I love breakfast and am lucky (I think) to wake up hungry. But I'm tired of an egg, spinach and slice of bacon. Need some low-sugar ideas.

Try recipes at ruled.me.com. They are excellent.1

Bowl of fruit with greek yogurt on top
2 sunny side eggs with a sliced orange on the side
1 piece of toast with avocado, sliced tomato and a sunny side egg on top
1 piece of toast with almond butter, a sliced banana on top and a drizzle of honey or coconut flakes on top of that
A quest bar if I'm in a rush
Banana pankcakes (1 mashed banana, 3 tablespoons of oats, and an egg. Mix in bowl and cook like pancakes)
Also like Qia oatmeal with berries or a banana on top and some nuts or seeds so its not too bland
Smoothie!! (frozen berries, banana, spinach and protein powder is my go-to)
Small steak and eggs with a side of cottage cheese
(sorry some of them have sugar from fruit but I thought I'd throw them in their anyways)16 -
I make a lot of breakfast casseroles to meal prep for work.
They turn out like a crust less quiche.
One is sauteed onion and turkey ham, blanched broccoli, cheddar, milk and eggs.
Another is sauteed onion and kale, feta cheese, milk and eggs.4 -
Atkins.com click on recipes 1000's. Low carb.2

I have a big glass of V-8 (with some hot sauce in it, which boosts metabolism) and a hard boiled egg with Mrs. Dash seasoning on it.
If I'm in the mood for something sweeter, I have oatmeal, with peppitos (a type of pumpkin seed) or chia seeds, cranberries, a pat of butter,maple syrup and a little non dairy hazlenut coffee creamer (the liquid kind).
Another option is (in the blender) mix frozen banana, vanilla greek yogurt and fruit--fresh or frozen of your choice. Berries are a good choice, and I use frozen. Throw a little fruit juice in there, or coffee creamer when you do the frozen bananas (do that first) and then add everything else. You can have one of these any time for a snack, too. For a treat, have the bananas, yogurt with orange juice--just like an orange julius! Or instead of OJ, add coffee creamer and chocolate cocoa powder, like swiss miss. It's like a malted milk shake!
I don't tolerate ice cream very well anymore--so I really love these!

I bought a refurbished "Breville" Juicer for $45 and make my own juice every morning. It tastes better than it looks.
2 Handfuls of Kale
1 Large Cucumber
2 Granny Smith Apples (quartered and pits removed)
1/2 Lemon (rind removed)
2 (thumb sized) pieces of raw Ginger
4 Stalks of Celery
I wash everything and cut as described above. I start with the Kale and put the Lemons on top. Next is the Ginger because sometimes it is difficult to grind, so I follow that with the Celery. Finally its the Apples followed by the Cucumber. Cucumber is last because it has so much juice you have to be careful not to overflow, and it also pushes through any Apples that accidentally went skin side down and didn't completely go though.
Tastes great and provides almost 85% of my daily vitamins and minerals. The Ginger gives it a nice kick. And lastly...I hate celery too, but you can't taste it.2 -
Right now, I bake two sausages in a dish with 16 cherry tomatoes and a hash brown balanced on top. Comes in at 341 calories, 8 sugar, 4 fibre, 24 carbs, 14 protein.
When this bag of frozen sausages runs out, I'm planning to try Fry's Family Meat Free Banger Style Traditional Sausages. That will make the whole dish 315 calories, with 8 sugar, 7 fibre, 21 carbs, and 18 protein.1 -
Toasted hot cross bun 168 calories with 1 teaspoon salted butter 60 calories. Should fill you up till mid morning when you can munch on some carrot batons and sliced apple. Don't your water! Happy Easter.

