Fast Breakfast ideas

sjanes9

I have to be at work at 5 A.M.. Because of the early time, I would like to find some easy, possibly pre-made, breakfast ideas. Any thoughts?

Not sure if you like oatmeal but this is easy because you prep it the night before:

OR

Check out that blog's whole breakfast site. There are a lot of options that you can pre-make at the start of the week that you are then able to have on the go throughout the week.

Just saw this in my email this morning - http://www.cookinglight.com/eating-smart/smart-choices/healthy-fast-food-breakfasts-00412000067619/page13.html

Even if fast food isn't your thing, it has some ideas.

I make my own: prepackaged oatmeal. egg/muffin sandwich, and mini quiches (in a muffin tin) The last two freeze well, and get reheated in the microwave.

You can always do PB and banana on toast, really quick,

Or b-fast wraps made night before with egg whites.

Also, I know a lot of people like something called overnight oats.

I'm a college student and have the same problem, but what's faster than cereal and milk haha. I go with Kashi Go Lean Original and skim milk. Side of english muffin, PB2, almonds, and prunes. Sooo good.
If you need to carry the cereal with you, you could always pack the cereal with some yogurt.

Also, Van's makes a lite waffle and you could pop that in your toaster add some pre-made egg whites or peanut butter and make a kind of sandwich.

If you have to resort to it there is always the PowerBar/Clif Bar/ Larabar idea as well

I like overnight oats, quiches that I make on the weekend then slice and freeze, breakfast burritos (make a big batch and freeze), toast with peanutbutter and banana and milk, cup of yogurt and homemade granola, baked french toast cut into servings and frozen..

These breakfast things....don't know what to call them...
Take a muffin tin and spray with nonstick spray
Take a tortilla and cut into 8 wedges
Two wedges per muffin cup wrapped around the sides
Sprinkle some cooked breakfast sausage or bacin in bottom
Crack in one egg or two egg whites into each cup
Sprinkle on some cheese (sauteed veggies also very tasty in this)
Bake at 350 until egg is done.
We freeze and reheat, then serve with green salsa and a dollop of sour cream

I am sure they are not the best sodium wise, but when in a hurry, I grab a Smart Ones English Muffin Sandwich. It's only 210 calories, so I add a banana or a yogurt to breakfast, but in a pinch it satisfies.

I like Jimmy Dean precooked turkey sausages on a Multigrain english mufffin. It;s only about 200 calories and the sausages are done in 45 seconds. I eat them while driving.

I used to make "clean egg muffins".

I'd make a big batch on Sunday, eat them throughout the week. Eggs, as many veggies as possible (mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, basil, whatever) a bit of milk and pour into lined muffin trays. Bake 20ish minutes till set, but still jiggly. I would always microwave mine later so I'd undercook them a smidge so they're not dry when reheated.

I'd eat 3-4 sometimes for breakfast. Very easy to eat with the liners on them, easy to pack.

I do a nutri bullet with spinach, whey protein, blueberries, flax, greek yogurt and almond milk.
Super filling!

When I don't have time to cook something, I enjoy a protein shake (whey powder, fruit, milk), or a bar - Think Thin are very filling (high in protein and gluten/sugar free) and South Beach Protein Fit peanut butter cereal bars are decent (9 grams of protein) - add some fruit or a greek yogurt if you like for more calories.

If you can reheat - definitely try some egg white muffins - basically egg whites, meat/veggie/cheese of choice baked in muffin tins. If you slightly undercook them, they reheat great in a microwave. You can also make your own Jimmy Dean type sandwiches.

I cook up some 5 minute grits, stir in some cheese, put an easy over egg on top, then sprinkle with sriracha!

TrailRunner61

I agree with the others,, refrigerator oatmeal is the best and the combinations of flavors is unlimited! Mix it in a jar, put it in the frig and its ready to eat in the morning. I think skinnytaste is where I got my recipes too.

Pre-make something the night before. Or prep a whole bunch for the week when you get time. No need to buy something frozen.

I prefer easy to make breakfasts, because I never have the motivation in the morning.

This morning I had 12 red seedless grapes and an english muffin with 2 tbls of Target's Archers Farm bacon Parmesan spread on it.
214 calories

Sometimes I have activia light vanilla yogurt mixed with 2 tbls chocolate PB2 and mix in 2 tbls Bare Naked fit Granola and a handful of raspberries
223 calories

If I don't even feel like measuring I keep a couple Jimmy Deans Delites breakfast bowls in the freezer.
240 calories

Just a few ideas.

Thomas bagel thins. These are delicious. I like the cinnamon raisin ones and they have limited edition ones out called pumpkin spice :P Plus, they have only 110 calories.

I make a big crockpot of this and put it in the fridge. Take out 1 cup each morning and heat for 1 minute. Yummy hot breakfast and quick.

My only modification to this recipe is that I cook it with the cinnamon to give it an extra yummy flavor :-)

protein soothies are easy to make and you can eat them in the car. They are very delicious with so many combinations of fruits and veggies you can use such as beets, strawberries, banana's, spinach. the combination is endless.

I have a piece of toast with cream cheese on it. 168 calories there. I also microwave water for 1.5 minutes and drop a tea bag of green tea in, let it steep 2 minutes, and drink, maybe adding Truvia or maybe not. This keeps me full until lunch. Add a fruit or a piece of Canadian bacon if you want to feel a bit fuller (my breakfasts are always vegetarian).
