Hi everyone I could do with some suggestions!

I love having eggs for breakfast, especially scrambled, but I am getting a little bored with them, and I try to vary it and have cereals some day and fruit etc - but does anyone have any yummy/easy hot breakfast ideas or things they love to eat??

    i will take my greek yogurt and add frozen strawberries and 1/2 a banana and a splash of milk and make a smoothie! It is cold but so yummy. Works better in the summer. Cool and refreshing after an early morning work out!

    Rye bread with peanut butter, banana slices on top of it, and a small bowel of fruit. Tried it today because I saw it on some websites and it was delicious~!

    Other than that, yes, oat meal is also a wonderful choice~
    Add some cinnamon, bananas, and some nuts of choice. Nomnomnom.

    Oatmeal with honey and/or with fresh fruit. Yogurt with fresh fruit. Omlette with diced veggies. No matter what I have I always finish with a rice cake to give me that full feeling.

    Hey, I see you're a fellow UK inhabitor which makes suggestions a little easier:

    hot sweet breakfast ideas:

    Baked Peach/Nectarine served with crumbled amaretti biscuits on top and a dollop of greek yoghurt- drizzled with a little honey. (Can sub biscuits for chopped nuts, and yoghurt for low fat creme fraiche/marscopne cheese).

    Baked apple, with a hollow stuffed with cinnamon, raisins/sultanas and served with greek yoghurt/creme fraiche.

    1 waffle (or 2 small breakfast panackes) served with fresh berries and home-made coulis. & dollop of yoghurt.

    Savoury hot breakfasts

    1 low cal tortilla (ie: weight watchers) stuffed with creamy mushrooms & spinach (Sautee sliced mushrooms in spray oil, add a dollop of extra light philadelphia- add garlic if you wish, and stir in spinach).

    Stuffed tomato- Chop the top off a beef tomato & hollow out. Make a filling by grilling & crumbling som lean bacon (or turkey bacon), mix through some breadcrumbs, chopped peppers/mushrooms and stuff. Bake for 20 mins.

    Crumpet rarebit- make a rarebit mixture using a little grated low fat cheddar, a tsp of mustard, 2 tsp of creme fraiche and a dash of worcestershire sauce. Mash into a paste and spread onto a crumpet and grill.

    I add two egg whites to my oatmeal, lots of cinnamon, and frozen blueberries. Very yummy and filling with a good carb / protein balance.

    I have wheat biscuits with a little milk to soften them. Sometimes I treat myself to 1/4 spoon of sugar to sweeten it up but it also works great with most fruits too! That way I never get bored.

    I either have eggs with fruit or greek yogurt with fruit. I have to get that protein in. Sometimes I'll add in some bacon (or turkey bacon) for an extra boost, but that's rare.

    Homemade american style pancakes (to us non-US people these are thicker pancakes, when someone says a pancake here in Ireland, they mean a crepe style!) with 2 pieces of bacon and some maple syrup or the pancake with strawberries/grapes/pineapple with blueberry yoghurt. Love this combo.

    Breakfast can get a bit monotonous if you only look at things traditionally served at breakfast.

    Break the "rules" and eat what you want - here's one of my favourites

    Apple and bacon salad

    Fry bacon in it's own fat until crispy, add a slices apple and fry for a few minutes. Lay a bed of spinach leaves on a plate. Top with apple and crumbled bacon. Add a few red grapes and pumpkin seeds.

    Dressing: one teaspoon balsamic vinegar, one teaspoon honey, one teaspoon dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons olive oil - shake and pour over

    I make my own organic yogurt. It tastes awesome and it is super easy and saves so much money. I use a crockpot, but you could actually make it with just a pan. I use these instructions. http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008/10/you-can-make-yogurt-in-your-crockpot.html

    Anyway, I take my yogurt and add some stevia, raisins, pressed oats and slivered almonds and mix it up for a tasty breakfast. Then I have some iced coffee. It's delicious and fills me up.

    My favourite is Fibre 1 Honey Clusters cereal. It only has 6 grams of sugar a serving and it really helped me with my iron/fibre levels.
