I also eat the same breakfast daily. I have a cup of black coffee(my only cup for the day), 2 slices of whole grain bread with blueberry preserves. Mid morning I have Fage yogurt,0%fat, with fruit and honey.

one slice toast with melted feta cheese (inasmuch as feta "melts" in the toaster oven) with an egg on top (cooked in the microwave in a little microwave egg cooker for 36 seconds). Alongside it, a piece of seasonal fruit and a cup of coffee.

Feta cheese in the morning? That's love.

I'll stick with walnuts and granola mixed in with yogurt. I add fruit whether or not the yogurt already has it. It's all about texture.

Cereal! Usually it's a mixture of Grapenuts and raisen bran with soymilk and a sliced banana. When I'm at home, I go for better cereals (like anything made by Barbara's, with a little bit of homemade granola tossed in). But at college, the selection of non-crappy cereals is rather limited. And, of course, weak dining-hall coffee - the college student's staple.

Since I start work very early I have my breakfast at my desk. It's the same most days. A banana, yogurt and some other fruit. Today it's black seedless grapes but this summer we've had plenty of great Rocky Ford melons to choose from.

When they're in season (which they suddenly aren't unfortunately), I'll go for fresh blueberries and mueslix in vanilla yogurt. When it's cold out, I'll fix a bowl of miso. If I'm out shopping, I'll either see what kind of soup they've got, or maybe pick up a sandwich.

During the summer - yogurt with cereal and fresh fruit. Winter - oatmeal with brown sugar, milk and a few almonds. Coffee when I get to work.

Boring but it does the trick: A have a whole grain rice cake with a dollop of cashew butter and a dollop of Polaner's all-fruit (no added sugar) in strawberry or apricot. It's satisfyingly crunchy, tastes good, and has protein to get through the morning.

OJ or black coffee, instant cream of wheat made with fat free milk, topped with walnuts, raisins, and splenda brown sugar.

Breakfast sandwich using the Back to Basics Egg & Muffin Toaster!

1 Thomas' Light Multi-grain english muffin
1 Morningstar Breakfast Sausage Patty
1 egg (you can remove the yolk if you want)
1 slice reduced fat cheddar cheese (optional)

I make a smoothie from a recipe in the detox cookbook put out by Morgan Spurlock's girlfriend: a frozen banana, a cup of frozen raspberries, a handful of walnuts, a tablespoon each of flax seeds and spirulina powder, half a cup of yoghurt, and 2 cups of soy milk. The color is vile (raspberries + spirulina = blech), but the taste is deliriously good, and I feel virtuous for the rest of the day.

for some reason i love rice crispies cereal with fresh cut up strawberries in it, my fav summer breakfast. for cold mornings i do plain microwave quick oats made with milk, with couple spoons brown sugar, spoon pure maple syrup, dash of salt, and chopped toasted almonds. cheaper and better tasting than those flavored instant oatmeal packets and less artificial junk in it.

Very soft poached egg, oatmeal & glass of cold milk!

wholegrain cereal and 1% milk or nonfat greek yogurt with peanut butter, honey, and sometimes banana

one of two --

Stonyfield Farm yogurt, blueberries (or bananas, strawberries - whatever is on hand), ground flaxseed and sometimes Smart Start cereal mixed in, with green tea iced tea.

or - and this is HIGHLY ADDICTIVE if you like peanut butter (who doesn't?) - warm a spoonful of PB in the microwave. warm some honey and stir the two together. add sliced bananas, ground flax seed and Smart Start Cereal and enjoy. Peanut Butter Delight. I turned a friend on to it and she emailed yesterday saying she's had it something like 45 consecutive days and she's "in love with her breakfast." Give it a whirl.

Coffee, Fage yogurt, and a fruit, usually a banana. Sometimes I'll have natural peanut butter on whole grain toast. Always start with a cup of coffee.

Toasted whole wheat pita (the pocketless kind) spread with roasted red pepper hummus, and a cup of coffee with milk.

Although this morning I had two leftover Hill Country spareribs...and at least once a week it's leftover takeout Chinese.

okay, i admit it, my priority in the morning is making sure i have coffee. whether i make and take or pick up on the way to work, the only thing i NEED to ingest in the morning is coffee.

the real reason i rarely eat a real breakfast is time. i'm NOT a morning person (hence the above statement re: coffee) so my goal is always to sleep in as late as humanly possible in the morning before hurrying to get ready and out the door for work.

