For those of you who eat oatmeal for breakfast, please share your honed and perfected life-extension or preventative medicinal breakfast recipes. Here's the best one I can come up with so far:

Organic steelcut oats, flax seed powder, maca powder, cacao powder

dried goji berries and blueberries (aronia berries instead if i had the cash)

pomegranate syrup and honey for sweetener

a bag of chai tea or pappy's sassafras tea for more flavor and balance

walnuts for protein and omega 3's

Anyone else?

Muesli with a lot of berries + 1-2 hard boiled eggs + your AM supplements of choice.

soaked oatmeal with yogurt

walnuts

peanuts

cashews

sesame

sunflower

pumpkin seeds

almonds

cocoa powder

mixed beans

dried goji berries

raisins

ground he shou wu (chinese herb aka fo-ti)

ground huang qi (aka astragalus)

ground orange peel (organic)

blackstrap molasses

olive oil

ground flaxseeds

2g each of the nuts measured out ahead of time for the week.

Beans, flax powder, oatmeal, raisins, walnuts cooked ahead of time as a breakfast base. Usually enough for 3 weeks.

300 g of this mixture each day gets me a great start to the day with > 50% RDI of Vitamins and Minerals for about 350 calories.

Energy lasts until noon.  It doesn't taste right if I leave out the blackstrap molasses.

I have a travel version of the above too for when I go on trips away from home.

My daily muesli:

1 cup (250 g) of homemade synbiotic yogurt

(made from pastured full-fat dairy, a probiotic starter by Chr. Hansen [streptococcus termophilus, lactobacillus acidophilus LA5 and bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis BB12], enriched with 2% inulin, 2% lactulose and 1000 IU vitamin D3 plus 200 mcg vitamin K2 per cup)

60 g muesli mix

(ingredients: rolled cereal grains 60% [oat, wheat, rye, barley], dried fruits 30% [sultanas, dates, banana chips, cranberries, figs, apples, apricots, pears, plums, strawberries, sour cherries, raspberries], granola [oats, oligofructose, canola oil], corn rice flakes [corn, rice, sugar, salt], sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds)

1/2 apple, diced with skin and core

30 g frozen mixed berries

(ingredients: red and black currants, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries)

10 g mixed nuts

(4 almonds, 2 cashews, 2 walnut halves)

10 g pumpkin seeds

10 g flax seeds, ground

1 teaspoon dried aronia berries

1 teaspoon grape seed flour

100 g Organic frozen blueberries

50 g frozen cauliflower 

75 g Organic spinach

1 tablespoon Organic flax seeds 

25 g whey protein

40 g Organic oats

5 g husk

1 g beta alanine

Xylitol

All mixed in my Vitamix

Followed by 20g 85% chocolate and 10 hazelnuts 

1/3 cup whole oats

2/3 cup water

1 Tsp cinnamon

1 dash of iodized salt

2 heaping Tbs of crushed English Walnuts

1 Tbs of virgin coconut oil

1 handful of Costco organic mixed berries (strawberries, pomegranate, blueberries, raspberries, cherries)

1 pouch of unsweetened dark chocolate (Cocoavia)

2 stoppers of clear Stevia for sweetness

Hmm, Oatmeal (not quick oats) simmered in skin milk for 5 minutes, then chopped Banana and Cranberries added, with dark chocolate pieces, stevia and cinnamon. Or something like that. 

1/2 Cup Steel Cut Oats, 2 Eggs, 1 Tbs Coconut Manna...  

I would love to try oatmeal for breakfast(healthy), I think I must try different recipes then will come up my own.

Why just breakfast? Man I eat that shit all day long... Think I might be addicted to steel cut oats.

Heh he.  I tried that too for a couple of years and wound up with low HDL and high triglycerides.  I've also read lots of comments and studies that confirm that a high carb diet with lots of oatmeal will cause you to get a bad cholesterol numbers after your next doctor's visit.

However, I wanted to add that it can be part of a balanced diet.  Just don't think you can live a healthy life on oats alone.  It doesn't work for most people.

I exaggerate a bit of course... But that's good to know, I've never heard of that before. I usually keep the carbs to 250 max... with a variety of fruits/veggies and GF grains. 

I avoid breakfast altogether.  I always want to eat more throughout the day when I've started the day with breakfast of any kind. 

Man, I'm quite the opposite... Sometimes I'll get up a couple hours early just to eat breakfeast, then go back to sleep so I can wake up and have breakfeast all over again.
