What's everyone's go-to breakfast?

crcosmetics · October 2015

I am hooked on the bad sugary cereals right now, in the morning AND at night time. I need to cut back (I sound like I need cereal rehab) and switch to a healthier but FAST breakfast. Think I'll stick to my faithful oatmeal with protein powder added in.

I used to keep turkey bacon wrapped egg muffins prepped and ready in my fridge pre-pregnancy, but quit making them because of the bacon and nitrates and all that.

So, just curious, what's everyone eat for breakfast?

Frosted Mini Wheats, Oatmeal or Blueberry Muffins.

MrsLeanMeanClean · October 2015

Oatmeal or nothing

cmerribury · October 2015

Usually a protein shake or maple-sweetened oatmeal with fruit and almonds. BUT, right now a runny egg and cheese sandwich on toasted wheat. Sweets are too sweet to me right now, and I'm craving eggs like crazy.

crcosmetics · October 2015

I wish I craved eggs! They seem so nasty to me now and usually I love them! I used to make a protein shake with banana and a scoop of oatmeal added in.. I should start that again! Thanks for the idea!

blueeyedrose86 · October 2015

Scrambled eggs and a banana most days. Other options include: make ahead bfast burritos (but I put bacon in them so you might not want them) or frozen pancakes. I eat them like cookies to bypass the syrup, unless I'm feeling indulgent.

RosieMommy2016 · October 2015

Eggs with spinach and kale and sometimes a carrot, too.

jmathi0149 · October 2015

I crave the Starbucks bacon Gouda breakfast sandwiches.

Those are so good!!!

I usually have toast with peanut butter.

SarahJean1014 · October 2015

My go to breakfast is usually avocado toast. Cheap, simple, and delicious.

smushi · October 2015

Crunchy peanut butter on toast, but lately, cereal... Can't get enough. Were I you, I'd go back to your usual and just buy nitrate/nitrite free bacon. There are some cheap mainstream brands now.

ecwk · October 2015

Eurgh I suck at breakfast.
It's usually half a multigrain bagel with cream cheese or else a banana.
I have zero appetite in the morning and never eat until well after I get to work (I get to work before seven). My 'lunch time' is before 11 am so my eating schedule during the week is messed up.

mrspepper05 · October 2015

Cinnamon raisin bagel with butter and a fully caffeinated cup of coffee. Every single day. #creatureofhabit

ClaireBear90 · October 2015

Usually scrambled eggs, sometimes with toast, and a cup of tea. If I'm feeling really lazy it's a bowl of cheerios with sliced banana. And occasionally I'll mix it up with baked oatmeal. It's a great easy breakfast for one . . . 1/3 cup oats, a sprinkling of brown sugar and cinnamon, mix together in a ramekin or small oven-safe bowl. Top it with 1/3 cup water and some diced apple. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes at 400F. Take the foil off, bake another five minutes, and serve with milk and more sugar or syrup. I love how easy it is and that it makes enough for just me, because nobody else in my family eats oatmeal. I've also made it switching out blueberries or dried cranberries for apple or adding a swirl of homemade apple butter.

Now I want breakfast.

ecwk · October 2015

@ClaireBear90 I love oatmeal but never make it during the week as I don't have time or the appetite! But I've never heard of baked oatmeal, it sounds delish! Will have to try it this weekend!!

Edited spelling

I am also addicted to cereal right now. I have put on a lot of weight recently and am trying to eat a little bit healthier though so I have been trying to do scrambled eggs and whole wheat toast when I have time. Often I end up having a multigrain toaster waffle topped with peanut butter and half of a banana, I get the vans organic ones but I'm not sure that makes them all that much more healthy! I love oatmeal so I should probably go back to that.

Girl I feel you on the weight gain however I probably have you beat

I went to my appointment today at 20w3d and I'm up 26 POUNDS!!! My total for this pregnancy is only 32 and I have 19 weeks to go!

katy0990 · October 2015

I have been eating trail mix for breakfast. It's easy and the protein keeps the headaches away.

labacker · October 2015

Mornings seem to be when I eat the most and can never feel full. My typical routine is a mini blueberry bagel w/ cream cheese OR an English muffin w/ peanut butter while I get ready. Then, I eat a banana on the drive to work and then two hard boiled eggs once I get settled in at my desk. By 10am I'm usually starving so then I'll do a yogurt, string cheese, or an apple. Yikes!!

lamell · October 2015

My go-to is make-ahead breakfast burritos. If we don't have any, I will normally have 2 boiled eggs on whole grain toast.
I have to have a good share of protein and carbs for breakfast or I barely make it through!

kitteh81 · October 2015

DH has been making me the same breakfast for the past 7 years--coffee or black tea, a piece of whole grain toast with blueberry jam and another piece layered with spinach, egg, and sliced avocado. He's got it down to a science so that the spinach, egg, and avocado all lie flat on the toast just so, it's quite impressive (and delicious!)

