I am an enthusiastic breakfast fan. I don't like to eat the same thing every day, though, or even more than once or twice a week.... I am always on the hunt for new breakfast ideas. Sometimes I come up with new things on my own, and sometimes I run across a great idea on another blog or recipe site, that I can change up to my own tastes.
Here are 5 of my favorite breakfasts lately:
Pumpkin Protein Cake
This makes up so quick and easy in the microwave oven and can be ready in just a couple of minutes. If you don't like pumpkin, try it with an equal amount of applesauce, or cooked squash or a whole banana, and vary the spices and the protein powder. It is awesome!
Healthy Breakfast Bowl
This is really just a bowlful of everything you like! In any combination you like. I ususally put in some milled flax, chia, hemp, nuts, dried fruit, fresh fruit, almond milk or yogurt, cinnamon or other spices... it can be different every time you make it! My sister in law in North Vancouver introduced this to me when we visited in July and I have been enjoying it ever since.
Eggs N Oats
This is a great way to kick off a busy morning. And there are so many ways you can vary this dish that you will never get bored with it. Scrambled eggs and rolled oat... make it savory with some veggies thrown in, or sweet with yogurt and fruit, or peanut butter, as toppings.
Hot Ground Flax 'Cereal' Bowl
This is just some banana, egg white and milled flax seed, cooked and plumped, with some fruit and yogurt on the top. Sorta like cooked oats without the oats... Try it, you will be pleasantly surprised at how filling and tasty it is.
Flourless Whey Protein Pancakes
I still make these about once a week, but I just make a large pancake per serving now as it is quicker. I have also made these with soy protein powder and they work just fine. And you can use other flavors... chocolate... and I bet that new cinnamon bun would be wonderful. I have used pumpkin instead of the banana too. Lots of ways to top them... Greek yogurt, honey, fruit, nut butters....
What is your favorite breakfast right now?
I am ready to eat them all!!! :) I am boring.. I stick with my homemade protein bars/muffins & whole grain toast w/PG with flax & chia mixed in it! :)

DeleteWow, that's some variety:) I usually have the same smoothie every morning, boring I know:)
ReplyDeleteI love pumpkin pancakes:)
ReplyDeleteThis all sounds so good. I tend to gravitate toward Greek yogurt and/or a bagel or cereal. I'm a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast and I'll get hooked on one thing and eat it for months before I switch to something else.
ReplyDeleteYum Yum Yum!!!! I've been looking for new ideas....and I found them here!!!
ReplyDeleteI love eggs, home made apple turkey sausage, pancakes, waffles and oats :)
ReplyDeleteDuring the week it is just easy for me to have oatmeal file dwith oat bran, wheat germ, and flax seeds. On the weekends, I spice u my protein with eggs, waffles, and pancakes!
ReplyDeleteI drink smoothies every morning. I like to incorporate as many raw foods into my diet as possible and a smoothie is a great way to do that. I tend to eat the things you mentioned above for lunch or dinner. Eggs at dinner are one of my favorites!
ReplyDeletei have got to try to make some protein pancakes! i miss pancakes so bad!
