banana, rice cake, peanut butter, yogurt, apple, whole wheat toast, hummus, protein shake, cereal with low fat milk... I think that's about all I eat. (not all at once, mind you)

 

:) 

Mostly steel cut oats with ground flax seed, blueberries and dried prunes.

Scrambled egg whites with red onion, kale and cherry tomatoes.

I'm on a healthy muffin kick lately.  Most recent was sweet potato muffins and tonight was banana nut muffins.  No oils or butter and very little sugar makes them low-cal and loaded with fiber since I use whole wheat flour and ground flax seed.

Museli occasionally with unsweetened soy milk or almond milk.

Sometimes just a piece of whole wheat toast with my coffee. 

I have a bowl of original Cheerios w/ 2% milk, sprinkled w/ Splenda and some cinnamon!  Yum!!
I love breakfast :)  Here are some of my favorites:

Bran flakes with skim milk (high fiber and low calorie, makes me happy)

grilled PB2 and banana sandwich (heaven)

fried egg on a whole wheat English muffin

Honey nut Cheerios

Cinnamon Life cereal

Oatmeal with various combinations of toppings (SF maple syrup, walnuts, Splenda, cinnamon, apples, bananas, blueberries, chocolate syrup, PB2, oh the combinations are endless)

Cream of wheat with bananas

Whole wheat pita bread with PB2, jelly, and banana slices inside, warmed up in the microwave (OMG, this is so good.)

Homemade pancakes with SF maple syrup

Small corn tortilla with 1/2 slice of cheese inside, grilled in cooking spray and sprinkled with Splenda and cinnamon (I call it a breakfast quesadilla)

Egg, tomato, and a little cheese in pita bread or a wrap

Low-cal homemade french toast, made with egg whites and wheat bread, topped with sf maple syrup

These are just some of my various beloved breakfast favorites!
coffee   oatmeal yougurt  apple
hemp-flax granola with vanilla soymilk, golden raisins and half a chopped apple. yum!
My standards (I alternate enough to keep it interesting):

-a boiled egg or two, crumpet or toast, fruit, and tea
-scrambled eggs with cream cheese, toast, yogourt
-cereal and milk with banana (rarely)

I love eating breakfast. It's a new habit for me, and I think it'll stick. I always make sure to have protein in it, because it helps keep me full till lunch. I guess milk would be OK for that, though personally I need peanut butter or eggs to feel really full.
Today I had plain oatmeal, 2 bananas and 3 pancakes, then steamed veggies and brown rice. I was hungry.
I get up at 4 a.m. every day and have oatmeal with a VARIETY of add-ins to keep it interesting! Sometimes it will be pumpkin puree, chopped apple, pear, banana, mixed berries, cinnamon, crushed nuts, dried fruits like cranberries etc.

I like Thomas Whole Grain Honey English Muffins toasted with apple butter, topped with an egg scrambled with scallions, salt, pepper

I RARELY EEEVEER eat cereal---but if I would--it would be cheerios with soy milk and half a banana, or maybe Kashi Go Lean or something---


i eat a bowl of quaker oatmeal with some raisins, and i also eat a luna bar. :) 

usually an apple

sometimes honey nut cheerios or oatmeal

The first thing i do in the morning is make myself a wonderful green smoothy. I know you probably thinking eeww groos but it is actually fabulous. It consist of sometype of fruit and a leafy green with water. So this morning I used one apple, one banana, one orange and a head of romaine lettuce. Now this is for 2 people. You can use whatever fruit you would like to. Pinapple with banana and coconut flakes taste just like a pina-colada. So play around with it. Remember breakfast was named this because you are breaking you fast. The first thing you put in your body is the most important and will set the rest of you day.

Haha...you guys actually have time to make stuff for breakfast. I grab a pack of the Nature Valley crunchy granola bars and make a beeline for my car. I used to pack a little bit of cereal to munch on, but granola bars are easier to eat on the go.

The NV crunchy granola bars taste awesome.

i like breakfast! i used to hate it but now i like waking up to something tastey!

here are some things i may have:


cooked oats w/raisins

yoghurt (im lactose intolerant but yoghurt is supposivley good for me, and so far i havent had any bad reactions), either plain, with cereal, or cut up fruit

granola or cereal with almond milk


home made waffles (pumpkin waffles, almond waffles, walnut waffles, there are so many kinds to make!)

grapefruit


toast, of course!

I so love breakfast now...I look forward to it...

 

2 Packets of oatmeal, toast w/ jam, yogurt. Pretty much every morning, sometimes Ill do oatmeal and some veggie bites from morning star, its pretty much a cheesy hashbrown with peppers and veggies. Good stuff.

I always eat a ton for breakfast, it wakes me up and gets my metabolism going! 

Breakfast rules!

 i love cheerios w/milk, and most the kashi cereals. sometimes i also have whole wheat bread with pb.  most the time it's cereal, i look forward to it every morning.

Oatmeal and a banana.. yummmm :)

Honey Nut Cheerios with skim milk and a handful of blueberries. Green tea.
Pumpkin oatmeal with fiber one, my coffee and a big bottle of water

My favorite quick breakfast is a  Thomas's Whole Grain English Muffin with a fried egg and some dijon mustard and a cup of veggie juice.  I can make it all in 5 or 6 minutes and it is very filling and long lasting in my belly.  That said, I do up it to 2 eggs during my time of the month when i am super hungry all the time and that helps.
