Breakfast ideas?

There are some good meal ideas in the breakfast section of the site I linked. I am trying something new these days: I assign myself a breakfast of the week, then I change it the next week, and that is encouraging me to try different things and variations of favourites. My issue is more preparedness than variety, so having the breakfast planned and/or ready to go is what I need.6 -
Leftovers from dinner work well.6

I tried this from the mfp blog a week ago. Was super delicious, cheap, easy, and low calorie.
Easy Apple Pancakes
Of course the real maple syrup I topped them with was less calorie-friendly, but totally worth it!3 -
I like biscuits and gravy. But biscuits are calorie bombs. I make a sausage gravy with a mix of almond flour and whole wheat flour. It ended up as 248 calories/serving as measured when I plugged all the ingredients in and split it into four servings.
Instead of biscuits, I make an SoS using two slices of Healthy Life bread (70 calories for the two slices) and save about 500 calories that would have been in the two biscuits I once used.
Add a cup of fruit to round it out. So right around 400 calories give or take depending on the volume of fruit.
My typical three egg omelette with three slices of center cut bacon, two cups of fajita pepper mix and 28g of taco cheese is right around the same calorie load.
Some days, I remove an egg and a slice of bacon and have a banana or a cup of fruit.
Today I had a tomato and spinach quiche at a local coffee shop with my bicycling group. Estimate that to be around 350 calories based on other vegetable quiche recipes.

Hi y'all,
I need some new meal ideas for my first meal if they day! For some reason I can never figure out what to eat and I'm kinda getting bored of the same ole eggs or oatmeal!!
Quick and easy favourites for me, when I'm not enjoying delicious savoury oatmeal or dense and loaded egg breakfast bites, sometimes are:- Breakfast risotto
- Breakfast noodles soup
- Breakfast pizza, quiche, pie
ETA: Add to list3 -
Thank you! Got some new fun ideas!!!

I usually have
2xweetbix
1/2 cup trim milk (or 1 cup if you like I just don’t like it too soggy)
Half banana
all together, I love it!

An interesting read on the history of breakfast and why we connect it with certain foods~

A different way to try eggs that I just saw on YouTube (and wanna try myself!): Sauté any veggies you'd like in a pan until they've wilted down. She used chopped green peppers and onions, but anything you'd like would work! Whisk eggs (she used five, but she was also meal prepping for the week. I'd say two eggs is a good serving size for an individual) together with a small spoonful of ready-to-eat bacon bits. Pour over your heated veggies and scramble. Once the mixture is cooked, place in a tortilla (she used Extreme Wellness wraps for 50 cals a piece), sprinkle on some reduced fat cheddar (optional), and roll into a burrito. Placing it seam side down in an Airfryer, allow to crisp up for 15 minutes at 425 degrees. I don't own an Airfryer myself, so I'd have to figure out the exact time in an oven. She served with a side of salsa. The breakfast taquito looked so good when finished! Serve with a side of fresh fruit or something of that nature.
Another idea--and one I've tried and loved--is a toasted bagel thin with a Laughing Cow cheese wedge instead of cream cheese. I top mine with cucumber slices and hot sauce for zero calories, and paired it with some cottage cheese for protein 6 -
For a quick, easy breakfast on weekdays, I like to have a lite english muffin toasted, cook a 1-2 pieces of turkey bacon, scramble an egg, spread a little bit of mashed avocado on the muffin - add the turkey bacon and egg - and have a decently healthy breakfast sandwich.4
-
Oatmeal with Splenda brown sugar, walnuts, & raisins or Craisins. Let it sit a bit, stir, & enjoy.1
-
I know someone who mixes avocado with honey and spreads it on toast or English muffins. Going to try it myself.5
-
Some of the things I have done are fruit smoothies with almond milk, and vanilla extract, protien iced coffees, and banana oatmeal pancakes0

Quick and easy favourites for me, when I'm not enjoying delicious savoury oatmeal or dense and loaded egg breakfast bites, sometimes are:- Breakfast risotto
- Breakfast noodles soup
- Breakfast pizza, quiche, pie
ETA: Add to list- Open face breakfast sandwiches (or loaded toasts, panini, jaffle iron sandwiches).
- Breakfast sausages and hash browns (the usual potatoes or cauliflower etc). * An MFP friend of mine had chicken and hash browns from 8ish his am for his 1st feed yesterday.

