I am in a breakfast rut. I've got no time in the morning (I know...shocker, right?) so cooking something is out of the question. Pretty much since LO was born I eat Nutella spread on some lowfat Eggo waffles every morning....breakfast of champions! I can't eat this forever for breakfast or I am sure to gain many lbs and perhaps diabetes. Before I was pg, I ate Luna bars just about every morning for breakfast, but I really don't want to start that up again. I am trying to find something that will be quick & easy, but a little better for me.
What do you eat for breakfast?
Re: what's for breakfast?
I usually eat Cream of Wheat or oatmeal in the winter and Cheerios or Raisin Bran in the summer on weekdays. On weekends I like to make eggs and toast or pancakes. I do often get on a yorgurt and granola kick in the summer months, though. A Chobani vanilla yogurt with fresh fruit and granola on top....yummy!
It depends on the day and how much time I have, but it's usually one of these:
Malt-o-meal or oatmeal with a little cinnamon and splash of milk
Shredded wheat with 1% milk and a tablespoon of local, raw honey
1 c. O% fat Greek yogurt with sliced berries and 1/4 c. flax seed granola
Toasted whole grain bread or english muffins with peanut butter and banana
And I have a cup of coffee each morning too.
On weekends it's usually more of a brunch and it'll be one of the above or if J cooks then it's pancakes or scrambled eggs or an omlete. Sundays we usually get bagels and lox...again it's more brunch than breakfast since we eat later and tend to skip lunch.

I eat on my feet since mornings are so busy trying to feed and then run after LO. I definitely have coffee. Hopefully I can also manage some waffles with bananas, a toasted energy bar with butter, or English muffins with peanut butter. I also like to keep hard-boiled eggs and yogurt on hand to grab when I don't even have time to toast.

I'm no help - I'm a toast girl, with a piece of fruit if I'm lucky. On the weekend I'll often make pancakes one day and eggs the other, but generally toast is where it's at.
In related news, Cream of Wheat is one of the really random things that I miss from the USA!
i used to eat a bowl of cranberry almond crunch (cereal) every.single.day. (seriously. when it goes on sale, we stock up - like, 12 boxes at a time) now that i'm dairy-free, i can't have it anymore, sob.
since going back to work (and pumping), i've been eating oatmeal like it's going out of style...
