Hey Everyone,

I really want to be superhero ... I have tried and only successfully gotten threw 2 days in the past few weeks. I find it hard to come up with breakfast ideas ... I really only like eating breakfasty things .. I always end up eating oatmeal ... All the cereals or breads I can find have cane sugar in them so I can't have those on superhero days. Other then that I sometimes have fruit salads .. but thats not so superhero. I need some good breakfasty breakfast recipes !! Any ideas?? Thanks so much id really love to be superhero but finding it hard in a family of meat eaters who get annoyed by my eating!

If you want 'breakfasty' type stuff, that definitely makes it more difficult. Instead of oatmeal, have you tried Alicia's rice porridge (or try different grains in place of oatmeal - you can eat similar things with them)? The polenta, millet, and corn cereal recipe is really good. She also mentions the steamed sourdough with tahini and jam, which is super good, but you wouldn't want to eat that all the time. TKD scrambled tofu recipe is also good, you could cut it in half and eat it over a couple of days. Maybe you could work up to more 'dinner' type meals - like try having rice in a small bowl of miso. Once you get used to that, add some greens or wakame or arame. You might be surprised at how good it can feel when you have something more like a 'regular' meal for breakfast. But some people have a hard time. I could eat steamed veggies all day, but my boyfriend cannot switch from 'breakfast' foods, though he's tried.

I used to LOVE barley porridge,but I have gluten sensitivities and I had it too many times and got an allergic reaction.Sometimes I make fresh juices,or oatmeal,sometimes whole grain frozen waffles.It really varies.I need something sweet like fruit first thing in the morning, so I can't be a total superhero. Living in the tropics,it feels almost criminal not have fresh papaya,banana, or strawberries at once!

sweet potato or pumpkin are vegetables you could add to quinoa or other grain that are sweeter/more breakfasty

I've been making quinoa first thing in the morning.I put dried figs,one date,raisins,sometimes some sesame oil,blueberries,goji berries.It's so good!I've noticed I'm more alert,too,because of the high protein content.
