Hmmm this one threw me for a loop. I’m vegan and a lot of my breakfasts are based on grains. But I’ve recently recognized not all grains are created equal! And there are so many types of grains out there, like quinoa or spelt, that have different nutritional benefits. I’ve been trying to expand from my normal oatmeal or toast breakfast trend into these others to give myself more variety . But, not everyone has this mindset aneed to cut out grains for other reasons. In that case, perhaps focusing on a protein, a fruit or veggie, and/or a healthy fat for breakfast. Could be some peanut butter with your fave fruit, or steamed kale with avocado dressing, or hummus and veggies to dip and a green protein shake. Lots of choices! Good question! All the best to you

Increasing the amount of cooking you’re prepared to do in the morning. Especially with veggies. Not only solution but would provide lots of variety of what you can make. I say that comparing it to just a bowl of cereal or toast. I’m trying to not even buy bread or bagels to have around. Doesnt have to be a lot of cooking, could be eggs and wilted chard or spinach. Cook prepare extra roasted carrots/or other root veggies at dinner to make a veggie scrambler.

Actually, I’m not a fan of the whole low carb thing. I always have oatmeal in the morning and I feel it’s really satisfying, good for my stomach. Oats have a lot of great ingredients, even protein. If you really want to cut it out, I sometimes drink a smoothie out of kale, banana and apple, sometimes chia seeds for even more fiber. Kale is amazing (Google it’s effects) and it keeps me full surprisingly long.

The simplest answer is to not buy them when you are out shopping. The more difficult piece is what to do when when you you are not eating at home:( I don’t have an easy answer for that yet.

Instead of toast, cereal, waffles, pancakes or muffins, eat a delicious omelet, scrambled eggs, boiled egg (boil a bunch the night before, they make great anytime snacks) fruit & kale smoothie, protein shake or yogurt & fruit parfait. If you need a bread-like substance, look up low carb recipes for bread that uses almond flour or coconut flour.

I never eat grains for breakfast. I drink always bulletproof coffee with eggs or without. Egglatte! Scrambled eggs is also the best

I increase my fruit to give the same full feeling. If I don’t know what to eat, I eat fruit first while I think about a good choice. I’ve also started making batches of hard boiled eggs to have an easy, quick protein available.

I usually eat a veggie omelette or a protein shake sine I need to avoid certain carbs in the morning. These high protein breakfasts get me going!!

I have found success by eating the same breakfast everyday, cold oatmeal prepped the night before. The recipe is full of healthy ingredients to start the day and is low on unhealthy sugars and grains. And since it is prepared the night before it is easy to keep with the habit because I don’t have to think about what to make for breakfast each morning.

Eating eggs is one way to ensure you get a sufficient amount of protein in the morning. Pair this with a glass of orange juice and some hot sauce and it makes for a fantastic breakfast in my opinion.
