I'd love to know what you guys make for breakfast in the mornings! I feel like I'm in a funk...I usually always eat my hot oat bran cereal with a banana or cereal with a banana. Inspire me!

Thanks!

    My current go-to favorite is: 2 eggs ("fried" on a teflon pan with a smidge of cooking spray) ... then I put them on a plate, put a little bit of grated parmesan cheese on them and top them with slices of roma tomatoes! It hits right about 200 calories, so if you need/want more cals in the am you can add some whole wheat toast and I always add a cup of coffee to that! ;)

    This morning I had 2 slices of bacon, 4 cups of raw spinach sauteed and topped with goat cheese and 2 scrambled eggs. Super tasty and less than 400 calories. I also drank about 6 cups of fresh ginger root tea that I sweetend with stevia.

    I have high fiber cereal, greek yogurt and fruit . Comes out above 400 calories but breakfast is my most important meal as it provides fuel for my workout a couple hours later :D

    Half a cup of oats
    An egg
    Frozen rasberries or blueberries
    mix together and zap in the microwave for 2 minutes

    Top with 1/2 cup of yogurt

    Super filing (because of the egg) a little bit sweet from the fruit and yummy.

    My no-brainer go-to is 2% fat plain Greek Yogurt (i like Fage brand) with cut up fruit and some agave nectar for sweetener. Sometimes i add cereal with fiber. Love it and it sticks with me!

    I often have a green smoothie (see the book or website of Victoria Boutenko) with a side of raw almonds and/or dates. Or I have peanut butter or almond butter and banana on sprouted grain Ezekiel brand bread. Another favorite of mine is veggie bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado on whole wheat or Ezekiel toast with mustard. Or a huge homemade fruit and nut salad sprinkled with ground flaxseed. I also like a variety of cooked grains - anything from oatmeal, quinoa, rice to grits or corn meal - which I will mix with nuts (e.g. walnuts, cashews, pecans, etc.) and dried fruits (e.g. raisins, dates, berries) for a sweet taste or with sauteed veggies and herbs for a savory taste. All of these are made without dairy or animal products.

    I do a Siggi's icelandic style yogurt (it's more or less incredible, try it) and a protein shake. Together it's 240 calories and 39g of protein. The last couple days, however, I've been jazzing it up (I'm ever so daring) with a tsp of jam and - most recently - half of a mini chocolate cheesecake. It's all of 294 calories and 43g of protein assuming I still have room for the shake!

    I'd love to see this too - I'm sick to death of breakfast. I'm eating one slice of microwaved bacon and one egg and one slice of whole wheat toast. I'm quite sick of it. I'd love some new ideas so I'm anxious ot see what comes up. (OH - and I'm new here - this is actually my first post - lol).

    I usually always have 1/2 cup dry porridge oats, cooked with 1 cup of almond/soy/coconut milk depending on what I've bought (this takes about 3 minutes in a pot on the stove) then to that I add stevia for sweetness, ground cinnamon to control blood sugar levels and hinder cravings, and a chopped banana to get some fruit in! I sprinkle the cinnamon on top of the banana instead of mixing it into the oats as I love it that way! Also sometimes throw on top some fresh berries when I have them, walnut pieces or chopped almonds, and I'd have some grapefruit (fresh) and coffee on the side :) Very delicious and filling!

    Most mornings I just have a bowl of Oat-so-simple Honey & almond flavour porridge :)

    That or 2 slices of seeded brown bread - with a bit of butter.

    I grate an apple in to 50g of porridge oats and around 30ml of skimmed milk. Mix it around and let it steep for 5 minutes (enough time to brew and make a cup of tea!) and then add 70g of fresh raspberries and a dollop of low fat yoghurt. It's fresh and tasty and only around 300 calories.

    I usually have a poached egg on toast or a crumpet with olive oil spread, and a cup of tea. Comes out at 226ish to 260ish depending on the crumpet or bread. The protein in the egg definitely keeps me feeling fuller for longer.

    wholemeal english muffin (not sure if that is what you call them there?) topped with a few thin slices of cheese & tomato. Or I use ricotta or cottage cheese.

    1 egg omelette with pepper with a slice of munster cheese melted over it and folded to fit on an english muffin, yummy!! About to eat mine right now =]

    320 calories, because I cook with margarine instead of cooking spray
