Latte at work

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.

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

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

Cereal with milk and nuts

[–] scoobford@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago

A smoothie and/or bagel with cream cheese.

On weekends, I usually skip it because I'm asleep. If I do make something, it's for a date, so pancakes/French toast, eggs, and some fruit.

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

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

Otherwise, just a coffee.

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

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

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Varies.

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

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

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

idk, its kind of variable because i truly just do not give a fuck at this point, but my breakfast may be one of the following:

nothing, just not hungry that morning

some kind of soup + toast

small 2-3 egg scramble w/potato, bell peppers, bit of cheese, bit of some kind of meat

ramen w/chicken and veggies

... throw on a small apple or handful of grapes, maybe a small salad (no dressing) or handful of baby carrots, maybe a small muffin onto any of those if i am more hungry than usual and/or trying to make that meal hit more food groups and be a bit more well rounded.

I do a peanut butter vanilla oatmeal fiber meal smoothie in lieu of breakfast. It's tasty and filling and slows my digestion down for the rest of the day. It's a custom recipe mostly.

[–] fitjazz@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

My standard is a mix of plain Greek yogurt and plain "American?" yogurt with hemp, chia, and flax seeds, cinnamon toast crunch, and wheat checks all mixed together. A lot of times I will also do a banana, spinach, ginger, and tumeric protein smoothie.

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

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

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

[–] shadshack@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

I usually skip breakfast, but recently I've been skipping lunch and so I have a protein shake for breakfast so I'm not extra hangry by dinner time.

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

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

[–] Fit_Series_573@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Eggs, sausage and potatoes/rice most of the time.

[–] knightly@pawb.social 1 points 5 months ago

Bacon, eggs, and biscuits.

[–] Brutticus@midwest.social 1 points 5 months ago

Three times a week Ill make overnight Oats. the rest, Yogurt

[–] Canopyflyer@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Typically: Bowl of cereal, milk and glass of OJ. Cereals I rotate through: Honey nut Cheerios, Cinnamon Chex, Mini Wheats

Once a week: I make malted waffles for the family. Usually on Sundays.

Once in a great while: donuts. I love donuts but at my age I need to restrict how many and how often I eat them.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

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.

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

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

[–] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago

I baked some pumpkin muffins with oats this past weekend. I usually eat that with a homemade latte. :)

[–] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Farina with hot water. And coffee

[–] MurrayL@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

🤣 two in one, one in another...

But seriously, i bought all my instant coffee for the next four years before the tariffs kicked in.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Pepperidge farm cookies and almond milk or hot cocoa when it's cold.

Coffee and some kind of pastry.

[–] ZamBan@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Yogurt with blueberries and granola on top

Depends. If I'm in a "job starts at 7 AM" kind of place, I'll probably have a banana for breakfast. If I've got time to sit around the house and eat something, maybe a bowl of cereal or oatmeal depending on the weather. On those slow Saturdays, where I've got the whole morning before mowing the lawn, I'll do the pancakes and bacon routine.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 5 months ago

Leftovers, soup (typically Korean), or some sort of noodle dish (ramen, yakisoba, pancit, whatever I have around).

[–] kometes@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

single egg burrito with fried cabbage and onions + coffee
