I am starting on Phase Two (Atkins) and I wanted to get some breakfast/smoothie ideas. I usually been eating deviled eggs and Vienna sausages, but now I'm officially tired of it.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Bacon and sausage. Or meat left over from the night before.0

I just always remind myself that just because it's the first meal of the day doesn't mean it has to be certain foods. I've made giant salads for breakfast before (not sure of the phase 2 carb restrictions so that may not work!) or had just leftover like LowCarb4Me suggested. A meal is a meal, food is food. Don't worry too much about what time of day you "should" eat certain foods. Eat what makes you happy. :-)2

That's true. I guess I'm looking for something that isn't so heavy.0 -
Greek yogurt...with berries. I add flaxseed meal too.0

Coffee or tea0 -
I have coffee - 1 1/2 cups black, 1 1/2 cups with HWC. I don't usually eat food before noon.0

I just have a BPC. Then, I eat lunch at about 2pm, depending on how hungry I feel.... I made my H a steak with two fried eggs and sauteed mushrooms for breakfast, the other day. he thought he'd died and gone to heaven.....0

Hey there! I put an ounce of hwc in a microwave safe measuring cup then fill rest to a cup with water. Nuke it for one minute. While it's warming, put three T of chia seed in a small lidded container (I use a cleaned tostitos dip jar) Add your sweetener, to taste, to the liquid, and any vanilla or other flavoring you want, pour over seed and vigorously stir. Let it stand for about ten minutes, stirring it a couple of more times then put it in the fridge overnight. Bam, chia pudding breakfast!2

Full fat cottage or ricotta cheese You could add some nuts and/or berries.0

What's a BPC?0 -
BulletProof Coffee. It's coffee melded with coconut oil and butter.
It sounds absolutely revolting, but actually, once blended at high speed, it's really rather good. Many people add thick cream, and some sweetener, but me, I just like it simple....

I like a really spicey pork & veggie stir-fry to break my fast. Spicier the better.
You don't need to limit yourself to 'breakfast' foods just because the clock is before noon. If you're tired of eggs, eat literally anything else.

I staggered, still half-drunk, into a Vietnamese place about an hour before they opened a few years ago in Vegas. They served me. As I'm sitting there slurping my pho the woman who runs the joint sits down and begins chatting; says she doesn't see many white people come in for soup in the morning. "That's a funny thing about Americans," she observes, "you guys think there are breakfast foods and dinner foods. The rest of the world just has food."16 -
Yes, I agree, @Steph_Maks, we have become conditioned over the years to accept certain foods for certain meals. But when you learn about other cltures, you find variants on a theme... Here is a link. I think there may be a common thread, but the variety is wonderful!0

While that post was very interesting there were WAY too many bready delights pictured for me to look too long..... I truthfully think I just miss a nice piece of fresh baked bread (quality) more than any of the other sweets, etc. combined. 0 -

I agree... My point was that if you examine the different breakfasts closely, they all resemble one another with regard to proteins, carbs and fats... no matter whether you look at a Turkish breakfast or a Japanese one, they have similar components, even if the ingredients differ....

I would kill for a Pho for breakfast! I already eat Kimchi with any morning ham and eggs I eat!0 -

It sounds even worse to add an egg but it tastes devine.1 -
Coffee with coconut oil blended in it. Bone broth really can the the spot. If I want a toast like experience, I use these:
http://cavemanketo.com/faux-bread-quest-holy-grail-almond-buns/
I found them a tad to buttery (yes, there is such a thing) so I cut the butter down to 4 TBS. and they are still very buttery, but they behave more like a real piece of toast now. I bought a muffin top pan to make these. DH loves'em too. You can make them on parchment paper or a silicon pad, but the muffin top pan gives a better result.
Toast them up in a toaster oven, and slap some almond butter on them, you're good to go for HOURS.

I make my own Keto cereal, I use Bob's Red Mill coconut flakes unsweetened and sliced almonds, I toast both separately in the oven (250 degrees until lightly toasted pay attention they can go quickly from perfect to burnt) 1/2 cup of coconut and 2 tbs of almonds with 1/2 cup coconut or almond milk unsweetened, hit's the spot and tastes just like cereal, to me and my kids! They love it so bonus! I cut off the fat calorie etc part of the pic but 11g total carbs 4 net carbs ( or 5 I'm still not sure if you count the gram of fiber from the coconut/almond milk? So I always count it as 5g carbs) 313 calories 7g protein 11g fat and 85g sodium You can also add in some dark chocolate chunks I haven't tried it that way yet but it sounds good

I usually have coffee with HWC and don't eat food until >1pm.
But sometimes I take 8 oz coconut almond milk (it's a refrigerated blend I found that doesn't have thickeners) and mix it with 1/4c chia seeds. Let it refrigerate overnight and have half of it sprinkled with hemp hearts and cocoa nibs and some berries.1 -

True that *kitten*! I have my sourdough starter sitting in stasis in my freezer just waiting for the day when I can pull him out, revive him, and bake a delicious crusty loaf again. I'll probably consume the entire thing in one sitting.I truthfully think I just miss a nice piece of fresh baked bread (quality) more than any of the other sweets, etc. combined.0 -
If you have a regular meal, you can always cut the portion in half if you think it's too much. Chicken salad is a nice change of pace 0

Ricotta cheese... add some sweetener of choice and it tastes like cheesecake Can be used to make smoothies too (in place of protein powder). 0

Breakfast today consisted of grilled kalamari rings and button mushroom omlette, with a side of 2 Leerdammer slices.
My H: "F*** me woman, you are weird!"
(tastes it)
..."It is strangely nice though....."
Conclusion: if you're tired of eggs, dress 'em up weird.....2 -
I like a can of good chunk tuna in olive oil, mixed with Pataks Hot Lime Pickle and a dab of mayo scooped up with cucumber coins.
Savoury and awesome. (I used to eat this on GF toast for breakfast, but now too many carbs)1