My favorite morning breakfast has been butternut squash noodles with two eggs and either bacon or turkey sausage. I sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on top too. Delicious!3

We make
1. eggs in a muffin tin with peppers, mushrooms, onion, & turkey bacon.
2. Breakfast burrito with low carb flatout wrap, turkey sausage or bacon, low fat cheese, Siracha all rolled up together
3. oatmeal in the crock pot (I make enough for the week) with berries and 1 tsp sugar free maple syrup.5 -
Although it does have SOME sugar, you can experiment and change up how much you put in to match your diet in this:
Maple Chia Seed Pudding
1/4 cup chia seeds (I just buy 'em at Publix)
1 cup reduced-fat or whole milk (I found that skim didn't work as well and it doesn't keep you as full)
The recipe calls for 1/4 cup maple syrup but I am using just a few tablespoons of syrup and it's fine for me - I say between three tablespoons to 1/8 cup maple syrup depending on your sugar rules
Vanilla extract - I just use a few drops
Chopped fresh berries (I use about a cup's worth)
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
Dash cinnamon
The night before, put together vanilla, maple syrup, and milk. Shake well. Add chia seeds and shake again until everything is well mixed. Wait fifteen minutes, shake well once more, then add to fridge. THe next morning you'll have a nice pudding. Add chopped berries and almonds and eat.
It's a really nice fast breakfast, since you've made almost all of it the night before. Like I said, the actual RECIPE (from a maple-syrup cookbook) calls for a TON of sugar but I've actually removed more than half of the suggested amount and it's still really good. I'm experimenting with how little maple syrup I can use and still like the taste.
This serving, depending on how much maple syrup you use, has around 450 calories and it keeps me full for a good three to four hours after I eat.1 -
I made some really good egg muffins that might better suit what you're looking for, too:
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a muffin pan with non-stick spray.
Mix together these essentials:
7 - 9 eggs or 11 egg whites (if you want to fill the whole nine muffins for the pan and refrigerate or freeze to use later - this recipe scales really well so you can change up the amount of eggs as needed)
1/4 to 1/2 cup skim milk (depending on if you like your eggs creamy or not, I always use the larger amount)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Then you can kind of go crazy with extra additions. I have used:
Red bell pepper, feta, and kale
Bacon crumbles and spinach
red bell pepper and chives
Leftover cooked ham, diced small, and chives
Deli-sliced turkey breast, chopped up, with green bell peppers and colby jack cheese
Red bell peppers, goat cheese, and spinach
Pepper jack cheese and jalapenos
Bake for about 20 minutes, up to 25 depending on if your extras cook fast or not. Wait until the egg muffins are just starting to brown around the edges.
Just stick to about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of any single extra addition. The spinach cooks up really well inside the egg muffins but I found I had to chop the kale up SUPER small. You can really control what's in there and you don't really need much cheese - I stuck to 1/8 cup of shredded cheese for the colby jack and pepper jack and it worked fine.

This morning I made steak and egg, with coffee. It was 450 calories which honestly was a lot for me, but I was full from 7 am till 12 pm where I had a salad with protein, and then shikabob type dinner with a clear broth soup. Had a lot of protein today but I am full and honestly when was the last time I felt that satiated after a meal.0

Hi everyone - I am Serena from NZ
So I try to have breakfast on my weekdays on the bus/train straight after my workout on my way to work. So I need something substantial, refilling, (make ahead?) that doesn't need any refrigeration or heating and pretty low mess.
Last week I made a bliss ball kinda thing with Peanut Butter, Rolled Oats, Honey and Walnuts (Thinking to do a macha and chocolate flavour in the future) but would LOVE some more ideas I can prepare in advance for breakfasts for the week. Anyone got thoughts? Sorry this is my first post

English muffin with peanut butter and a fruit (I usually have a clementine). Jordan's cereals with fruit, fresh or dry takes me a long way, do not need to have a snack between breakfast and lunch.0

