breakfast for non-egg eaters

I make a huge fruit smoothie nearly every day from lots of frozen fruit, spinach, and whey powder. If you're going to be in a hurry, you can put most of the ingredients in a cup in the fridge overnight, and save most defrosting/prep time. Zing it up, and drink it in the car.0

I am a HUGE advocate of oatmeal! It is quick, filling, and easily paired with additional items such as fruit or toast if you are needing a litle extra fuel that morning!0

I'm eating this now! I dont add granola, and I freeze them. They seem to keep for awhile (I eat them a bit frozen because the strawberries get runny after they are defrosted). I wrap them individually in foil and I keep them in the freezer at work.0 -
I make baked oatmeal. It's delicous, and does not involve eggs at all. There are recipes for it all over the internet, but mine:
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup old fashioned oat (the kind that take like 20 minutes to cook stovetop)
3 tbsp of low fat cottage cheese
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup of sweet potato (I mashed up a banana instead and put it in last night and it was great)
Mix it all together in a ovenproof bowl and pop it in the oven for 30 minutes. I bake mine at 375 degrees, but your oven may be different.
I make it the night before, or if I have 30 minutes in the morning to let it cook. Going to try cherries and bananas in there tonight!0 -
Kashi Bar and a banana is my typical work day breakfast. I prefer the chewy varieties... 7 Whole grains and Almonds, Trail Mix, Mocha Dark Chocolate... all are between 130-150 cals, 5-7 g protein and 4 g of fibre.0

I make a breakfast smoothie with your choice of fruit, whey protein, spinach, and almond milk. It curbs the hunger very well until lunch.
If I don't do eggs this is what I do!! It is so good!0 -
green monster smoothie
1 cup almond milk
1 tbsp hemp protein powder
1 tbsp ground flax
1 tbsp pnut butter
1 frozen banana
1/4 cup frozen blueberries
2 handfuls spinach
blend well - yum0 -
I like a fruit smoothie made with frozen berries because it is more substantial than a protein shake and just as quick as microwaving something. You need (ideally) a small single-serving blender:
1 cup milk (try unsweetened Almond Milk, but skim works just fine)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup frozen berries (still frozen - I buy them in sacks from the frozen food section at Costco)
a pack of sweetner if needed to taste
Dump in blender cup. Blend well.
this ^^ but I add flax seeds too for fibre and a smallish banana. Oh and leave the frozen fruit frozen, it makes the smoothie ice cold and extra yummy.0 -

Others may have already mentioned it but if your not vegan then regarding the burrito and egg biscuit or muffin - I would just replace the egg with lean protein (i.e. chicken breast, turkey breast, etc.). Also, I haven't tried it yet but there is a new (to me anyways) that I saw a few weeks ago - Overnight No Cook Refrigerator Oatmeal. You can do a Google search and find tons of recipes. I am going to try it - just haven't had the time yet on Sunday to put everything together. Currently my breakfast is usually a bottle of water, coffee and then fruit or soy yogurt.0

On the weekends, I usually do a steel cut oatmeal with almond milk, berries, and flax seed . Sometimes I make a batch of quinoa or amaranth and mix them in with the oatmeal. Can make a batch, mix and save the rest in the fridge to nuke the next day.0

For me, eggs are a weekend thing when I have time to cook. During the week though when I need to just grab something and go, I usually do fruit burritos, the lowest calorie tortilla I can find, 15g of low fat cream cheese and a selection of fruits, usually kiwi fruit, pineapple, strawberry and banana. It comes in at just under 200 calories
If I have time on the weekend though I'll make a fig, almond loaf. The only problem is resisting the urge to slather it in butter!
1 cup dried figs
1/2 cup boiling water
Cooking spray
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 large egg whites
1 large egg
3/4 cup applesauce
1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 cup granulated sugar
6 3/4 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 1/2 ounces whole-wheat flour (about 1/2 cup)
1/3 cup chopped almonds, toasted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. To prepare streusel, combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring with a fork until crumbly; set aside.
3. To prepare bread, combine figs and 1/2 cup boiling water in a small bowl; let stand 30 minutes. Coat 2 (8-inch) loaf pans with cooking spray; dust with 1 tablespoon flour.
4. Place egg whites and egg in a medium bowl; stir well with a whisk. Add applesauce, yogurt, oil, and almond extract; stir well. Add sugar; stir well.
5. Weigh or lightly spoon 6.75 ounces all-purpose flour and 2.5 ounces whole-wheat flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours and remaining ingredients in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Drain figs, and coarsely chop. Add figs and applesauce mixture to flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake at 350° for 55 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 15 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pans. Cool completely on wire rack.0 -
bump!! I don't eat eggs either!0

Fruit. Easy to eat on the go, good for you and no fuss. :happy: Then eat something more substantial for lunch?0

I have a protein shake and three hours later I have an Adkins Protein Bar. They're very good and filling. You might want to give that a try.0

As someone else said, baked oatmeal. Mine is usually just oats, water, berries and a dribble of honey. Bake them individually in a muffin tin and they're good to take anywhere.0

my boys usually eat a yogurt in the morning. I've done yogurt with a little granola on it, or one of my fav's - an apple sliced up with some peanut butter, and some cheerios. you just dip your apple in the PB, and then dip that in the Cheerios - so good! You can try different kinds of apples and different kinds of Cheerios too. this is one of our favorite snacks - we just all share.0
