Help with breakfast?!
Answers: I've been a vegetarian for over a month and I failed only 1 time by eating pogos (corndogs) with my son (yuck) n they made me queasy. I have had no cravings for chicken, which was my fave meat forever lol, or any other meat. Now since I have that out of the way, I am looking for help with my breakfasts. I like breakfast food like oatmeal and cereals but I have no motivation to eat any of it at all! I'm looking for new breakfast ideas that are vegetarian friendly that will help me get healthier so I have my breakfast again. :)
GREEN SMOOTHIES

I do Apples dipped in Nut Butters allot.
I like LaraBars(raw nut/date bar)
Toaster Waffles: Vegan ones ~Stream of Life or Van's both excellent. They are good with Nut butters & Natural Jelly.
If I am out I get Hashbrowns with veggies & salsa. Usually I look at the veggies going into omelets & ask for them on my hashbrowns. Typically it's Onions, Bell Peppers, Tomatoes, Mushrooms etc.
Slainté (to your health)
Smoothies! Add some soft tofu to them to boost protein. I personally like frozen blueberry with honey and tofu - add a small amount of soy milk to help them blend. Any frozen fruit works as it makes it like a milk shake.
First thing in the morning drink a glass of water.... fresh and cool.
Pancakes made from cereals, fresh fruit with yogurt, toast & jam, tea & lemon.....
egg whites, tofu, grapefruit,
grapefruit sprinkled with sugar -pancakes with maple syrup-waffles -bananas and cream with light sugar(strawberries also )-I am not a vegetarian but these are great!
Cereal can be pretty boring and bland, unless you add something to it. I like a good bran cereal that has 100% DV of folic acid in one serving. Blueberries or bananas are great with bran cereal. Then I like to add some flax seeds to it(about 2 tbsp), these are also a great source of fiber, and omega 3's, which most of us don't get enough of. I can't stand skim milk, so I opt for calcium enriched rice milk. Trust me, it's awesome. Look, I know exactly how you feel. Once you've decided that the main purpose of eating is to satisfy your health and not your taste buds, it's sometimes hard to be enthused, but you should feel very lucky and proud that you figured out one of the most important things in life. Most people don't (obesity, heart attacks, diabetes, etc..) Just think of the benefits of eating healthy.. it kinda gives whatever you're eating that "missing ingredient"
creamed beef on toast
biscuits and sausage gravy

Since you're not vegan, you could make delicious eggs omelettes with lots of veggies, green pepper, onion, olive, etc. You can add tofu as well. Muffins, coffee cake, french toast, pancakes, waffles, etc!!

Granola or Muesli with sliced bananas
