Breakfast - Tired of the Oatmeal

I do veggie scrambles, they are so good. I pretty much add whatever I have- onions, peppers, asparagus, brussel sprouts are my favorite add ins. Cook the veggies in a touch of kerrygold butter and then add 2 eggs. Nom nom nom.

I switch it up from eggs & veggies to a yummy shake with fruit and veggies. Sometimes I just do veggies with hummus, sometimes hard boiled egg whites, etc. I just found this recipe yesterday and made one last night, had it for breakfast this morning and it was delish...

One large banana chopped and slightly mashed
Two hard boiled egg whites chopped up
Two tablespoons of any kind of nut butter or seed butter (I used PB2)
Unsweetened coconut flakes
One medium apple chopped (I used green)
Handful of blueberries
Handful of nuts (I used plain raw almonds)
A dash of chia seed and a dash of turmeric

Mix it all up... it's like a Paleo oatmeal and is incredibly delicious, filling, easy to make and super healthy

I've been having blueberry or strawberry Greek yogurt and 2 eggs scrambled with 1T milk. Good protein and keeps me full until lunch. Oatmeal is a little more carbs than I'm willing to dedicate to breakfast but ymmv You might want to try toast or a small bagel with some eggs (instead of the yogurt).

I need more protein and healthy fats in the morning than oatmeal can provide, or I end up hungry all day long. I usually have egg & cheese on a whole-grain english muffin, or peanut butter on whole grain toast.

Virtually every day I have a serving of vanilla greek yogurt (I LOVE the brand Aldi's sells) with Kashi Go Lean (any variety) mixed in (about 1/2 of a serving). Sometimes I add berries. It's filling and gives you plenty of protein for the morning, though it'll be over your calorie goal, topping out at around 300.

Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches are about 250 calories, well balanced, and tasty...quick in the microwave, too. A scoop of protein powder in some milk/coffee/chocolate milk/etc... is also quick and low calorie.

Tofu scramble. Taco seasoning to taste. Mash tofu and fry like scrambled eggs. Add salsa, onions.

Put on low calorie tortilla. I use la tortilla low carb which is 70 calories for large and 45 calories for small.

I usually have a plain rice cake with peanut butter on it, not too bad, I actually have my kids eating them too. I have to avoid a lot of sodium so it gets pretty tough to even choose a good cereal. Otherwise, grab a piece of fruit, string cheese, no sugar jello, boiled hard eggs, just the whites.

Plain Greek Yogurt with half a pack of Truvia and 2-3 ounces of strawberries is a pretty low calorie breakfast. You still get your protein with the yogurt and good carbs from fruit. Or some egg whites and chicken sausage is always a good choice

I personally haven't found any breakfast that can fill me up as much as oatmeal does for the same calories, so unfortunately most of my suggestions are higher in calories than a bowl of oatmeal would be. But they're very filling to me and I enjoy them, so maybe you will too.

- I load a tortilla wrap with 100g baked chicken breast strips (I bake these every week, portion into baggies, and freeze. Then defrost overnight in the fridge when I want to use them) and a serving of hummus, then add bell pepper, tomatoes, spring onions, and mushrooms. I heat it up in a panini press and then enjoy! Approximately 350 calories, depending on the ingredients you use and the size of your tortilla. (Mine are about 48g and 150 calories each)

- I load some sandwich bread up with a sliced boiled egg, sliced deli turkey breast, tomatoes, and plenty of hot sauce. ~300 calories, depending on your bread and how much turkey you use.

- I "fry" an egg without oil in a non-stick pan, then serve in a sandwich with cheese and turkey. ~360 calories
