Thought this sounded interesting. Especially for people who really want cereal for breakfast.

Quinoa Cereal

Toast 1/4 cup quinoa in a dry pan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until it "pops"; add 1/4 cup apple juice, 1/4 cup water, and dried fruit and cook for about 20 minutes.

mmm these are soo good! I got these recipes from The Truth About beauty by Kat James, I changed some things a tiny bit:

Coconut Flour Pancakes (makes one pancake):
1 egg or 2 tbsp arrowroot powder
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
1 packet stevia
1/16 tsp salt
1/6 cup coconut milk unsweetened
1/16 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tbsp coconut flour

blend together grill over med heat with oil or butter. serve with greek yogurt and blueberries sprinkled with xylitol. =) I thought it was better than normal pancakes.

I found this while poking around the internet. I've tried it and its actually pretty good. Nice substitute for oatmeal porridge when on a limited grain diet. Its REALLY filling too.

-1/4 cup ground flax seeds
-1/4 water
-1 egg
-any add-ins (cinnamon, fruit, coconut, sweetner etc..)

Mix well the flax, water and egg and microwave for about 45 seconds.
Move the cooked part into the center and put the add-ins there.
Microwave for 45 more seconds.

I saw another version without the egg...just pour boiling water over the flax and let sit for a minute.

Back when I was a vegan eating oatmeal and rice milk for breakfast I could never really get full. I would eat huge amounts of the stuff and never feel satisfied even though my stomach was physically full to the point of bloating. I'm glad those days are over for good!

Not a mistery though. (explainig this might be helpful to others)
Outmeal has a low satiety index and is usually mixed with other low saxiety index foods.
The result is a palatable but non-satiating combination.
For example a cup of oatmeal and rice milk has a certain saxiety index.
Exponentially if we start adding sugar to it, the more sugar we will add the more the satiety index will plummet.

Sweets are the least satiating and most caloric dense preparations on earth (think cakes)
With a first course it is easy to settle on 100 calories per 100 grams but with sweets it is no less than 300 calories per 100 grams. A person eating only first courses could easily lose and maintain weight. If a person has ate sweets at every meal it would be absolutely impossible not to gain weight.

Spinach, peppers and eggs are clearly 100 times for satiating.

Another common terrible combination is ham sandwiches (bread and cured meat) the bottom of satiatability. It's interesting for example how a big plate of undressed pasta is often considered a "sacrifice" to prevent weight gain while it is actually worse than a more rich food. In fact a smaller portion of pasta seasoned with veggies and a bit of better is a correct satiatible combination.

But let's say you want to maintain a "sweet" breakfast because you can't stand the idea of eating lunch foods at breakfast or because you feel you need some sugars to function better in the morning; then it's easy (knowing the caloric density and satiety indexes of foods) to design a satiating breakfast holding you for many hours.

These are some possible examples:

English cream with cinnamon and orange

Fruit pie

Strudel

Ricotta cheese and cocoa

Mascarpone and honey-iced figs

Cottage cheese and honey

Yogurt and fresh fruits

Banana omelette

But let's say you want to maintain a "sweet" breakfast because you can't stand the idea of eating lunch foods at breakfast...

That's why I eat baked sweet potato slices with butter and cinnamon. And occasionally, a tiny amount of my sister's homeade orange or lemon marmalade stirred into the butter.

[thehealthydude]

For breakfast lol I eat a green smoothie! 1lb of fresh crispy lettuce with my favorite monkey food! oh and its gotta have at least 1-2 ounces of super chia seed to build strong and healthy bones!! and have energy like an aztek warrior

[I hate redspots]

Oatmeal Pudding

1 1/2 cups oats
2 1/2 cups water
pinch of sea salt

Boil salted water. Add oats and cook until mixture thickens. Take off heat and let cool in tupperware. This usually makes about a week's worth, with one serving per day. Eating starches cold reduces their impact of blood sugar.

This is a nice dish with stevia and cinnamon, you could also add nutmeg. Sometimes I'll have this with flakes of unsweetened coconut and eat it with a piece of dark chocolate.

Cookie Balls - but would make good breakfast bars

Ingredients:
2C rolled oats
1 large apple (finely diced)
3/4 C raisins
1C nut butter
1/4lb whole pecans
1/2 stick butter
1/2C carob chips (optional)
2 eggs
1C water
1/2 tsp Stevia powder concentrate.

How to Prepare:
Combine rolled oats, eggs, water and butter. Stir in nut butter and then other ingredients except pecans. Form into balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Place a pecan on top of each ball. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

From the Steviashop.com site. http://www.steviashop.com/recipes.php#17

Edit: I tried it. They really don't make 'balls.' More like lumps. Maybe if you grated the apple instead of chopping. But I think they would be better, and easier, as bar cookies. Just spread in the bottom of the greased pan and bake. Then I think you cut into squares before they cool completely.

Don't reserve this meal just for breakfast; it's great for lunch or dinner as well. You may not think to enjoy vegetables with eggs, but it is a wonderful combination and a way to include more vegetables in your Healthiest Way of Eating. Frozen vegetables are a good choice when fresh is not available and it is also very convenient when you don't have much time. Enjoy!
