BFC Breakfast Ideas - 20+ Ideas to start your day right!

I love reading all the blogs and facebook posts and get so many new ideas and recipes from them. The problem is I often forget where I read something and find myself skimming over blog posts and facebook discussions to find that one recipe or tip I was looking for.

I started cutting and pasting them into a word document and thought it might be a great idea to post them according to meals and snacks. So if you are ever in a hurry or stuck in a rut, you can turn to one place for some new ideas. I am not going to post where each idea came from because it would take too much time. Alot of these ideas and tips are from our blog sites. Hope this gives everyone some new meal ideas or reminds you of some you had forgotten.

Since breakfast is the most important part of the day, I'm going to start with this first. If you have been eating the same thing and are bored, or if you just need to mix it up a bit, I think you will get some inspiration here. Leave your own comments and ideas and I will add them to the post.

So here are some of the ideas that you all like to have for breakfast.

1) French toasted coconut bread!  I sliced up a loaf of coconut bread (each slice was a little over a half an ounce) and soaked it in 1 egg and 1/4 cup almond milk, along with a packet of stevia and come cinnamon. I fried the slices up in a pan with loads of butter, and ate 4 slices (3 ounces) with a bit of peanut butter and jam. S/C value 1/1. ( for coconut bread go to Rosalie or Dawns blog to get the recipe)

2) 2 poached eggs and 3 pieces of bacon on a toasted sandwich thin.

3) Oatmeal made with water, Uncle Sams cereal dry with a few blackberries or uncle sams with greek yogurt

4) a couple of eggs with melted cheese on toast....or 2 slices of WW whole wheat toast. And sometimes a couple slices of bacon with the eggs and cheese on the WW toast for an egg sandwich.

5) a cheese stick or some nuts. Doesn't have to be breakfast food!

6) Protein shake 1 scoop — Nature's Factor Whey Protein powder
                          1 − 1 1/2 cup — Almond milk (unsweetened)

                          2 tbs. — Probiotics

                          1/2 cup — ice

                          1 packet of Stevia

Try adding a cup of fresh spinach leaves sometime. You won't know it's in there, but it will turn the shake green.
