Ask HN: So, what'd you have for breakfast today?

There seems to be a lot of nutrition-speak going around here, so I thought I'd ask the question. (question taken from etcetera in #startups)

Sandwich with chocolate sprinkles (Boterham met hagelslag)
I had the most amazing breakfast burrito (eggs, chorizo, veggies, guac, beans all wrapped in a wheat tortilla) and green tea after I came back from the gym. Didn't know that Starbucks makes 30oz drinks now.
Piece of white bread toast with grape jelly, three or four small bites of a sausage patty (I prefer the edge), and a glass of milk. Yum!
Carrot/Apple smoothie (home made) + porridge (with blueberries)
As usual before noon, nothing but a couple cups of black coffee.
Granola with raw milk, but boy does that breakfast burrito speek had sound good!
1/4 cup greek yogurt with frozen blueberries and ground flaxseed.
Greek Yogurt is awesome (Fage and Chobani are the two brands I've most frequently come across).

I enjoy mixing any of the following: granola, strawberries, walnuts, almonds, honey, raisins.

And if you want to mix things up wrt to your yogurt viscosity, try the soupier "Australian-style" yogurt from Wallaby. It's a nice contrast to the thick Greek-style yogurt.

A bunch of fruit (apple, peach, grapes, blueberries, strawberries) and a half a bowl of muselix cereal.
Scrambled eggs and cheese. Glass of milk.
Granola bar + glass of water before bike ride, blueberry bagel (plain) afterwards. Out of bananas or I'd have had one with the bagel.
Leftover baked chicken with Parmesan, baked potato, and blueberry muffins. Jasmine green tea.
Pot of coffee and a cigarette.
I know that 'me too' statements aren't generally accepted on HN, so I feel like I'm unnecessarily expounding on the notion, but that's basically what I had today, yesterday, the day before, etc.

While I'd love to kick the cigarette vice, I feel like it's my soul that has the coffee addiction. I could take or leave the caffeine even (maybe), but the taste of coffee is simply irreplaceable on all but the hottest of mornings.

My morning routine is pretty standard, today was no different: cup of coffee, hour and a half of yoga, bowl of steel cut oatmeal with fruit and nuts (today: apples and almonds) and a splash of milk. Unbeatable.
Today wasn't normal — had a medium latte and an apple dessert thingy at a coffee shop.

Normally though, my favorite thing for breakfast is super healthy and filling: - Quickly fry two pieces of turkey bacon - Microwave some frozen spinach, drain. - Combine cut up bacon and spinach in a bowl, add an egg, a healthy glug of egg whites (mine come in a carton), splash of milk, herbs, salt, pepper, and miscellaneous veggies from the fridge. - Scramble, top with some shredded cheddar, enjoy.

Full of protein and healthy veggies, super tasty, very enjoyable.

Twinkies and Mt. Dew :(
Similar here: A mysterious pastry from the vending machine, though I actually drank water with it.
Cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese, and a sugar free Redbull.
I make overkill health food smoothies for breakfast.

A cup of soymilk, a random fruit, veggie powder, and 1 tablespoon each of lethicin, fiber, ground flaxseeds and bone meal powder in a single-serving blender.

It tastes good, it's really filling and it's not that much harder to make or clean than cereal.

Some cottage cheese mixed with natural whole milk yogurt and sour cream. A small cup of coffee with a tablet of sugarine.
An egg (fried, over easy) and well, I don't know what to call this: a piece of whole wheat bread, grilled on one side, then spread a light layer of ranch dressing on the soft side, sprinkle generously with nutritional yeast, and then apply a thin layer of Frank's buffalo sauce on top of that. I know it sounds disgusting, but trust me, it's f'ing delicious. I'm salivating now just thinking about it.
Spot the Australian: Four Weetbix, and Orange Juice.
Milk and cereal. Every day.
Fried Eggs, Soy Sauce / Sambal, Spring Onions... Ketosis ftw.
A can of Diet Coke and a banana.

I seldom eat before noon, when I do it's usually a piece of fruit.

croissant with apricot jam, muesli (with water, not milk) and coffee
