What do you do for breakfast?

[pinto]

We tend to talk a lot about dinner ideas here, but I tend to graze overall, so I'm interested in other meal ideas. Protein's a biggie for me, so I've found some things I really like that fit the bill in the AM (when I stick to it).

Yogurt 'n berries.
Smoothies of all sorts.
Eggs, any style.
Sliced banana w/ peanut butter.
Grilled cheese sandwich.
English muffin w/ cheese and tomato.
Toasted PB&J.

Dinner left overs.

Juice
Milk
Coffee

What do you do for breakfast?

1. Delicious, creamy, rich, choclately Ovaltine!

Hot if I am cold and cold if I am hot.

[pinto]

2. That's a two thumbs up.

[pinto]

3. I got an electric hand blender as a gift. I'm looking at classic Ovaltine malteds.

Burger and fries and a movie...

[cbayer]

12. Oh,yeah! That's what I am talking about.

You better pick out some good music, pinto!

[freshwest]

13. Oh gosh, malted Ovaltine. Haven't had that in years.

[eridani]

4. For breakfast I do lunch. Major nite owl here. n/t

[freshwest]

5. Apples, carrot juice, maybe with ginger and grapefruit. Then comes the protein.

But closer to lunch time. That's a lot of mushrooms, green onions, red bell peppers sauted in olive oil with a beaten brown yard egg and that's it.

Sometimes I'll add kale, spinach, zucchini or tomatoes if I need to use them fast.

Other days, it's smoothies for breakfast, the really powerful ones that keep me satisfied way past lunch.

If I've overdone the coffee in the morning I end up having hashbrowns with the eggs. Or leftovers from the night before, LOL. That's not the best choice for me.

[pinto]

6. I eat leftovers a lot in the AM. This morning I had a bit of fish from last night with an egg, toast

[CottonBear]

11. I ate Asian sesame noodles at 5 am the other day! So good! n/t

[freshwest]

14. I used to have refried beans or potatoes cooked with Rotel, and scrambled egg burritos.

Then went to scrambled eggs, fresh avocado slices in a spinach tortilla.

Now I'm just down to the egg and avocado, reducing it some times to only the avocado. If I eat it first, I'm not hungry for the rest, but figure I need the protein.

I did make a lot of kefir smoothies for a while, now I'm trying to leave milk products out.

[HopeHoops]

7. I hate when the first thing that comes to mind is something I can't post.

[elleng]

8. Sorry, Hope,

but really, you can tell US!!!

[elleng]

9. Working on it.

Has been coffee + gingersnaps!

Awoke late today, showered + went to newly found HUGE Chinese buffet, so FIRST THING I had was skewered chicken pieces; grand finale? 'Pepper' shrimp, served w shells, pepper not apparent, large + great tasting!

Tomorrow? Who knows!

[CottonBear]

10. Fresh organic bread/toast from my local organic baker & organic eggs

plus cheese and fruit. We have eggs every morning here at our house. Poached, scrambled, fried, over easy, sunny side up and boiled are all options!

Sometimes, we make pancakes from scratch and we also like to make muffins.

Of course, coffee is an essential part of breakfast!

[kestrel91316]

15. Homemade oatmeal or leftover baked goodies (even fruit pie) or

cheese toast (bread with sliced cheese, stuck under the broiler) or yogurt with fruit.

This morning I am in a hurry so it's saltines and swiss cheese, and I will bring an orange in with me to work.

[pscot]

16. Toast and coffee

Two pieces, three cups.











t

[grasswire]

17. handful of nuts, and low-fat milk

almonds or walnuts

sometimes a few dried cranberries thrown in

sometimes 1/2 cup Alpen muesli

and coffee, of course

[pinto]

18. Color me clueless - what's muesli?

[grasswire]

19. cereal with grains seeds and stuff

Can be eaten either cold or hot. I can eat the Alpen cinnamon-apple brand because the carb count is very low. It's the only cereal I can really eat. And it's yummy.

[hobbit709]

20. First, two cups of Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee.

Then it depends, could be cereal, eggs and ham, migas, bacon and eggs with English muffins, or a sausage wrap.
Depends on how energetic I feel.
sometimes I go down to the Mexican bakery on the corner and get a pastry. Every now and then the Sunflower market has these giant soft pretzels.

