Thanks @Queenmunchy! But I think anything involving eggs, onion, pepper, etc. would smell pretty offensive to my colleagues at the office lolol
Plus, I don't really have much time to prepare things in advance.

protein smoothie...

fruit, almond milk, protein powder in a blender...goes in a cup.

and they don't smell offensive actually most people love them at my office.

As mentioned as well...cereal with milk, fruit salad, toast, nutella sandwich with banana or peanut butter with banana......

as for time in advance really??? you don't have 30mins to make a breakfast for the week?

I had knee surgery recently, and I am on crutches so yeah - it takes someone on crutches a pretty long time to cook stuff - thus I was looking for quick and easy.

No need to be so snarky. I don't know why people on here feel the need to be like that.

I wasn't being snarky...but you didn't give all the info either...

Glad you honed in on the last sentence instead of any ideas I gave you...

*insert snark* and no 30 mins in an oven doesn't take much to do crutches or no.

Actually yeah it's quite difficult to cook on a stove top and put things in an oven when you're on non-weight bearing crutches. Even getting things from microwave to table is a hassle.

But thank you so much for the tips.

Im allergic to oatmeal; so i do rolled wheat. I just soak it in almond milk, add some fruit and let it sit overnight and add some honey and cinnamon in the morning. You can microwave it or not the consistency is the same as cooked oatmeal.

fruit with nuts
left overs (because im lazy)
pb and honey
chia seed pudding
smoothie

If I can fit it in a mason jar, its fair game. Seriously though I do find it very convenient to prep ahead of time and just keep small mason jars in the fridge for grab and go meals.

For the posters who recommended peanut butter...THANK YOU! I never thought of having it for breakfast before, but I put it on my nutria-grain waffles this morning and it was fantastic!

Peanut butter solves all problems.

So this sounds weird to some people, but I love cold buttermilk pancakes with peanut butter smeared on them. My mom would have leftovers from making breakfast, and I would always eat the leftovers right out of the fridge. Sometimes just plain.

OMG- we're soul mates! I thought my husband and I were the only ones who love cold pancakes with peanut butter. Everyone else turns their noses up.

Have you ever tried steel cut oats rather than the packaged instant kind? It's much tastier and way more filling. I make mine in a rice cooker. I add chopped apples, reduced sugar dried cranberries, walnuts and cinnamon. When it's done cooking, make individual servings by scooping it into a mini muffin tray and freezing it. 2 minutes in the microwave (which smells wonderful...like oatmeal cookies) and you have a hot breakfast. It would be about 5 minutes total on your feet to make breakfast for a full week.

Other quick options, peanut butter and honey on half of a whole wheat bagel or an entire multi-grain English muffin, or a hard boiled egg a piece of fruit.

I love cold pancakes almost as much as I love cold pizza

I always eat breakfast at my desk.

1. I make a big batch of muffins and put them in the freezer. Nuke them for 30 seconds before leaving the house.
2. Boiled eggs (not sure if you eat eggs)
3. Refrigerator oatmeal, made the night before.

If you have a source of really hot water (like from a coffee maker or keurig), you could make oatmeal, grits... anything that is instant. Also, I get in a lot of fruit this way by just having fruit for breakfast. A lot of people I work with make shakes (like full of fruits/veggies) and bring with them. Muffins are an easy go-to, and you can make them healthier by using certain veggies or fruits and not using as much sugar. Cereal bars, nutri-grain bars or really any type of "bar"...you can make homemade bars. You could also take boiled eggs (if you eat eggs).

Hope this helps.

Starbucks as great options for grab and go! My faves are the spinach wrap and the PB&J lunch box... both of which are meat free and totally yummy!

I do a hard boiled egg and half an apple with my doctored coffee. That keeps me going through the morning.
