Breakfast of Champions: What Did You Eat This Morning?

Good morning! We're getting into the swing of things this morning with a bowl of yogurt and a mug of chai tea, though we're craving steel-cut oats after seeing the image above. What did you have for breakfast today?

Actually, Irish oatmeal would be particularly appropriate with St. Patrick's Day tomorrow. In the post related to the image above, the guys over at the Bitten Word suggest a technique for soaking oats overnight to shorten the cooking time in the morning.

Perhaps we'll get up the gumption to try that tonight so we can celebrate St. Patty's day in style!

Homemade granola with banana and toasted almonds, served with whole milk - delish!

A banana...that's it...nothing else in the house.

Yogurt with fruit.

About the steel cut oats, they reheat really well unlike rolled oat oatmeal. My husband and I often make a big batch on the weekend and then reheat it by the bowlful on weekday mornings.

I took the red eye home and went directly to the office. I have coffee and a croissant from the bakery on the corner.

Breakfast is for suckers!

I eat leftovers from dinner if I eat anything.

Some turkey bacon, eggs scrambled with tomato and spinach, and a couple of pieces of toast. And a latte.

I don't understand how people can skip breakfast. If I skip it then by about 10 I'm ravenous and grouchy!

toast with peanut butter and honey and a café a lait!

Buckwheat flakes with blueberries and my signature office-hacked cafe au lait.

brown rice with almond slivers, cinnamon, dried cherries and heated up in a little cherry juice with a splash of milk

and tea

Steel cut oats with cinnamon and a bit of fresh ground peanut butter. Iced coffee early AM and now a green tea.

Custard filled doughnut with chocolate on top and a diet coke. Not exactly the breakfast of champions but a bribe was in order to get myself to work this sticky, grey morning.

it seemed fitting

Um, er...a caramel macaron from Bouchon Bakery.

homemade cinnamon raisin toast with a little butter

greek yogurt with trader joe's ginger granola, honey and a banana and a lot of coffee

Steel cut oats with soy sauce and scallions (a la Bittman) made overnight in the crockpot - and ready to be reheated for the rest of the week.

I had a DELICIOUS whole wheat strawberry banana muffin along with cottage cheese & strawberries! YUM! Then when I got to work I had coffee. I plan on blogging those yummy & healthy muffins, so maybe I'll come back and post the link after I do.

Grits and turkey sausage.

I with you, Leprechaun. Except I usually take mine in liquid form from Starbucks.

pb & blackberry jam on white, cold from the fridge :)

My favorite quick breakfast, Ezekiel almond cereal (http://tinyurl.com/43aax9) with soymilk and raisins. It's not cheap, but I'm addicted to it.

Recently, I've been making rye flakes and/or spelt flakes just like oatmeal and loving it. It's like a much heartier oatmeal.

Coffee & Cigarettes, it was really good coffee so I have no regrets.

a mix of multi-grain hot cereal and oat bran, cooked with cinnamon and half a banana, topped with 1/2 c plain yogurt, the rest of the banana, a handful of homemade almond granola and a spoonful of homemade applebutter, with a big cup of black coffee.

this has to be one of my favorite questions. it says so much about a person!

Trader Joe's nonfat greek yogurt with 2 tbsp. ground flaxseed, a hard boiled egg with salt and pepper, 1/2 banana and coffee.

We mix equal parts steel cut oatmeal and 4-grain plus flax cereal and freeze it in ice cube trays. This mixture bumps up the fiber in the cereal. It freezes well. Takes a minute in the microwave.

Ate it with half a banana and some whole milk yogurt.

And lots of coffee. YUM.

Homemade granola and a banana.

toasted crumpets with a mug of milk.

leftover biscuits, one with toasted with cheddar and one with black raspberry jam, coffee

i had one of these for breakfast today

hot oat bran cereal with salt and pepper; coffee with cream.

Fage yogurt & blackberries.

Muffin (dried cherry, dark chocolate pecan) and a fruit and yogurt shake

Organic raisin bran & milk & banana. And two cups of great homemade coffee!

Trader Joe's Whole Milk Vanilla Bean yogurt (definitely worth it) with blueberries from Chile (which I've never had before and are really not as good as local in season ones).

I love this thread and all the good ideas here for breakfasts.

Plain yogurt with flaxseed and blueberries eaten at my desk. My weekend breakfasts are much more inspiring. Sigh.......

cottage cheese w/strawberry jam & a banana on the side :D

bagel with green cream cheese (festive, huh?) and white fish.

A bowl of steel-cut oats

nothing, I'm sick and didn't eat anything until 5pm. I guess it's a good sign that everything here sounds so good!

desireeg- green food dye, I hope!

Two fried eggs over whole-grain toaster waffles with lots of salt and pepper. Also lots of coffee with cream and sugar.

Oatmeal porridge with chocolate flavoured protein powder, some cinnamon and Splenda.

The proteins make me feel full for longer, and lowers the GI a bit. And it tastes kind of like Dumle chocolates from Fazer. :)

brown rice cakes with peanut butter, honey & sliced banana