THUS, if i eat breakfast, it must be something i can grab running out the door as a sort of afterthought - if i am even awake enough to have an afterthought...

THEREFORE, i usually end up with a granola bar and, if i have actually gone grocery shopping, a piece of fruit or yogurt. if i have been lazy or forget to grab something, breakfast becomes salt water taffy or whatever other candy i have stashed at my desk.

the cat is out of the bag.

it's always the same. 1 cup of puffed wheat, 1/4 cup of kashi golean, and 1/2 cup of honeycomb. drizzle with sugar-free breakfast syrup and top with 1/2 cup of unsweetened soymilk. yummmmm.

kashi cereal w/plenty of cinnamon

Ronnybrook Farms Plain Yogurt (not low fat - full blast, baby!) with a spoonful of blueberry jam. I also quite like farmer's cheese with some raspberry jam, but it's only the farmer's cheese that's made my parents' local Russian grocery store.

It's amazing that I can't eat the same thing for dinner within a 2 week span, but I can eat the same damn breakfast every single day. A bowl of cereal, always a combination of two different varieties. Currently, I'm working on Kashi Cinnamon Harvest along with Kashi Heart to Heart Oat Flakes and Wild Blueberry Clusters with soy milk. A glass of OJ always goes along with it. From start to finish, probably 5 minutes, with no major appliances or sharp utensils involved.

smoothies- chuck everything in a blender and you have an instant brekkie.
Sometimes I enjoy natural yogurt with fruit, nuts and seeds- bring on the full fat. Low fat anything is just plain wrong.
And I'd like to say that I don't just get people who eat only half a piece of fruit- why not eat the whole thing??

I usually have a banana while I walk to the train; and then a Horizon Organic string cheese and a cup of coffee once I get into the office.

On weekdays: I always have one a half slices of spelt toast with yogurt cheese. One is too little, two too much! Iced tea in the summer, hot tea with milk in the winter.
On weekends: Scrambled eggs with cheese and leeks or scallions, tomato on the side, a slice of toast and maybe a sausage if I'm in the mood.

best toaster ever- my breakfast is:

1 egg
1 morningstar farms sausage patty
1 english muffin
1 slice american cheese

or

multigrain cheerios and soymilk.

Ed, I'm curious about your Mimi Sheraton comment. I think her book, FROM MY MOTHER'S KITCHEN is one of the best food memoirs.
For breakfast, I like the habitual. Currently that is Organic Valley cottage cheese (would that it were English) and Trader Joe's Greek style yogurt with banana and some sort of acid fruit. My all time favorite, but no longer available to me, was halved, toasted La Brea Bakery multi-grained "baugette" with a mild feta and thick sliced tomato. And always strong, black coffee

Breakfast is half a cup of coffee with half half-and-half and half fat-free half-and-half.

Second breakfast, when I get round to it, is the second half of the coffee with a toasted whole-wheat English muffin, 1/4 cup of 2% Fage (I LOVES my Fage!) and 2 oz. smoked salmon, with some capers, chopped red onion, and/or minced scallion on top.

Alternative is a smoothie with frozen banana, frozen berries, Fage, and OJ, with a scoop of whey protein powder and maybe some flax seeds.

Other alternative is oatmeal (steel-cut porridge oats, thanks -- yeah, the kind that takes 30 minutes to cook. I work at home) with my beloved Whey Low (the only sugar sub I can stand), a sprinkle of coarse salt, and a few toasted walnuts.

I guess my breakfasts vary a fair amount. But lunch is usually either fruit salad (in summer, and if I didn't have fruit in the morning) or lentil and vegetable soup. Fage 2% usually crops up with these options as well.

My breakfast is usually either:

-Kashi cereal with soy milk
-Peanut butter, Nutella, and bananas on whole wheat
-Whole wheat & marmite
-Just an apple
I'll drink either soy milk or tea, or the two combined.

i get super cranky if i don't have breakfast with in an hour of waking up, so i always have something before i leave home. usually, 2 eggs cooked sunny side up with salt and pepper, and a piece of toast or a tortilla (to get all the yolk yumminess)

when i run out of eggs, i'll have oatmeal with coffee flavored silk (rather than cooking it, i serve it as soon as i get up, shower and get ready, and eat it right before i leave. that way it isn't mushy, which i hate, but its soft enough to eat).

Cheerios with 1% milk and a sliced banana or an egg sandwich made with a multigrain light english muffin, with a little reduced fat mexican blend shredded cheese melted on top.
