New Breakfast Ideas??

[Willy]

 My main breakfast idea is.. coffee. Honey/rown sugar  'n cream and I'm ready to head out and slaughter ravening communist hordes. ..Willy.

Oh, and one other idea if it's the texture that is killing you with the oatmeal... try steel cut oats, and also try thinning it out. Make it almost soupy, or a little less than your cereal. Use something to flavor the liquid if you like. It will help tremendously! My buddy puts cream of wheat in his tea and drinks it that way as he works.

Sprouts! Grow sprouts in a jar. Great with sundried tomatoes an oil and vinegar and spices.....

if you can get fresh eggs from someone who has chickens.as long as you don't wash them they will stay fresh without refrigeration for a couple of weeks.they have a protective film on them.

look for references on the raw food diet. &nbsp;non cooked vegitables mostly &nbsp;there are many varieties of kale cabbage, as well as other nutritious veggies (iceburg lettuce is the worst nutrician)

i chop up potatoes and eat them with eggs, or bacon or both, on a tortilla. its like a breakfast taco. if you dont like egg you can mix the potato with like turkey or ham or something. idk potatoes last a while too <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">

Breakfast Ideas:<br /><br />Raisin Bread, Fruit (banana, apple, peach,etc), almonds<br /><br />Bread, muffin, or tortilla... Butter it.&nbsp; Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.&nbsp; My mom used to make these for us when we were kids.&nbsp; Some kind of fruit as a side.<br /><br />Cereal with almond milk is delicious.&nbsp; It doesn't have to be refrigerated until after it's opened.&nbsp; They come in a small rectangular cartons so the carton wouldn't take up much room.&nbsp; And it's so healthy for you.&nbsp; Have some fruit as a side.<br /><br />Granola with almond milk.&nbsp; ...Fruit as a side.&nbsp; If you can't get fresh fruit, use canned.<br /><br />Oatmeal with granola and cinnamon.&nbsp; The granola gives the oatmeal a crunchy texture.&nbsp; Add fruit for more taste.<br /><br />Muffin with pre-cooked bacon and butter.&nbsp;&nbsp;Of course it'd be tastier if it was toasted with cheese, but you're wanting non-cooking ideas.&nbsp;<br /><br />Almonds, walnuts, etc. are a good source of protein if you're not wanting to cook.<br /><br />Yogurt doesn't take up much room in a cooler.&nbsp; Add granola, fruit, or walnuts.<br /><br />You could always add powdered milk with cereal.&nbsp; I&nbsp;didn't mind it as a kid.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />Graham cracker sandwich&nbsp;spread with applesauce and crushed&nbsp;walnuts.<br /><br /> <br /><br />

You guys are killing me. I can't eat grains LOL Not that I want to eat it but it does kill me.

You guys are killing me. I can't eat grains LOL Not that I want to eat it but it does kill me.

<br /><br />Can't you eat grits? Those are gluten free. I've heard about possible cross contamination during the shipping process but have a few friends with CD who eat them regularly and never had a problem.<br /><br />

 

[She]

No cant eat any grains. Except flax seeds and Chia seeds. I do sometimes have a yam. Its made with corn I can't eat corn because its raises my sugar level like crazy.

 

[KatieinKansas]

Bryce, I like your idea of a banana dipped in chia seeds.&nbsp; You could also dip the banana in flax seeds.&nbsp; The flax seeds are loaded with omega.

 

[She]

<br /><br />Like that too.

<br /><br />Bummer, but the seeds are much healthier for you anyways. Have you tried Quinoa for breakfast?<br /><br /><br />Wait, is polenta out also?<br /><br />

 

[She]

LOL I don't even know what that is...I will have to Google it.<br />Edit...no go.... corn

Hear is a good chart that I stumbled&nbsp;upon&nbsp;that show's some hot&nbsp;cereal&nbsp;nutritional&nbsp;values.&nbsp;<br /><br /><div>http://www.cnn.com/FOOD/resources/food.for.thought/grains/cereal/compare.cereal.hot.html<br /><br />Also I was reading about adding coco powder and steva ( south american no cal.&nbsp;sweetener) to oatmeal. If you happen to like&nbsp;chocolate.&nbsp;I will give it a try soon and post what I thought about it.</div>

 

[Rollin]

OK&nbsp;so I tried the Oatmeal with the coco/stevia combo. Um...I&nbsp;wasn't&nbsp;to impressed... But I kept&nbsp;experimenting&nbsp;with it and came up with this&nbsp;concoction that I think is pretty good.&nbsp;Of Course you can add or subtract how you like, and the amounts.&nbsp;I think soy milk would be good with this also.<br /><br />1 cup old fashion oats<br />1/2 teaspoon coco powder ( unsweetened)<br />1 tablespoon&nbsp;chunky&nbsp;peanut butter (all natural no sugar&nbsp;added)&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />1&nbsp;banana sliced up<br />2 packets steva&nbsp;<br /><br />Another good idea with oatmeal is to make it into&nbsp;granola. There are a ton of&nbsp;recipes&nbsp;on the net about how to. I&nbsp;tried&nbsp;it with some instant I had that I can't stand and it turned out pretty good considering I hate the texture of instant.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />You are supposed to bake it, but if you don't have a oven maybe you could use a sun shade and tin foil ???? May take all day but I bet it would work.<br /><br /><br />