I Love these overnight fridge oats- made in mason jars:
1/3C oats
1/3C almond milk
1/2C Greek Yogurt
1 tsp chia seeds
1tsp honey
1tsp almond butter
Mix together and top with 1/2 C fresh or frozen fruit (I use frozen)
I make these 3-4 days ahead of time, ready in the morning to grab and go!!
Enjoy!4 -
Scrambled eggs topped with peanut butter!
I know, I know it sounds gross but don't knock it until you try it. It's so good, plus it adds protein to your diet. Tip: Use your favorite peanut butter. Try it, you'll love it!1 -

That's really interesting! I love peanut butter and eat it in and with everything I can. But I never thought of it with eggs!! I'll definitely have to give this a try!0 -
I wake between 530 and 6 and don't eat till 8am (just can't) anyway I do one of two things:
1> Boiled egg and fruit or 2 > egg in a cup. I eat this when I get to work.
I have a cool way to do boiled eggs and it works, here is the link. (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/232024/hard-boiled-eggs-in-the-oven/ ) works like a charm, I do 6 every Sunday for breakfast over the week or salads.
Egg in a cup is fun: crack egg into leak less container , add desired amount of your favorite ingredients (my new fave is cheese and pickled jalapeno) I use I cant believe its not butter that I keep at work in spray form. Spray inside of a mug, dump egg mixture, mix, stick in microwave for 1 minute, take out and stir if still to wet nuke another 15 to 30 seconds. Take a sec and eat sitting down (cool a sec) put mug in sink to soak. Off to work!
Both I can get under 300 calories with coffee in the am and it holds me till lunch (most days)2 -
I eat 2 cups of sauteed kale (small amount of veg oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder)
2 sunny side up eggs and 1 slice of whole grain toast!1 -
I make a batch of breakfast sandwiches every week. I make a mix of egg white, chopped onion, peppers, asparagus, pretty much any vegetables that I have on hand. Then I press 1/2 oz turkey sausage or bacon in the bottom of a muffin tin; then pour the egg mixture on top. I bake it in the oven for about 18 minutes at 350 degrees. I take the egg patties and put them on Thomas Light Multi Grain English Muffin with 1/4 slice of American cheese and I have breakfast for 6 days. Just zap them in the microwave (wrapped in a napkin) for 42 secs.3

A couple of ideas. #1 When frying Bacon. Cover with water in skillet and bring to a boil. Boil until all water is gone, turn down heat & fry bacon slightly. Will not become dried and over done. Drain on paper towel as there will be more grease this way.#2 As for my breakfast below 300 calories and has protein and fiber. I usually fry 2 eggs & make a cup of Oatmeal. I think the eggs and oatmeal go good together.1
-
Overnight oats! You can flavor them however you want but I just do oats, almond milk, and peanut butter.1
-
protein pancakes - help get a good amount of protein in in the morning so that you don't have to worry about it as much throughout the day (really good with some blueberries etc)

Since I am very lazy when it comes to food, this is what I usually do:
2 Weetabix "bars"
frozen raspberries
unsweetened cereals
oat milk
sometimes I add some honey
It is very filling and I find it delicious 0 -

I do something similar! I use two pieces of toast instead though, and cook an egg in the microwave. I also add a piece of low fat deli-sliced ham and a processed cheese slice, chuck it all together, and viola- a breakfast sandwich! I don't eat a lot of bread during the day, so feel ok with the two pieces of toast for breakfast. And I find it very filling!

Try this "sauce" on your food any time (including breakfast) I c whole milk greek yogurt with 1 tsp turmeric powder. YUMMY
1 -
I spread four tablespoons of hummus on a bowl or plate. I chop up a whole tomato and add that on top. Then i top with Grillmates smokehouse maple spice. 180 calories and surprisingly filling!
Or I have four pieces turkey sausage cut up really small and mixed in with a scrambled egg for 270 calories. 1 -

@happypotato
I'm not familiar with 'oat milk'
Edit: So I Googled it just now... http://ohsheglows.com/2013/01/10/homemade-oat-milk-easy-fast-cheap/ Sounds wonderful, I can see the benefits for those that can't or choose not to drink regular milk.
I'm glad I saw your post so I could learn about this!
