Your breakfast; inspire me

Peanut butter oatmeal with fresh cherries or blueberries. I just ordered PB2 to cut down on calories, but this is by far my favorite breakfast.

I juice some fruit and eat a hard boiled egg.

When I scramble my eggs: I use 1 whole egg, 3 egg whites add 1/2 a package of Buddig meat, chopped up..once done, I add 2 tblsps Salsa on the eggs and sprinkle on some shredded cheese...

I just started doing the Oatmeal in a Bowl: 1 cup of water & 1 cup of oats(quick cook or otherwise)..stir together in a bowl, cover and let it sit in Fridge overnight...the next day take out 1/2 a cup and add your favorite toppings to it...(You can warm it up a bit in the microwave especially if you;re going to add PB and want it to melt into it...
It's a bit thick but still very yummy and filling...

If I am awake for breakfast (yaaay summer), I usually just have a bowl of cereal with a literal splash of skim milk. If it's more lunch time, or if I'm in the mood for lunch... well, anything goes.

It varies for me, but I have several favorites.
1. Yogurt parfait with granola and fresh fruit (bananas, strawberries, raspberries, etc.)
2. Omelet
3. Oatmeal
4. Bagel with cream cheese (not the healthiest)

Mine is boring but I don't think I'll ever tire of it. Same thing every day. Cheese omelet, turkey bacon, toast. Then 2nd breakfast a couple hours later: oatmeal w/ peanut butter and a 4oz shot of chocolate whey protein.

Taso, are you really a hobbit?

I usually have fruit salad with muesli yoghurt, or oatmeal with pear and cinnamon, or fruit muffin with peanut butter and banana.

Weekend breakfast is usually eggs - my favourite is "Hell's Eggs" (my version of a cafe favourite):
I whip up a quick tomato sauce with chopped onion, garlic, chilli, tinned tomatoes and any veggies hanging around, then break whole eggs into the sauce and cook them in the sauce - either on the stovetop or in the oven.
If its in the oven a sprinkle of grated cheese and some worchestershire sauce on top makes it even better.

I will saute onion, mushroom, spinach and imitation crab then pour on scrambled 1-2 eggs mixed with a little water. sprinkle some season salt and pepper and YUM!

I chop up the onions and mushrooms at the beginning of the week to speed things up.

There's a million things you can add to oatmeal! Get creative. Cheese and crushed red pepper makes for a really savory delicious dish. Cinnamon apples would also be good.

For eggs, try vegetable fritatas.
This recipe looks great, though I haven't tried it. Add cheese, or whatever you like!

You could also try making breakfast burritos, though you could opt out of the tortilla if you want it healthier. Scramble some eggs, the throw some organic canned beans (pinto or black) in the pan. Corn, cheese, onions, garlic, bell peppers, spicy peppers, tomatoes, salsa, potatoes, etc. Yummy and lots of protein between the eggs and beans.

And my favorite: homemade granola. Make a huge batch at the beginning of the week and you just have to pour yourself a bowl in the morning. I researched several recipes before creating my own so that it was the healthiest possible.

Sometimes, if I don't have any nuts, I just use rolled oats and honey and throw it on the pan. But sliced almonds and sunflower kernels make it extra delicious and add protein. If you measure out exactly how much of everything you use when making it, you can figure out the calorie content for the whole batch. You can also add dried fruit like cranberries, or any type of nuts you want.

Basically, take about 4-6 cups rolled oats, whatever amount of nuts and other ingredients that you like, (I usually use about a cup of each type of nuts/seeds). Add a little hot water to 1/2 cup honey-1 cup honey. Organic maple syrup also works really well. I also add a lot of cinnamon and vanilla extract to the honey for flavor. Mix it in with your oat and nut mixture until it's thoroughly coated. You may have to add more honey/maple syrup or oats. I usually don't measure and just throw stuff in the bowl until it looks yummy. Spread it out on a cookie sheet so it's sort of in little chunks, but not all touching. Bake at 325 for 10 minutes, take it out, and use a spatula to move it all around and essentially "flip", then bake for another 10 minutes. You can keep baking it a little longer if you like, but don't let it burn!

Other people like to add brown or white sugar, olive oil, and other ingredients that I don't add. I find that mine turns out sweet enough and fairly healthy without all the other crap.

I've also just mixed oats and honey and rolled them into cookie shaped patties before and cooked those. Essentially, they were just giant granola chunks, but I found them delicious and such an easy snack!

Granola is tasty with fresh fruit, yogurt, milk, or on it's own. Just beware of the unhealthy store brands. Make your own. And be creative. It's so addictive.

Overnight oats with greek yogurt instead of milk, frozen wild blueberries, banana, cinnamon, vanilla, ginger (all mixed the night before), and in the morning, add either unsweetened shredded coconut or almond butter. LOVE. Or I'll add cocoa powder the night before and frozen raspberries.

Sometimes I'll have two eggs fried in farm butter (but leave the yolk runny) with chives sprinkled on top, eaten with two slices of Ezekiel bread (regular). Or an omelette with goat cheese and whatever veggies I have around, with the same Ezekiel toast.

My post-exercise breakfast, if I've burned a LOT, is two slices of cinnamon raisin Ezekiel bread, each spread with almond butter and wrapped around a banana. Like a delicious cinnamony banana taco.

I clearly love breakfast a little TOO much... :x

Both of these sound so good!

Most days I eat Kashi Go Lean Toasted Berry Crumble and instead of milk, I use an 80 cal. yogurt. I like the sweet of the yogurt and the crunch of the Kashi, very tasty. Sometimes I will have fruit with it.

2 hard boiled egg whites, large coffe with cinnamon sprinkled in it and a splash of whole milk, Sometimes ill scramble the eggs whites and throw in some fresh cut scallions, sometimes fresh tomato. If I'm still hungray after that I 'll have a banana.

I love blueberry and apple porridge with a handful of crushed bran flakes and some chopped nuts mixed in before cooking. Or if I'm having a slightly more naughty day, I'll have two slices of wholemeal or seeded bread, with peanut butter (smooth or crunchy, I love it all) and strawberry jam. It's so delicious.

I love a crumpet with a bacon medallion and poached egg on top. The husband substitutes the bacon for spinach which is less cals but no where near as tasty!