[blaze]

21. I LOVE breakfast!

bacon and eggs... over easy or scrambled
sausage and eggs
add in potatoes occasionally
pancakes and bacon
Cheerios
cold pizza
assorted other leftovers
Hadn't thought of toasted pb&j for breakfast. It's a common midnight snack for me.

It's also my favorite meal to go to a restaurant.

Discovered a new restaurant yesterday, Wild Eggs. http://www.wildeggs.com/node/5

Sixth photo down was what I had. Dang that was good!!!!

*Kalamity Katie’s Border Benedict

Green chili cheddar corn cakes,topped with chorizo, two poached eggs and queso fundido, pico de gallo, sour cream, green onions and avocado. Skillet potatoes and an Everything muffin

22. lots of good breakfast ideas in your post and at the site

I like those kinds of breakfasts but can't have them much due to trying to keep my cholesterol in check.

What we have here these days is oatmeal! Yum, it is so good. Today I made it by sauteeing little crabapples in olive oil margarine with brown sugar and walnuts. Sprinkled this over the oatmeal. That and a cup of Good Earth tea sweetened with honey was breakfast for me.

Some days we have oatmeal with just bananas or chopped apple.

My husband has lowered his cholesterol by 40 points since last fall by doing this!

23. I pretty much do the same thing every morning

Usually oatmeal with some apple sauce or a banana cooked it it. On weekends I might occasionally have an egg or two on some whole wheat bread or some Greek yogurt with some Uncle Sams or Kashi cinnamon squares mixed in. I always have two mugs of coffee with soy milk

[kentauros]

24. When I'm working/employed

I make frozen fruit smoothies, although they're more like "milkshakes", and no dairy. I also add some herbal supplements I can't swallow due to their size (quercetin, ginkgo) add some honey to mask that, maybe some powdered ginger if I want a little 'pep', and I'm done for the next few hours.

My base fruit is always frozen bananas, having learned that from the vegetarian cookbook "The American Vegetarian Cookbook from the Fit For Life Kitchen" by Marylin Diamond. Then I add whatever other frozen fruits I feel like as I keep several on hand, such as peaches, berry mix (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries), and pineapple. I just prepped a whole pineapple this evening for having frozen pieces on hand. As I use a VitaMix, I don't core it, so I get the extra fiber from that

I'm starting to make my own nut-milks again, so I keep a pint or two of that on hand for making the smoothie-shakes. Lots of healthy stuff!

And now, I think I'll go make a healthy mixed drink

[woodsprite]

25. Apple or pear slices, 2 cheese sticks (or 1/2 c. cottage cheese) and a waffle w/ light syrup

OR

Oatmeal (either w/ raisins/dates & walnuts stirred in, or peanut butter & flaxseed)

In either case, 8oz of milk to wash it all down with.

There for awhile when I felt like cooking in the a.m., I'd scramble an egg and cook it into a crepe shape. Then I'd smear a spoonful of pizza sauce on it and top it with diced cooked veggies (peppers, onion & zucchini) and top with a bit of shredded cheese and cracked pepper.

26. 400 calories and 25 grams of protein.

Usually it's from a cup of yogurt and a protein bar.

[maddezmom]

27. really varies depending on my mood

and what I had for dinner the night before.

Today, 2 boiled eggs, strawberries and the rest of the kids fruit smoothie. Madster requested the boiled eggs so I put in 4. She only eats the whites, so have to scoop out the yolk and clean with a paper towel before serving. Also had one peice of bacon before T-man scarfed the plate down.

When the kids are at their dads I usually eat:

scrambled egg with cheese or some sort of veg or
yogurt and granola or
melon and cottage cheese or
Thomas thin bagels with cream cheese

coffee and V-8

[Luciferous]

28. Oatmeal, shredded wheat, or pb&j toast. Once in a while I'll make muffins or pancakes.

[Whisp]

29. cream of wheat, oatmeal or corn meal.

yum! a little pad of melty butter in the middle, a bit of brown sugar and cream.

It's like a desert.