Sometimes I squirting some siracha on top of the avocado, if I'm feeling spicy, and When I'm breastfeeding he adds peanut butter under the blueberry jam. (And I'm always breastfeeding, really. Have been for the past 5 years straight!)

ivyvines6 · October 2015

2 pieces of bacon, 2 fried eggs, a bagel with cream cheese (or peanut butter if the bagel isn't savory) an apple or a pear, and coffee. I know none of that is fast to make, but the protein reeeeeally helps with headaches!

cocobeanie22 · October 2015

I've been eating a bagel with cream cheese- I know it's not great long term but I have lost a lot of weight already so I figured the baby can use it >.<

lightrox · October 2015

Peanut butter on a slice of bread with an orange. Haven't really wanted to eat much more also you can buy nitrate free turkey bacon they sell it a Target, Costco, Publix,etc. I don't eat it everyday so I'm not greatly concerned about my nitrate intake but that might be an option for you.

smount2011 · October 2015

I LOVE my strawberry frosted miniwheats! But when I get sick of them or need a change, I fry a potato (home fries) and scramble an egg. Occasionally I get a hankering for pancakes, so I spend a day frying up a bunch and freezing them so I can take 2 out at a time and heat them in the microwave.

2goofykids · October 2015

Honestly, I usually go for belvita breakfast cookies, the Orange and cranberry ones. But this last week I've been running too late to eat those so it's been a nutrigrain bar and goldfish.

JessKo08 · October 2015

A fried egg served on a piece of wheat toast and a slice of cheese, or a delicious sugary breakfast cereal.

ceds07 · October 2015

Toast with peanut butter. Every.day. If I'm feeling really wild I add chia seeds and honey

emjeve · October 2015

DD and I usually spilt a banana and a Greek yogurt. BUT I'm totally guilty of getting McDonalds sausage mcmuffin and a hashbrown once or twice a week (and now that's it's served ALL day, it's sometimes my lunch)!

Yes! McDonald's all day breakfast may be the worst but best thing to ever happen to me haha

canadiangirl57 · October 2015

Honey nut cheerios or mini wheats. Im a huge cereal fan! But everytime i have mini wheats my son ends up somewhere stealing far the bowl

oceanchild · October 2015

B'fast is my fave.
Raspberry mini-wheats, hard-boiled eggs (while they're still warm, soft boiled eggs with butter melted in the bowl, bagels with cream cheese, jalapeño&cheese giant pigs in blankets from our local donut shop, sausage burritos from McD's, bacon and scrambled eggs with spinach and cheese, blueberry waffintangles (muffins made in the Belgian waffle-maker instead of baked, and then cut in half: they don't crumble like muffins which is good for the kids, and the entire thing tastes like the muffin-top!), French toast with tons of egg, frozen breakfast sandwiches - usu Canadian bacon+egg+cheese on an English muffin or waffle, toast topped with an egg over easy+tomato+avocado, toast with coconut oil and hemp seeds, English muffin with cream cheese and jam, leftover cold takeout pizza, oatmeal/cream of wheat, breakfast casseroles, frittata with bacon and broccoli/kale/whatever I have, French-toast casserole with blueberries, fruit, cereal/protein balls/bars, hashbrowns!
So many great b'fast things on Pinterest, like set your crockpot the night before and wake up to eat, or bake-ahead casserole ideas, or make-ahead and freeze single serving things you just grab one and microwave.

skruhmin · October 2015

If I could marry breakfast, I would. I'm a big fan. On mornings I don't want to fix it myself, DH and I go to a bagel shop and get jalapeno cheddar bagels with eggs/cheddar. I could live on cereal - right now it's Honey Bunches of Oats, but I'm also loving Cinnamon Crunch (organic version of Cinnamon Toast Crunch). I LOVE granola with milk. My go-to breakfast sandwich is home made egg mcmuffins. Sometimes we do green smoothies - 1 banana, 1 Tbsp peanut butter, 1 Tbsp cocoa powder, 2 C milk, 1 Tbsp plain hemp protein powder, handful spinach, ice. Sometimes berry smoothies.

oceanchild · October 2015

Oh yes to the smoothies!!! If you could marry b'fast @skruhmin I would be your sister wife! I swear all the weight I've gained this pregnancy is from eating carb-y B'fast stuff. But I constantly crave it.

skruhmin · October 2015

Yup breakfast sandwiches have been my craving this pregnancy. Like seriously, you can't go wrong with them.

nmilwood · October 2015

Cereal - frosties crunchy nut or conflakes

Melodyags · October 2015

I usually go for plain oatmeal and either an orange or banana.

Mrsbearmomma · October 2015

I usually do a chobani vanilla cup and for second bfast I will do scrambled eggs and bfast potatoes. Or if I don't have potatoes I will usually have some oatmeal with a glass of milk.

ecwk · October 2015

Holy moly @oceanchild thanks for making me hungry!!!!!

amaniupendo · October 2015

Everything Bagel with butter and/or Greek yogurt with blackberries

irenewslee · October 2015

Breakfast burrito from the office cafeteria downstairs and a cup of latte... sometimes a two egg omelette

If I am running short on time, then I get a toasted bagel with cream cheese (a lot of cream cheese). When I feel constipated, then I go for oatmeal with honey.
