I start school again on Monday. I wake up at 7 to get my son to school by 7:50 and have to have myself at school at 9. I am usually not hungry until 10 or so, but will be in class. What is something simple, like a smoothie or something, that I can have before I leave with my son, but will keep me feeling full until I get out of classes at noon??

I guess there are a few options here.

First, you could eat before you leave. Something simple like eggs and toast, but if you're not hungry, don't force yourself.
Which you could also make into a wrap and bring it with you in a ziplock.

Second, you could do the smoothie thing. Take it on the go with you and drink it whenever. Though, I personally don't care for these as I don't find them satisfying at all. But if you do, that's a good option for you.

Third, you could suck it up and just wait until after class. I don't like being hungry, but some people like doing this kind of thing as it helps them stick to their plan.

Last, you could take a snack with you. I always eat peanut butter crackers for breakfast when I work. Those, or something like a trail mix bar.

Overnight oatmeal.
The night before, combine:
1/3 cup large flake oats + 1/2 tsp apple pie spice or cinnamon + 1 Tbsp chia seeds + sweetener of your choice to taste.
Add ~2/3 cup of milk (regular, almond, soy, whatever), stir, and leave in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, add 1 Tbsp peanut or almond butter & some fresh berries if you want. I microwave mine for 30 seconds before eating, but lots of people eat it cold. The chia really thickens it up and keeps me amazingly full all morning. It is a little bit of planning the night before, but is so easy when i'm a zombie in the mornings and starts the day off right.

Oatmeal-based breakfast "cookies" are also good.
In a bowl mix: 1/3 cup oats + 1/2 mashed banana + 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder + 1 Tbsp nut butter + 1/2 cup milk of your choice + sweetener of choice to taste. Plop mixture onto saucer and press into a cookie shape. Refrigerate overnight.
In the morning the mixture will firm up and the oats will soften as the absorb the moisture. It's not solid enough to eat like a real cookie (i eat it off the plate with a spoon), but it's still good.
