On weekdays I don't eat breakfast, but I'll usually make my wife an Eggo waffle with some peanut butter and cinnamon sugar for breakfast as an incentive for her to get up in the morning, since she's not a morning person. Sometimes if I'm feeling motivated I'll make her a real waffle instead. On free weekends she'll make scrambled eggs and I'll make some sort of protein - bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy... whatever we have on hand, then we'll eat together.

Coffee. And then coffee.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Coffee with a bowl of yogurt, banana, Cheerios every weekday

Something with eggs on weekend. I try to be creative. If my kids are here, it might be pancakes or waffles, which technically have eggs

[–] SapienX@lemmy.wtf 1 points 5 days ago

A white Monster. I'm not proud of it.

[–] tamal3@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Peanut butter toast and a cup of coffee, usually. Y'all international types really do need to try crunchy peanut butter. Don't give me no skippy bullshit. It's amazing stuff.

[–] droning_in_my_ears@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

We use peanut butter in some traditional dishes where I'm from. I'm actually surprised I couldn't find any peanut butter with no sugar added here in Europe.

[–] Alfredolin@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 days ago

You should be able to find it, what.

[–] psoul@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

These days: Chia seed pudding (chia seeds, water, coconut cream) with roasted almonds, walnuts and pumpkin seeds and unfrozen berries.

If I’m still hungry, two eggs w cheese on toast.

All that with pour over light roast coffee and a big glass of water.

2-3 Eggs, a Sauage of some kind or bacon on on rare occasion, and a fruit smoothie usually. That's been my thing for the past 15 years or so. If it has to be quick I do oatmeal with peanut butter and fruit.

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Nothing, or very little. Today I had a piece of white bread and cut of cheddar cheese before I went to work. The bread pairs well with Prozac and other anti-depressants.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

On work days. Coffee and a banana when i wake up. Some oatmeal a bit later. On non work days, nothing.

[–] Vupware@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

Nicotine and high-octane energy drink or multiple cups of coffee. If I eat something, it’s usually a sweet treat like a donut or pastry. Hearty food in the morning makes me queasy and an appetite for real food usually doesn’t surface until almost lunch time.

Water.

Maybe a chai latte, yogurt, a piece of fruit, or chocolate oat milk.

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

If I have time, espresso + avocado toast with adobo & chili flakes, topped with a fried egg.

Otherwise, just a coffee.

[–] oh_@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Coffee, coffee, toasted English muffin with peanut butter and banana during the week. On weekends eggs n such.

[–] Sludge@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

Always coffee. It's about a 50/50 split between yogurt bowls prepped the night before with cacao nibs, bananas, some other fruit, walnuts, some natural peanut butter and a little real maple syrup. If not that then we will have eggs (from backyard chickens) and toast.

On the weekends we will make pancakes or breakfast tacos (normal go to is bacon and egg, but really like potato, tomato, onion, egg, and cheese).

[–] happydoors@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I’ll make a latte and snack on some nuts sometimes. Wife has avocado toast or two eggs

If I'm working, I don't have the energy to do more than a toasted bagel with cream cheese. On the weekend, especially if I manage to sleep in, I might do something like an omelette or egg sandwich of some kind. If I have the time, I might go big and break out a can of corned beef hash, cook that up and poach an egg in the middle of it, then have that with some toast.

If it was easier to get and keep fruit without it spoiling before I can eat it, I'd probably throw in a mandarin orange or something as an easy to eat side to my usual bagel, but American supermarkets make it hard to buy small batches of food more frequently rather than making a trip twice a month to stock up on groceries.

[–] mmmac@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago

I've been intermittent fasting recently so breakfast isn't till around noon, but it'll either be 3 eggs, turkey bacon and an avocado, overnight oats that I'll prep, or Greek yoghurt with berries chia seeds and nuts, or a blended fruit smoothie with some whey protein depending on what I'm feeling for the day

Varies.

Sometimes if I’m motivated, an egg, pesto, and cheese grilled.

Otherwise, cereal. A banana. Something real simple and easy.

[–] HakunaHafada@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago

Always coffee. Food options include low-sugar cereal, a banana, toast, fresh dates, cheese.

[–] ApatheticCactus@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Two eggs, two sausage links, and a fruit smoothie consting of a banana, apple, orange, grapefruit, and lime, with some kombucha and maybe frozen berries.

[–] DrunkAnRoot@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

back in my day it was waffels eggs and coffee but now adays with inflation its a monster

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

It varries. Pizza if I have left overs. A egg or just dry toast usually

[–] Unlearned9545@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Cereal with milk and nuts

oatmeal or yogurt with coffee

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Rice chex, english muffin with peanut butter or butter and jam. Handful of almonds and sunflower kernels. And a banana.
