Me too! I was an eggs and oatmeal kinda gal, but I just can't handle it in the morning. I started eating whole wheat cereals with soy milk for breakfast. I like Kashi cereals... they're delicious and good for you. Once I've let that settle I eat a yogurt and some fruit also. But not all at once. Big meals make me ill. Sometimes I'll mix it up and make a protein smoothie with protein powder, yogurt, milk, and frozen fruit and throw in a little ground flax seed. Added bonus- you can drink it on the run.
I was doing SO well with eggs the first trimester. Then I suddenly I couldn't tolerate them. I eat a healthy cereal, eat english muffin w/peanut butter, or a smoothie.
Smoothies! Every single morning (for over 2 years!) DH and I have protein smoothies:
1 banana
1C Almond Milk
5- cubes ice
1/2-1C frozen organic fruit (blueberry, straws, etc)
Protein Powder
1/2-1C apple juice (and a little water to make it more juice-like)
Sometimes we add a little agave nectar or maple syrup to sweeten it and raw nuts (cashews or almonds) for texture/vitamins. I mean, really, sometimes we add raw spinach, etc, you can get really creative!
Might need to tweek those ratios per your liking-but I get tons of protein and fiber right away, keeps me full for awhile.
I eat two breakfasts: the first one is a whole wheat english muffin with a light schmear of natural peanut butter.
The second is plain Greek Style yogurt with fruit, or a fruit smoothie with a cup full of baby spinach, flaxseed and protein powder added. (You cant taste the spinach!)

Tablespoon dried goji berries
Skim milk
Amazing stuff. Filling, tasty, protein, vitamins, nothing fake. YUM.
Protein shake
1 scoop vanilla protein powder

Put it all in the blender.
