Chia seeds

You can soak them over night or just add hot warm or cool water.  If you don't soak them make sure you take in enough liquid because they will soak it up at some point.

Try adding coconut milk and berries or kiwi and banana or whatever other delectable treat you like.  You can add other seeds or nuts too!

Grains

Amaranth, Millet and quinoa all make excellent breakfasts especially mixed with coconut milk, berries or fruit and nuts.  Try cranberries too, they astringe your jing (in Chinese medicine this means that they help keep your vital life essence in).

Soak the grain over night (especially the amaranth) then cook like rice.  Amaranth is my favorite, it comes out with a unique almost gelatinous consistency that is surprisingly smooth and yummy.

Mixed berries or pears (sometimes cooked, fired in ghee or baked in the toaster oven) with coconut milk, walnuts, macadamia, almonds or whatever you like.
