    I'm also reactive hypoglycemic. Some gotos are breakfast casserole (usually eggs, goat/feta cheese, mushrooms, onions, bell pepper, turkey breakfast sausage, and asparagus) which I make in huge batches and then freeze, protein powder and a spoonful of peanut butter (not for everyone, but this is my lazy breakfast), and I've even done things like a salad topped with chicken, cheese, and veggies (not an on the go breakfast).

    I now mostly skip breakfast and just have coffee until around 10-11am when I have a protein shake. You're just going to need to find what works for you.

    Eliminating breakfast carbs solved this for me. Fat has no insulin spike, so fat with some protein fixed this. Fried or scrambled eggs can be pretty quick to make. Using real cream in tea or coffee can also provide 'breakfast' - two ounces of heavy cream is 240 cal and 24 gr of fat and will not spike insulin at all.

    Once you develop a routine cooking simple eggs they are very fast.

    I could never eat breakfast regulary before due to (even with low GI carbs) the
    wicked crashing by 11am.
