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)4 -
Some of my go-to breakfasts:
Greek yogurt
Mini egg frittatas
Overnight oats
Steel cut oats with fruit & protein powder
Bagel thin with whipped cream cheese and lox
Mashed avocado on toast
Blueberry pancakes (I eat mine with Greek yogurt instead of syrup)
Scrambled eggs & veggies
Leftovers from yesterday
Eggs on toast
Fried egg on a sandwich slim with cheese
Protein shake with fruit, yogurt, & protein powder
Fried egg on a multigrain waffle
Fried egg and hummus on a toasted sandwich thin1 -
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.2

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.1

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 before1 -
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
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.1 -
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.
