Help with breakfast.

A lot of time I just have cereal. Cheerios with protein or something similar. If I want something different I'll have toast, bagels, eggs, turkey sausage, bacon, Greek yogurt, instant oatmeal, instant grits, or sometimes I'll just have "regular" food for breakfast.

I've been making overnight oats. I am not a morning person, and am never super hungry in the morning. So this is great because you can make it the night before and put it in the fridge for the morning! Tastes like a slightly soggy cereal, but I add blueberries and bananas and it's great!

Bowl of cereal with milk or soy milk and a banana; or Greek yogurt, a quarter cup granola, and some fruit sweetened with stevia; peanut butter and sugar-free marmalade on a Brownberry sandwich thin (100 cals). If I have a little more time, I like a breakfast burrito made with a high-fiber tortilla or flatbread, eggs, turkey bacon, some shredded cheese, and salsa. Or sometimes a protein powder smoothie.

I too have a hard time getting motivated to eat breakfast then I came across an easy breakfast cookie. I only have to make them once every ten days and they are a breeze to make.

NUTTY CHEWY Breakfast Cookie

1½ cups quick-cooking steel cut oats

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/3 cup raisins/Craisins/ or dried blueberries
1/3 cup In kernel pumpkin seeds

1/3 cup unsalted, roasted sunflower seeds

1/3 cup unsalted, toasted sliced almonds

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

2 large eggs, beaten

1/3 cup canola oil

1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with aluminum foil, oil or coat with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.
2. Whisk together the oats, whole wheat flour, raisins, sunflower seeds, almonds, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, honey, brown sugar, and vanilla until well blended. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients, and stir until just moistened.
4. Working in batches, use a ¼-cup measuring cup to scoop the batter and place on the prepared baking sheets, flattening slightly with the bottom of the measuring cup to create circles, about 3 inches in diameter. Leave about 2 inches between each cookie. If the batter starts to stick to the inside of the measuring cup, spray with cooking spray or simply wipe clean with a paper towel.
5. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, about 12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown on the bottom. Cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring the cookies to a wire rack.

Hungry Girl and Eggbeaters have tons of egg mug recipes on their websites. Basically you can make a microwave omelet in a minute and a half. I have even made them ahead and then microwaved in the morning. You can use 2 whole eggs or egg substitute, both work. Anything you put in a scramble, omelet or quiche works in an egg mug. soupspiceeverythingnice.blogspot.com/2016/08/masonable-mondays-2-scrambles.html

I blend 3 bananas and a cup of strawberries with hemp seeds and some water every morning

What is a good thing to make that is easy and fast for breakfast. I need help. This is always so hard for me.

You could always wake up early so it doesn't have to be "fast" ... you can also meal prep so that it is easy for at least 3-4 days in a row and then meal prep again.

Another vote for overnight oats here. So easy.

I'm a crabby cuss when I'm working the early shift, so on those days, usually a protein powder smoothie, spinach, fruit, flax, and protein powder. When I'm not on early shift, I will cook. Usually eggs and pancakes.

Studying my intakes against low calorie days has shown me one thing.
As fattening as they are, scrambled eggs must suppress the appetite. Porridge doesn't seem to do that for me.
So just a cupful of fluffy egg. Maybe add a sliver of smoked salmon.

arugula almond butter whole wheat toast with celery sticks and grated carrot, grated pear.

Sounds yummy.

I need protein in AM-that can be meat, eggs, peanut butter or protein powder added to a smoothie, but "just" carbs-cereal, porridge, etc doesn't fill me up without some substantial protein. This week I made a batch of congee (rice porridge) and have had 1.5 cups every morning with shredded chicken, scallions, sautéed spinach, soy sauce and furikake. Savory rather than sweet, which is my preference.
