Every morning I cook 1/2 cup of oatmeal in 1 cup of vanilla soy milk. Then I add a cut-up banana and some sort of berries (at the moment it's raspberries). I can't start my day without it!

Same. with a cup of coffee mmmmmmmmmm best breakfast ever. It feels like it should be a cheat meal too.
Also, Ive been eating healthy for almost 3 years now and Im sick of special K, despite its deliciousness. I tried Fibre 1 brown sugar shredded wheats and looovee it. So that too if Im in a rush.

I grew up never eating bfast, but I've been eating it pretty consistently the past 3 years.
If I'm really tired I have no appetite, so just eat a hard boiled egg.
The rest of the time, I can eat anything. I often eat foods that aren't traditional breakfast foods. For example, today I made a big salad that had Mexican flavors: a small organic chicken thigh that was marinated in hot sauce, cumin, & cilantro (coriander), some homemade black bean & corn salsa, tomato, and a big pile of lettuce. For the dressing, I mixed a tablespoon of ranch with hot sauce.
I like to always eat a protein and pair it with some complex carbs.
I can't do sugar in the morning. It makes me hungrier the rest of the day. If I have something high in sugar, I have to pair it with protein and fat.
Cereals don't satiate me, so, if I eat them, I only have them at nighg for dessert.
I can do oatmeal so long as I combine it with protein/fat, so I'll throw in some peanut butter and milk.
I eat eggs in various forms a lot too, especially egg sandwiches of all sorts. I recently put a fried egg on a whole grain waffle, some diced up sausage, and a tiny drizzle of honey.
And of course, good ol greek yogurt with nuts. I eat that often.

I like a variation, so I switch around between a few things
egg-white omlettes (my favorite is muschrooms, spinach, tomatoes, and a little cheese - YUM!)
non-fat Greek yogurt
Cereal - usually Kashi or Special K
fruit with peanut butter
And sometimes I'll have a piece of whole-wheat toast with any of these if I am still feeling hungry

Hello UK Chicks! I'm in the US, but wanted to share my new awesome breakfast with you, just in case anyone was looking for some new ideas
Overnight Oats:
1/2 cup Quaker Oats
1 scoop protein powder (I like gold standard)
1/2 cup of milk plus a little water
Cinnamon (optional)
Vanilla extract (optional)
Mix everything together in a bowl and refrigerate overnight. In the morning you have delicious, chilled oatmeal with a protein boost. I usually add a tablespoon of chia seeds in the morning for some extra fiber. This is filling, tasty, and well balanced

I eat a peanut slimfast bar every morning. I was never a breakfast person - I find it convenient and I actually really love the bar!! I know I should eat fresh food - but all my snacks are fruit and I load tonnes of veggies into dinner.

A collard green leaf with some coconut oil and natural peanut butter spread onto it and 1 banana smushed into it. Wrap it all up!

I usually eat cereals that contain fiber and protein, such as Kashi GoLean (or Aldi version, GetBalanced) and almond milk.
Sometimes I eat low-calorie bread with peanut butter and sugar free jelly.
I also enjoy Wasa crisps with laughing cow cheese spreads.

I eat breakfast at my desk at about 9.30 am (4 hours after I get up). If I ate any earlier I'd be ravenous by mid morning. I like to get in a good slug of fibre for the minimum amount of calories possible, since I like to save most of my calories for dinnertime (and my 'budget' is only 1025 calories per day). This way I normally have about 700 calories for dinner by the time I've had breakfast and lunch.
I alternate between -
1) 40 grams of Weetabix Crunchy Bran (140 calories, 8g of fibre) which I eat dry out of a tupperware tub, washed down with a litre of water and a large mug of Tea Pig Licorice and Mint tea (no milk or sugar so just 1 calorie per mug). Total breakfast 141 calories, 8g of fibre.
2) 50g of frozen raspberries (52 calories, 5g of fibre) which I then eat thawed with 15g of Mornflake Oatbran (55 calories, 3g of fibre) and 15g of Total 0% greek yogurt (9 calories) - washed down with a litre of water and a large mug of Licorice and Mint tea (1 cal): total breakfast 116 calories, 8g of fibre.
Either of these options keep me full until lunchtime.

Depends on how I feel. Although, I love eating fried egg, sausage, and a toast for breakfast. When on a diet I usually have oats or fruits.

Always a cup of tea with almond milk, then either scrambled eggs on wholemeal toast, fruit mixed with yogurt or porridge. I'm a creature of habit!
