What's your easy go to for breakfast?

peavy09

I've always found that the hardest part of dieting or eating healthy is being prepared. Eventually I'll end up astray from normal routine and be in need of a quick fix for breakfast. Living in a rural area with only fast food and gas stations offering breakfast, it can be challenging to find something that's not either fried or dripping with grease.

Light n fit greek yogurt. You can buy it in individual servings or a large tub. Pair with fruit. Recently, I've been chopping up banana (or strawberry/peach/mango) and mixing the fruit with vanilla greek yogurt, spreading it on a rice cake(apple cinnamon, caramel, or chocolate flavor). sometimes with a tsp or so of peanut butter
For grab and go, just use the individual tubs with a fruit of choice.
Hard boiled eggs
Protein latte
Joseph's pita(only 60 calories)with egg white, avocado, and bagel seasoning
Rx bar(or other protein/meal bar) and fruit
Omelette/scramble with veggies

You do need to plan ahead a little, just to have some options on hand, but these are quick easy meals and snacks

I cook my own cereals in a rice cooker. I usually buy the cereals bulk online via Amazon. The cereals I cook are pearl barley (white and black varieties), millet, buckwheat (which I roast first), black rice, brown rice and sometimes burghal or quinoa. I usually cook up a few cups at a time for the week and leave it in the fridge. Then for brekky I just scoop out a cup of cooked grain, chop up an apple or another piece of fruit, add half a cup of skim milk, some seeds (pumpkin and sunflower seeds), some ricotta and a touch of a jam or preserves. I've been doing this for breakfast for a year or so and can't live without it. In winter I heat the apple and the cereal up in the microwave before putting everything else on.

Sunday I made a pan of the best blueberry oat bars that I got from this site. It made 6 servings so I packed them up for breakfasts for all of this week. It was a hit. I am making another pan for next week too.

I have scrambled eggs and oatmeal most days. I eat Coach's Oats and nuke them...4 minutes. While they're nuking I make my scrambled eggs. All in all, it takes me somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes to have my breakfast plated.

Plain whole-milk yogurt with fruit and nuts added (and sometimes Ezekiel cereal if I want more calories).

Also I always carry a protein bar (either Quest or ONE) and a Kind bar in my purse for emergency food situations.

Prepare the night before. Chop/dice/weigh/measure the night before while you're watching a tv show. Log it all for the next day the night before. I do that. Sometimes I do it at 4pm cuz that's when Judge Judy is on lol. if I prep especially veggies like that for next day, my veggie intake is double. Also, set your alarm to get up and eat at home. Saves ya money. Take a cooler with your own food/snacks.

Gas stations have cartons of milk, sandwiches, protein bars, bananas at the checkout. That sort. Think outside the grease hehe.

PROTIP: when I overslept, I could still get eggs/eggwhites/cheese thrown into a saucepan while I was jumping into clothes. Put it in a 4-cup measuring container & ate it while getting to work. ya I know, no eating while driving blah blah blah. Put a handtowel on your lap to protect clothes. it worked. I could get out the door in under 6 minutes and that included hot rollers in my hair

Hard boiled eggs. If I’m running late, I take ‘em on the go! (That’s what secret compartments in purses are for .. lol )

Faced with a morning rush, I like overnight oats. The night before I layer 1/2c rolled oats, 1/2c milk, 1/2c plain Greek yogurt topped with fruit - usually frozen berries - in a pint jar.

Generally eggs and normally fried in butter or kefir and some berries. Takes a few minutes.

I just do a greek yogurt mixed with some defrosted frozen berries and some protein powder. I have this pretty much every day, it's easy, quick, and fills me up for several hours. Sometimes will throw a bit of granola in to it too, depending on how hungry I am, and what the rest of my day looks like food-wise.

I doubt anything healthy for breakfast can be found at a fast food place or gas station. As peavy09 posted earlier: being prepared helps.

Chia(28g), ground flax(16g), and whey(16g) in black coffee over a few cups. Add a handful of blueberries(28g) to a serving of plain, full dairy Greek Yogurt (3/4 cup). 462 Kcal, 25.5g fat, 14.5g fiber, 14.5g net carbs, 34g protein. Fast, easy and filling, but not as yummy as bacon and eggs.

If nothing else, you could keep an assortment of breakfast, energy and protein bars in your pantry for when you're really rushed for time.

Gas station convenience stores actually sell real food. Fruit, yogurt, string cheese, hard boiled eggs...

I wouldn't poo poo fast food places either when orders can be customized.

lol There I go, poo poo'n again. The question was about easy breakfast, not groceries. I take that to mean a meal, but I get your point.

I was just trying to put your doubts to rest in case you or the OP are ever stranded in front of a Circle K and find yourselves starving to death. You CAN find something quick and easy! And even mealish. 😁

The Cowboy. Bacon, eggs, potatoes O'Brien, sourdough toast with butter and cowboy coffee. I can throw it together in less than 10 minutes. I do use frozen O'brien potatoes and I precook my bacon.

I hard boil a dozen eggs on Sunday, put them in the fridge and grab two on my way out the door each morning.

When I get absolutely sick of eggs, I combine plain greek yogurt, protein powder and frozen berries in a tupperware the night before and grab it on my way out the door in the morning.

I'm another person who always has hardboiled eggs on hand. If I have time, I am more likely to have eggs cooked some other way, but if on the go and need to grab something, or home but no time to cook, they are great -- usually with something else I always have on hand like cottage cheese, leftover veg, half an avocado, or some other kind of fruit.

This morning I was in a rush but managed half an avocado, 2 hardboiled eggs, and cottage cheese.
