and multi-grain bread. If that doesn't fill me up, I eat a fruit or a small bowl of yogurt.

    Typically a big high-protein chia seed "pudding" with a piece of fruit:
    260-270g cottage cheese or roughly 280g Greek yogurt
    17g peanut butter
    6-7g PB2
    10g chia seeds
    Whatever the weight of my apple/peach is.

    Depending on the portions, it tends to be around 450-490 calories with about 40-45g of protein, 14-16g of fat, and 30-38g net carbs (I subtract the 10g of fiber).

    Mostly yogurt, fruit, and cheese if I eat anything at all, but I tend to splurge on the weekends with large omelettes, pancakes, bacon, and/or homemade waffles.

    Overnight oats will last two or three days, they are amazing, and what I used to eat for breakfast. Still make them for the kidlet.

    Normally two hard boiled eggs. Once I run out of eggs I eat protein bars until I make more eggs.

    Home made oat flour, flaxseed and honey muffin. Banana. This morning accompanied by a small serving of fruit smoothie. And coffee - indispensable!

    This afternoon, I refreshed my smoothie mix with bananas going a little too ripe, and some strawberries which were beginning to feel neglected, and will have a small serving of it tomorrow morning.

    Please can you share your recipe for your muffins? X

    I normally have a huge breakfast: one or two eggs with toast and tomato, sometimes avocado, a coffee with whole milk and sugar, and if I'm still hungry a Greek yogurt or some almonds. I didn't have time to make that this morning though so I went with my backup breakfast Kashi Go Lean and skim milk (and coffee as above). I ended up making the egg as a snack though!

    I tend to eat a breakfast sandwich with a piece of fruit, usually akin to an egg mcmuffin. I also love oatmeal or greek yogurt with some fruit and nuts. To keep myself from getting bored with eggs, I add stuff like peppers, onions, spinach, lean meat, etc. to my scrambles, or having it as a breakfast burrito. I've tried doing smoothies but I find myself starving an hour or two later. I need to eat my food, not drink it.

    Sure thing:

    Dry ingredients:
    1.5 cups of oat flour
    1.5 cups of oat bran
    2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed
    2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon (varies according to my mood)
    1 tablespoon of ground ginger (varies according to my mood)
    sometimes other spices, too
    .5 teaspoon of baking powder.
    .25 teaspoon or less of baking soda

    Wet ingredients - if you dump these in a blender/Vitamix, it'll help - oats and flax are denser than regular flour, and also a lot thirstier:
    3 whole eggs
    2 small bananas (about 5 or 6 ounces worth)
    .5 cups of milk
    .25 cup of honey
    .25 cups of olive oil.
    1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
    1 teaspoon of orange extract
    2 cups of water
    (I mean, oats and flax are VERY thirsty ingredients!)

    Extras:
    .25 or .5 cups of, oh, say, sesame seeds, chocolate chips, chopped walnuts ... whatever you fancy.

    Method:
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees
    Mix the dry ingredients together while the wet ingredients whip up in the blender. Let the blender work for you at least a minute, more won't hurt. You want a nice, slightly frothy, rich liquid.
    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and, with a wooden spoon or spatula, mix together gently - treat the mixture like a chiffon or angels food mix. Mix until everything is blended and "gloopy".
    Either lightly spray or oil a muffin tin or use muffin liners (You can also make a loaf, of course, but I find muffins simpler). Distribute the batter. I use a half-cup measure. Half a cup is the equivalent to one serving.

    Bake till a toothpick comes out clean. In my oven, that means around 20 - 25 minutes. Let cool for about 20 minutes. They store nicely in the fridge for over a week.

    I'll post MFP's nutritional info on this recipe in a separate post, with attachment.

    Here's the nutritional value of the oat flour honey muffin recipe (the potassium pill is in there just as a count of the amount of potassium in the oat flour, which wasn't listed in the mfp entry for the ingredient):

    I do not eat in the mornings.
    On rare occasions that I do anticipate having an early meal, I eat some thing that I prepared with dinner the night before.
  • Usually porridge with cinnamon, stevia and soy, almond, coconut or rice milk OR coconut yoghurt with mixed berries, quinoa or amaranth puffs and chia seeds or hemp seeds. Sometimes I'll have avocado and mushroom on toast or with vegemite or peanut butter. Ive started incorporating fruit and green smoothies also.

    This is what I had today, packed with protein and nutrients and absolutely delicious!!! I made it with mashed banana since I had no yogurt but I'll try it with yogurt next week. :smiley:

    1/2 oz. English walnuts
    1/2 Tbs dried cranberries.

    Can I use porridge oats for this or do I need to buy some special kind of oats?
