Healthy breakfast ideas?

My 2 favorites:

Quick and dirty: A bowl of oatmeal with a dash of cinnamon (40g of rolled oats and 1 cup water in the microwave for 2 minutes)

When I have a little more time: 1 poached egg, 1 whole grain English muffin (egg on one side and a tsp of butter and a teaspoon of jam on the other), 1 5.3 oz container of Greek yogurt.

I like to have a protein smoothie, consisting of a whole banana, half cup of blueberries, half cup of Fage greek yogurt and two tsps of chia seeds, and a medjool date if available.(2 scoops of Whey protein)

Oatmeal, egg, yogurt

Here's one that's yummy:
Combine a ripe smashed banana with 1/2 cup rolled oats (not quick), 3/4 cup milk of choice, 1/2 t vanilla, 1.5 T unsweetened cocoa powder and dash of salt. Cook according to directions on oats can. You can add a sweetener if you like (although I find if the banana is pretty ripe I don't need one) and any toppings (like nuts, nut butter, even chocolate chips) or add more protein by stirring in some protein powder (which is what I do)

I usually have greek yoghurt with Berries and nuts - either Almonds or walnuts.
Or omlettes with different fillings - cheese and spinach is my favourite - with toast.

-2 eggs, toast, tomato, maybe avocado (typical weekend breakfast)
-steel cut oats, plain yogurt, maple syrup (other typical weekend breakfast)
-Vega One shake with plain yogurt (typical weekday breakfast)
-Frittata: eggs, potato or chickpeas, various vegetables and fresh herbs, feta (ease make ahead)

During the week I throw together a smoothie. I thaw half a cup of frozen berries in the fridge overnight. Into the blender with half a cup of greek yoghurt, a quarter cup of Fibre 1 cereal, a scoop of Vega Protein & Greens, and enough fake milk to make 2 cups total. My milk was just discontinued so I'm trying to find a new one I like.

On weekends it's eggs of some type. Either I've made egg muffins and can pull a few out of the fridge, or I scramble a couple with mushrooms, onions, a tablespoon or so of shredded cheese, and a protein of some kind. I almost always have chicken bacon in the fridge, but this morning I shredded some leftover salmon into it 😋

2 egg Omelet
1/2 cup oatmeal
English muffin whole grain
Boiled eggs
Bacon
Coffee
Some times I eat dinner or lunch meals for breakfast just depends if I have left overs and don't want to cook or what I'm in the mood for.

Altogether? I've been adding an egg to my oats and like the idea of decreasing oats and adding yogurt to get my carbs lower and protein higher.

@kshama2001 that would be great, if you have the calories—I don’t. I have a Greek yogurt (140 cal) or apple and cinnamon oatmeal packet (130 cal) or an egg in a small taco-sized tortilla (145 cal). That and coffee creamer is my breakfast, pretty much everyday. I like it and it works for me.

I spent three years in a yoga retreat center and ashram where I had oatmeal up to 7 days a week. (The Monday cook made millet, but if she was out it was oatmeal )

After that, I was unbelievably sick of oatmeal.

But that ended in 2004, and I am trying to eat it again, because this time of year I want something warm. And moderate to high fiber, moderate protein, moderate fat, and low saturated fat. (Once the weather turned cold I was eating two eggs, a tiny turkey breakfast sausage patty, and veggies, but the fats were higher than I wanted.)

This morning I had oats, an egg, yogurt, chia seeds, ground ginger, and blackstrap molasses (I'm anemic.) It was great! I've been experimenting with oatmeal and liked it best this way. Sweeter than it needed to be, so I will cut down on the molasses. Probably have half in the oatmeal and half elsewhere.

So even though it's not what you meant, thanks for the idea

On my off work days I make an omelette/frittata after I do my Elliptical. Usually around 11 AM-1 PM, then just eat supper(meat and vegetable) and maybe a snack in the evening(some Rebel ice cream or recently sugar free jello with homemade whipped cream).
2 eggs
2 cups spinach
2 oz bell pepper
1 oz shredded cheese
4 slices bacon

Work days a low carb protein shake for breakfast, fast and easy and out the door.

On weekdays, I usually have a smoothie (banana, soy milk, Vega protein, spinach/kale, chia seeds, and flax seeds) or oatmeal (frozen berries, oats, cinnamon, peanut butter, chia seeds, hemp seeds) which usually ends up being around 500 calories.

On weekends, I have a bit more time and like to load up my calories and have leftovers. I really like making protein pancakes (plain protein powder, baking powder, flour, sugar-free syrup, salt, and water) or tofu scramble (extra-firm tofu, spinach, mushrooms, tomato, turmeric, pepper, garlic, soy sauce, and onion) with pinto bean sausage (beans, oat flour, bean liquid, sugar-free syrup, and sausage seasonings), toast, and jalapeno blackberry jam. I also sometimes make veggie hash with beans, tempeh, and gravy, especially in colder months. These are usually 600-700 calories, depending on toppings.

If I feel like prepping, I usually do the bean sausages and some kind of baked oatmeal (I love apple butter baked oats) or muffins with soy yogurt and fruit. I also like breakfast burritos and english muffin breakfast sandwiches. Really just stuff that I can kind of grab and go with. I try to keep these around 500 calories.

With getting the kids to school and myself to work on time, I'm on the go in the mornings, and on the go early, so it's usually one of my green smoothie recipes and a couple boiled eggs. I usually make the smoothies the night before and boil enough eggs for the week in my Instantpot on Sunday evenings.

6 oz of Fage 0%, 5 oz of fresh fruit(pineapple, mango, cherries, grapes, strawberries) 1/2-1 oz of Grain-Free Granola, Vanilla Almond Butter + MCT + 16 oz of coffee with an 1 oz of half and half

Amost always, egg sandwich consisting of 1 egg, 2 slices Killer Dave's Bread, 1/2 avocado (medium or small).
This morning grits, 1 egg and 1 slice of Killer Dave's bread. Both under 396 calories I am allotted per meal.
