Breakfast Menu Examples Start breakfast with healthful foods that provide energy. For breakfast, protein from poached eggs is healthy, even for those who only want to consume the egg-white portion. Add a whole-grain slice of bread to serve with the poached eggs and a wedge of cantaloupe. Another breakfast idea is to dress up oatmeal with fiber and flavor by adding flax seeds, apple chucks, cinnamon and a tablespoon of walnuts. With the oatmeal, enjoy a cup of herbal tea and some non-fat yogurt. Breakfast can be fun and fanciful, especially when creating a quick frittata made with vegetables such as asparagus, broccoli, celery, onion or zucchini. Add a slice of fresh pineapple to help digest the egg protein in the frittata. Whole grains are an important part of the diabetic menu planning. Whole-grain breads, rolls or muffins are a quick way to create breakfast. Add natural peanut butter and non-sugar fruit spread to any whole-grain bread and combine it with a delicious and nutritious fruit smoothie. Cheesy Scrambled Eggs Photo Credit Diane Shear/Demand Media Scrambled eggs are easy to prepare for a quick breakfast. Heat a little bit of olive oil in a skillet, add two eggs and 1 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese. Season to taste, stir with a spatula and cook for one to two minutes. Serve your cheesy scrambled eggs with 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes and a slice of whole-grain bread. This complete diabetic menu contains 338 calories, 17g of carbohydrates and 2.9g of fiber. If you aim for 45 to 60g of carbohydrates, add one to two additional servings of fruit or bread, a glass of milk or a yogurt. Granola, Berries and Greek Yogurt It can be difficult to find the perfect granola, with a good mixture of your favorite ingredients but without added sugar. Preparing your own granola is the best thing you can do. Mix old-fashioned oat flakes, unsweetened shredded coconut, almonds, walnuts and sunflower seeds, for example, with a bit of honey or maple syrup and some dried fruits. Bake the mix in the oven for approximately 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve 1/4 cup granola with 6 oz. of plain Greek yogurt and 1 cup sliced strawberries. This breakfast contains about 328 calories, 47g of carbohydrates and 6.1g of fiber