Here are my favorite easy and healthy breakfasts:
- overnight oats with fruit, pecan pieces, cinnamon, and vanilla almond milk
- mashed avocado (mixed with garlic power, salt and pepper) on whole wheat toast with sliced tomato and red onion
- cottage cheese with avocado, diced tomato, red onion, and black pepper
- greek yogurt with a little honey and whatever fruit I have around the house
- Chickpea scramble breakfast bowl
My favorite unhealthy breakfast food is breakfast tacos loaded with lots of cheese, bacon, eggs, avocado, and salsa. Yum! I only eat them on special occasions now.0 -
How about chocolate pudding for breakfast!0
-
Sorry about above typed it all out and then something went wrong with posting so will try again.
Chocolate Pudding Breakfast
1 oz oats
3 fl oz coconut milk
3 fl oz Greek yogurt
1 tsp cacao powder
1 tsp chia seeds
1 med banana
Blitz and pour into bowl and leave to thicken for a minute or two. I worked it out to be around 277 calories. I often add a few raspberries or blueberries on top.
It tastes so creamy and naughty!0 -
I make the same smoothie every morning ( I’m a creature of habit lol). 1 cup milk ( usually 2% or lower to help on calories ), 1 Cup raw spinach, 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa, 1 tbsp PB2, 1 tbsp raw honey, and a banana. Sometimes some strawberries too. I serve over ice with straw.1
-
I do different things depending upon the season.
Overnight Steal Cut Oats
Omelets
Protein Balls
Crustless Quiche
Greek Yogurt with Granola and Fresg Fruit
Cottage Cheese with Fresh Fruit and almonds
Protein Shakes
Smoothies
Breakfast Wraps (think breakfast burrito but inside a lettuce leaf)
Protein Pudding with fresh berries
My children’s favorite is “Ice Cream”
1/2 cup quinoa 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt, 1 cup frozen strawberries 2 chunks frozen pineapple... I stick all of it into my vitamin turn on low 2 for a quick count to 5 flip to high and do a slow count to 5 and the turn off. Comes out like soft serve ice cream. Makes 3 servings.
I also do things like pancakes, waffles, muffins, and coffee cake. I have a pretty standard method to make any baked good healthy.
If a recipe calls for 1 cup sugar and 2 1/2 cups flour I make the following adjustments. It never changes the consistency or taste but adds a little more healthy to it. I even do this to cookies!
sugar = 2/3 sugar 1/3 applesauce (I make my own by throwing an apple in the vitamix and waiting for it to look like applesauce)
Flour = 1/2 cup quinoa flour 1/4 ground flax seed 1/4 almond flour 1 1/2 cups flour0 -
Eggs and oats blahhhhh breakfast should be fun you can be flexible it just depends on your goals.
Yogurt with pistachio, hemp seeds, watermelon seeds protein punch. What toast with avocado spread over easy egg. Salmon with strawberries. I do tigernut flour crepe really good.2 -
My fave breakfast that I have every day:
2x pieces toast
1x thin slice lean ham
1x slice processed cheese
1x egg, cooked omelette-style.
= one breakfast sandwich that keeps me satisfied till lunchtime2 -
I make a batch of sausage and egg biscuits and freeze them for my husband to heat up throughout the week for his breakfast. They're very good, reheat well, and only take about 90 seconds in the microwave.1
-
I'm going to have a sandwich today.
Eat any food you would eat at other times of the day for breakfast if you want to expand your horizons. I like soup for breakfaat.1 -
Pancakes for the win. Decorated with imperfect frozen fruit and yogurt.1

There is no rule that states you need to eat "breakfast" foods for breakfast. Pot roast, fajitas, eggplant parmesan, and tandoori chicken are all prefectly fine meals for breakfast. The same goes for every other meal as well; there's no rule stating that eggs and pancakes aren't allowed for dinner.1

I have a protein shake lol. Minimal effort required1

I love the simplicity of 3/4 cup plain greek yogurt (I cannot stand fat free but maybe you can?), I add 1 Tbs. raw honey and top with 1/3 cup light granola and a handful of blueberries. The Greek yogurt is very protein rich so it keeps me full all morning. Mmmmm. (just under 300 calories) Also sometimes will eat scrambled egg whites with spinach and feta but that requires a bit of prep work here at work..... the yogurt is the easiest and both keep me full.1
