I prefer to have homemade yogurt that is plain, or other non grain foods that are under 300 calories. (Perhaps some bread but not a lot ) I really also enjoy oats soaked in coffee with chia seeds though. Anyway I’d stick to a probiotic with fruit and maybe some lunch meat
Simple salad, yogurt with granola, over night outs with fruits, omlet on bread.. sometimes only an apple with coffee will do
Some items that can be prepared in advance, like cooked old-fashioned oats, or baked egg cups, are quick and easy to reheat in the morning. Fruits and nuts are always good. I am fond of salads and sandwiches in the morning as well but there’s a bit more preparation work involved there. I am not sure how to cook eggs in different ways yet, but smoothie bowls look relatively simple to prepare as well, especially with a blender.
I don’t enjoy eating in the am. So I like to do a protein shake with peanut butter, spinach, banana, oats, flax seed, milk, ice, and sometimes chia.
I like over night oats. I use no fat Greek yoghurt and vary the fruit I use. My favourite is tropical frozen fruit. In the morning I add sultanas and mixed seeds. It’s delicious!
I rarely ate breakfast until about few weeks ago when I started my journey with Fabulous. Previously, I have tried everything - from cereal to toasts and eggs, but my crazy work hours just won’t allow me to sit down for 15 minutes every morning to enjoy my breakfast. So I went down to my local grocery store to see the options I have for a breakfast food that I can consume while I’m starting my work. Shortly, I came across a particular breakfast nutrition bar - one that is less than 100 calories with muesli, granola and other healthy choices. I bought two boxes and kept them on my desk and viola - I started eating breakfast! It’s convenient AND healthy - I fulfilled about 20% of my RNI requirement and I’ve been feeling great!
Usually I make myself a smoothie. I add strawberries, bananas, ice, milk, blueberries, and maybe protein powder. I also eat eggs sometimes.
Combine the dry ingredients before you go to bed. Any frozen berries can also be thawed overnight. It may be worthwhile putting some water in a bowl of porridge to moisten the grains again overnight
Eggs are the foundation for me. My breakfast usually consist of a couple eggs –usually hard-boiled– with a fruit and some energy source.
Overnight oats, with some protein powder added, chia seeds pudding, a smoothie, eggs (tip prepare them the ingredients the night before)
