Any ideas for breakfast which doesn't include milk or bread??!

[Janus]

Dd1 hates milk with a passion so we fight over trying to get her to eat cereal in the morning and it's not worth it, if she hates it she's not going to eat it.
We did switch to bread things (eg toast, pain au chocolate, pancakes, etc) but these seem to make her constipated even though she always has fruit with it to balance it into a healthy breakfast.
Doesn't like porridge or yogurt that much.
AGGHH! Before I go mad can anyone suggest anything?
BTW, she is 8 and eats fabulously at every other meal but it is ruining the start to the day by us rowing because I think she should have something healthy for breakfast.
Thanks!

scrambled eggs

fruit smoothie

crackers with cheese on

bacon and beans

Fruit salad??

Sounds weird,but my dd is not a cereal fan so often has assorted fruit or toasted fruitbread for breakfast

Cooked breakfast of some kind?Scrambled eggs/baked beans??

orgran pancake mixes. they are fab - no wheat no gluten

rice dream is delicious btw

rice with scrambled egg and chopped bacon

one of mine was like this at 9, toast, fruit juie, dried cereal and fruit. He is 11 now, bouncy and healthy and loves milk....

sorry, didn't see the no bread thing...

Any of the following, even if it's just one...

Cereal without milk
Chunks or thin slices of cheese
Scrambled egg
Slices of ham
Fruit

Perfect!

What does she like, I have always ben a eat what you like kind of person, and dont like traditional breakfast ie toast, cereal.

I will often eat leftovers from the night before, bubble and squeak with an egg on top, yogurt, pasta, rice.

I just don't get why breakfast has to be a limited choice. My dc with often eat breakfast like me have cereal for lunch then a substansial meal in the evening

have you tried milk alternatives for cereal? some of the rice milks (esp the vanilla flavoured ones) can be nice, or there's oatly milk which is really quite good. Or how about using fruit juice on her cereal?

Echo scrambled eggs, and to be honest, she eats whatever she fancies to eat some of the time , it has been known for her to eat sausages, noodles and dumplings! If she eats it, its better that eating nothing!!! (2.5 now)

sounds like she doesn't like sloppy things.
ds has dry cereal, he doesn't like it mixed with milk.
corned beef / ham
cream cheese
oatcakes
agree fruit
hard boiled egg

Drop scones - with honey, or maple syrup and bacon, or just Nutella

scrambled egg

I have exactly the same problem with dd(9).

I was fed up of throwing away cereal that wasn't getting eaten. She's become really finickity about breakfasts so we drew up a list together of acceptable things.
A turning point for me was when I started thinking outside the box so to speak...

fried potatoes (mashed or sliced if new pots) (I cook extra the night before
boiled eggs
scrambled eggs
tapioca
yoghurt
semolina
rice pudding
eggy bread
sausage and fried egg
crackers and cheese
tinned fruit cocktail/pineapple/peaches
fresh or frozen fruit made into a smoothie...

my dd was lactose intolerant, she used to eat weetabix with hot water over it mixed with fruit puree
dry cereal

now reading that it sounds gross, but she loved it although she just eats fig rolls and yoghurt now so that wasn't much help

ds2eatsdry ceareal
yoghurt
waffles
eggs

Why not let her feel she has come control over the situation?

In a calm moment, let her compile a list of what she will eat, then say she can choose what she likes from her list, but she has to eat something.

And there are not 'breakfast' foods - if she wants ham and cucumber for breakfast, its not really a problem.

Thanks so much all of you. We have tried compiling a list, I have also taken her to the supermarket on our own to choose 'breakfast' but did wander rather aimlessly down the cereal aisle!! We have tried dry cereal, a no goer and 2 weeks ago I thought I'd cracked it when I thought of fruit juice instead of milk, to then be told 'it's gross'!!
Great suggestions here thought. Scrambled eggs no go but boiled egg she will do. I think she's also much more a savoury person so beans on toast are one of her favourites but will also try crackers and cheese as she likes both, bacon and beans when I get up early enough to cook it or on weekends!, ham, eggy bread so I can maybe disguise brown bread which may help, eg fibre, and fruit which we already have but do you all think that is enough to go to school on?
Jules, drop scones sounds lovely but how do I make them??
Thanks so much everyone, I feel that things will get better with this extensive list to work from.

Does she like nuts? If she's having a mostly fruit breakfast then a handful of nuts would introduce an element of protein, which is important at breakfast.

Omelette?

fruit and dry cereal.

But if she's 8, what does she say she wants for breakfast?

Drop Scones

Dead easy, you can make the batter the night before and keep it in the fridge.

Ingredients
8oz SR flour
1oz caster sugar
2 eggs
1/2 pt milk
pinch salt
1oz melted butter, plus extra for frying
topping - e.g. golden syrup,maple syrup and bacon, fresh fruit and creme fraiche, Nutella...!etc. Handy Hint
Add sultanas to the batter. Nice with a cuppa at tea time! You can keep the batter overnight in the fridge.
Method
Mix flour, sugar and salt in a bowl.
Beat eggs into the milk, make a well in the flour and gradually whisk the egg mixture in.
Add the melted butter.
Melt some butter in a large frying pan and drop large spoonfuls of the batter in - you can do about four at a time. When bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes, flip them over and cook on the other side.
Serve for breakfast with syrup, maple syrup and bacon, fresh fruit and creme fraiche, etc.
