Sick of oatmeal.

I eat a variety of things, though lately it's been savory oatmeal (an egg and some spinach on top, for example).
Here's my thing: breakfast food is ANY food. The cereal folks have us thinking there are specific foods that are "breakfast foods".
Eat anything you like.

Egg whites & a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese, yum!

millet, teff, quinoa cooked in coconut water for some sweetness or spice it up with cinnamon,nutmeg ect.. Arrow head mills makes a puffed miller and a puffed brown rice for mornings you are in a hurry... scrambled tofu with some turnip,sweet potato or parsnip hash browns on the weekend...

I like low sugar Greek yogurt topped with some fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and/or blackberries. A light drizzle of honey and sliced almonds.

I eat based on how I feel that morning. Some days cereal, others French Toast or pancakes and eggs, sometimes oatmeal, protein powder smoothie when I'm in a hurry, yesterday was a banana with peanut butter, sometimes I grab a muffin and a piece of cheese and eat on the way. All of these fit nicely within my calories and help meet my goals.

Try nutrigrain blue berry waffles by ego. Put on fruit and add a egg as side

usually yoghurt with fruits, a few nuts and a few oats

My go to breakfast is a peanut butter and banana sandwich.

I also make egg/turkey bacon/spinach/cheese muffins. They are only 76 calories each so I can have 2 of those plus a pumpkin/zucchini muffin for around 300 calories.

Actually...I eat just about anything for breakfast as long as it is around 300 calories.

Sometimes a shake...sometimes an omelet with veggies. I have even eaten leftovers from the night before.

I also make an oatmeal/peanut butter muffin that is really good.

I don't like just plan oatmeal but I like it as an ingredient in recipes.

Bacon and eggs one piece of toast. The other day we had some crab leg left over, DW put it in an omelet! Worth just buying crab for that.

Variety. I make sure to have variety on the weekends different from the week days, and lately even wanted some variety on the weekdays. If you

When I get sick of a food I've found it's because I failed to get enough variety in my diet. I suggest a project of seven, ten, or thirty days to have a different breakfast every morning. You may find that your love affair may return. Or not. At least you will have a whole bunch of options afterwards. Here are some suggestions.

1. Do an international tour. I suggest you at least try a Norwegian and a Chinese breakfast.
2. Eat a different colour every day. Like an all orange breakfast with carrots and oranges, an all purple with blueberries and an all red with strawberries and beef tartare.
3. Do something different with eggs daily.
4. Alternate between a cereal dish, an egg based dish, a wrap, a muffin, pancake, and a smoothie.
5. Go to a Bulk Barn and pick up five grains or beans you have never tried then look up a recipe. I found out my favourite way to prepare mung beans is to sprout them.
6. Solicit suggestions from the board print them and put them in a jar. Whatever you pick you must try the next day.

Im getting sick of eating oatmeal for breakfast, i think I only eat it because it is considered "healthy".

What do you all have for breakfast. I need a change.

Thanks

Try a slice of cheese pizza or Easy Mac. Both very easy, healthy and tasty.

This morning I had lentil and vegetable soup and part of a bear claw, then a whey protein drink.

Well, sometimes I just have coffee and a couple of digestive biscuits (or just coffee), other times it's a feast of of multiple items. Yesterday it was savory crepes (meat and mushrooms) with a little bit of sour cream. I have them in the freezer so all I need to do is take them out and toss them around in a skillet with a little bit of butter for a few minutes to warm them up and make them crispy. Today it's just coffee, I think, I don't feel particularly hungry. Fridays are typically hummus, falafel, fava beans, eggs, cheese, luncheon meats, tomatoes and cucumbers, Greek yogurt, olive oil, zaatar, olives, all eaten with pita bread and sweet tea. These are hard to log, so I just pick 2-4 items and make small pita sandwiches. Sometimes I have leftovers for breakfast, and yes sometimes I have oatmeal. You don't have to eat oatmeal every day if you don't want to.

Eating oatmeal isn't the most healthy.... I actually feel guilty and indulgent when I have oatmeal.

I would think an omelet with some bell peppers and onions would serve your body better.

What is it that you find unhealthy about oatmeal? I don't eat just a bowl of oatmeal but I do add it to muffins and shakes. What is it that you find indulgent...is it the oatmeal or the things that you add to the oatmeal?
