what do you eat for breakfast?

Sometimes I have a couple eggs and a piece of fruit.

Sometimes I have whole oats, with cashews, a sliced banana and a splash of water just to moisten it. (I know, not very flavourable, but I'm used to it now.

Today, I had left over chicken from dinner last night, so I had that and then a small bowl of fresh blueberries.

I'm sorry, my breakies aren't very interesting.

Well, eggs aren't vegan, but if you're going to stay vegan, you're going to have a hard time getting enough protein for shaky health, and too many carbs creates sugar, which the bacteria feeds on. Having said that, too much protein isn't good either, due to ammonia and acidic ph.

I have a green smoothie in the morning which fits the vegan bill:

I use a scoop of rice protein powder, fresh herbs from the garden, a tbsp of chlorella, 1/4 of an orange including the rind, fruit, honey, nut butter, and coconut milk.

I make (gluten free & egg free) pancakes and eat them with cinnamon and stevia on top or a nut butter, gluten free granola, oatmeal cooked in almond milk, or hot millet cereal cooked in almond milk.

Interesting how many that have answered so far are eating oatmeal or some cooked grain!! When I first started on this site, I can remember being chastised for eating oatmeal daily! LOL! That was 7 years ago though, so not only can I not remember why they said it wasn't good for me, but the thinking changed as well.

I hope more people answer - now I'm curious to see what things people are doing for breakfast!! Hopefully I'll get some new ideas! LOL!!!

The only thing I have to say about it is to watch your thyroid when you use flax as it can interfere with thyroid function. I discovered that I couldn't use flax at all because it made my thyroid swell more. Like all things though, each person has different tolerance levels, so just watch for issues.

And enjoy your breakfasts!!!

Breakfast . . . yummy when I can eat it. Oatmeal with a little butter and raw honey; organic granola with nuts and pumpkin seeds mixed with organic yogurt, maybe a little honey; what I call "grits and bits," (not vegetarian) organic yellow grits (so much more flavor and texture than white grits) with small bits of country ham cooked in a skillet til crispy. Or a smoothie with lots of ginger and turmeric. And jasmine or darjeeling tea.

I often don't eat until I've been up for a few hours unless my appetite kicks in earlier.

I feel the best when I have eggs and vegies. I often poach them on a bed of greens with some thinly sliced onions and spices. In the summer I top it with fresh picked tomatoes. I add zuchs when they're in season. If I'm tired, I just have scrambled eggs and vegetables.

Coconut flour pancakes. topped with some fruit and plain, unsweetened live yogurt.

Sometimes I'll have leftovers from the night before.

My daughter sometimes makes a light soup for breakfast, with chicken broth, greens such as kale and spinach, onion, garlic and miso. Not everyone can tolerate miso, though.

I am a vegan, too! For breakfast, I make a green smoothie with a lemon, 2 cups of raw leafy greens, some cinnamon, ginger, and SunWarrior Warrior Blend protein powder, with chia seeds, cacao nibs, and parsley on top. I also have a bowl of oatmeal with black pepper and peanut butter, and sometimes oregano or basil to keep my candida from flaring up. As well, I usually have a cup of stinging nettle tea. I avoid all fruit except lemons.
Have a nice day. :)

Hi,

At my house we usually have oatmeal sweetened slightly with a little pure maple syrup or seasonal fruit with chopped almonds. A couple of eggs from our hens or a spinach omelet are other choices. If I really feel like making something great carrot and blueberry muffins made with almond flour don't last very long around here.

I just did my second morning of oats with chia seeds, spices, and a spritz of flax oil, plus fresh vegetable juice... And I can tell for sure this isn't working for me. I feel pretty awful. I'm reminded why I have kept my diet so very limited these past two years... If I step out of my parameters I really suffer for it. I'm kind of beating myself up for going down a wrong road here but of course that doesn't help, and I'm trying to remind myself that mistakes are part of positive change. Is perfectionism a symptom of lyme?!! ;) Anyway, I still think I can do better than a grapefruit. But I think grains are out for me and I think vegetable juice is too insubstantial and leaves me light-headed. Tomorrow, at the risk of turning into a vegetable, I'm going to try a vegetable smoothie.. But hearten it up with a little avocado, maybe cacao. Wish me luck, friends.. The drama of breakfast!!
