I've had really good luck with the Fiber One brands of cereals....the Kashi brands are okay with my numbers, too, but taste like cardboard.

Light yogurt is another thing I sometimes grab.

A can of V8 juice is something I like to keep around because it's easy and I've never been much of a breakfast person. The milk chocolate Slim Fast shakes are good, too (but only the brand name, the off brands taste like chalk). I've also found that most of the Slim Fast brand of meal bars and snack bars taste good, too, and if you look you'll see they're decently balanced regarding protein, fiber, carbs, fat, etc. I've tried other brands of meal bars (like Atkins, South Beach, etc) and most of them don't taste good....some are more tolerable than others, but Slim Fast has been at it all long enough to have figured it out, apparently.

And keep in mind that you don't have to limit breakfast to traditional breakfast foods.

Fiber One cereal would be my first choice with unsweetened almond milk and add some blackberries.

Hi, I eat either raisins ,dates and walnut oatmeal instant with 1 slice toast w/peanut butter lightly I like chunky pb. Or a pb and bananna sandwich, or 1/2 cup Gits with a little cheddar cheese, 2 slice bacon/w a slice of toast whole wheat.

I eat nothing for breakfast best to let the gut rest from last meal of previous day. I have a little chia tea with nut milk made from almonds walnuts sunflower seeds blended and strained a little tupelo honey high in FOS low in sucrose considered safe for diabetics

If you dont like the taste of eggs on their own, how about making a quiche.

Some mornings I have fiber one cereal. It's high fiber and keeps the carbs down. Also, sometimes I eat a high protein bar or drink slimfast. I'm still fairly new to this but my numbers have been pretty good.

I have been having hard boiled eggs when I get to work. I had a very bad habit of not eating breakfast, so I struggle with breakfast. When I have the gumption I make egg beater spinach quiche cups.

After struggling with my fasting numbers in the morning...I had been eating oatmeal with flax, cinnamon, splenda or agave nectar...but my MD advised my that fiber one better. I like to have a boiled egg with it.

I used to eat oatmeal for breakfast too.. But its really too high in carbs for me... I did the fiber one thing too which was better and less calories.. But now Im doing cottage cheese ( no fat/ no salt) takes some getting used too and blackberries with cinnamon.. or a egg white vegie omlet if I have time.. The agave nectar really spikes by BS.. probably not as much as sugar but more than I want... so I end up using stevia if I have to make something sweet

I don't know if this combination would appeal to you, but these are a couple fo things I cobble together in the morning, and they don't spike my BS very much at all.

Corn tortilla, lightly toasted, with a bit of apple butter (which has no butter in it!), sprinkled with a little cheese, then folded over for a breakfast "taco".

OR a toasted corn tortilla, with a couple of tablespoons of black beans, and a little cheese or some scrambled egg, for a wrap.

If you want to avoid meat, a combination of beans and a grain (corn tortilla, quinoa, etc) will give you a complete protein and not up your triglycerides. A protein and a carb are also lower on the glycemic index, so it's all good.
