I am a newbie to eating breakfast and I am just wondering what you all eat to give you good filling healthy start to the day?

TIA

    In the summer, I have a staple of a smoothie: 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 cup fresh spinach, 1/4 avocado, 1/4 green apple, 1/2 frozen banana and 1/2 cup frozen mangos (blend spinach and milk and then the apple and banana and then add the rest)

    In the winter my staple is: 1/2 small baked sweet potato mixed with 2 eggs, cinnamon and salt. Make it like a pancake.

    Otherwise my go-to is 1 egg with an additional white, fried and put on 1 piece of bread (sometimes with cheese, other times with jelly) (If I have a piece of bacon, that's a bonus)

    Today is prep day for me: I made scrambled eggs/egg whites, threw in leftover onions and mushrooms, a little bit of chopped ham, and divided it between small canning jars so I can eat it on the way to work in the morning. If I'm tired of eggs, I have a fruit and a greek yogurt. But I find if I eat anything other than eggs, I'm hungry too soon afterwards.

    My pre-gym breakfast is a toaster waffle with a tablespoon of peanut butter. Keeps me going for hours.

    During the week, my go-to is greek yogurt, or refrigerator oatmeal. Sometimes I have a boiled egg. On the weekends I'll sometimes splurge and have a fried egg with cheese and either salsa or avocado spread on toast.

    I keep it really simple. Rolled Oats (oatmeal in USA?) microwaved with water and toss in 100g of frozen mixed berries.

    Another option I do if I have the time is premake omelette Cups. A few egg whites and whole eggs, light ham, low fat cottage cheese, mushroom, tomato, baby spinach, onion, pepper all mixed up in a bowl and put into a muffin tin, baked in the oven for 30-40mins and then put in the fridge once cool . These make a delicious easy to prep and eat breakfast. I would typically heat them and have it on a slice of dry whole grain toast, cut in half and put into a wrap. Generally with the majority of egg whites the portion is two cups which is fairly filling. I have also put brocolli and cauliflower in them before

    1 Bowl of cereal with milk and sometimes yogurt
    1 Hard boiled egg
    2 Slices of toast with butter or margarine
    1 Cup of tea with milk and no sugar

    Cereal varies - Corn Flakes, Weetabix, Cheerios, Raisin Bran, Honey Bunches of Oats, Special K, Shredded Wheat, etc.
    Sometimes a slice of ham or cheese instead of the egg
    Alternative spreads for toast are jam, jelly, marmalade, honey, cream cheese, peanut butter, etc.
    Coffee can be used instead of tea.

    Overnight oats is my thing. I make up 4 servings at a time and just grab a container every morning. Tomorrow's is pina colada (a bit of coconut milk for flavour and pineapple tidbits on top). Last week was chocolate with peanut butter. I sometimes eat at home and sometimes eat it at work. Around 200 calories, depending on mix-ins.

    This is the one I use: http://wholefully.com/2016/03/07/8-classic-overnight-oats-recipes-you-should-try/?m
    It's more like a pudding than an oatmeal. Just ignore the "cold, uncooked oats" aspect. It's like dessert. I sweeten with stevia drops.

    I'm super boring. I have eaten an English muffin with peanut butter and a glass of milk every day for years.
