I’m a vegetarian. I often have porridge/oatmeal in the mornings. Other breakfasts I eat sometime I feel need the accompaniment of bread. Can you suggest some non-bread breakfast options for vegetarians?

What is the problem with bread? Wholemeal bread provides some important nutrients and is quite often vegan. But if you still want to go without bread, maybe you can try to eat fruits and berries alongside your porridge and also add some chia seeds or nuts. But I would still say: No reason to skip the bread :-)

Granola or wheat based breakfast bars are a good replacement for bread. Try to look for something with non animal based protein so you still get the energy to start the day! I use a vegan based vitamin shake for many of my meals. Keep up the good work on your habits!

If you have time to make a big breakfast Joe Wicks has an amazing recipe for California Eggs. It’s eggs, tomatoes, spinach, avocado and feta cheese. Super tasty and filling, takes about 15 mins to cook. He has other (more on-the-go) recipes too, I recommend checking him out.

Carrots are sweeter than most vegetables, and are a good backup option. I like low-carb wrap options from Mission, also. Cereal and milk/almondmilk is a strong daily breakfast, too.

Fruit smothies with Chia seeds and oatmeal, Look up a recipe for green juice, the seeds add a lot of energy for your day

Absolutely! Although I’m not a vegetarian myself, I only eat vegetarian breakfasts. I have a big need for eggs, so an omelette with spinach, tomatoes and onions is a healthy option. Sometimes I have a fruit salad with Greek yoghurt and swirl some agave syrup on top! Porridge is great, if you want to upgrade it a bit, try different varieties, like adding some blueberries or almonds or even apples and cinnamon. Another healthy option would be banana pancakes - I sometimes make that when I want to treat myself!

You could spice up the oatmeal by adding fruits like bananas grapes, mangos. You could also add coconut flakes, coconut milk and yoghurt. Sometimes when I’m really in a rush and I can’t make oatmeal, I would make a fruit juice consisting of carrots, apples, celery, cucumber and whatever you like!

Quinoa or rice can be used with jellies or fruit. Peanut butter or eggs. It is a texture thing and bland so you make it how ever you want.

If you eat dairy, enjoy some cottage cheese and blueberries or some yogurt and granola! Both give you a good serving of protein.
