Right now I work early and do not have time to cook in the morning. I pretty much grab and go. Lately I've just been grabbing a banana and eating it in the car. What other things could I add do this? Maybe a Fiber bar I was thinking? I just dont want to eat too much or too little.

Thanks for the help.

    A good thing to grab in the morning is a hard boiled egg and fruit. I also work early and that seems to tide me over until i can have a snack later in the morning. You can get them already pre packaged and ready to go if you don't make them ahead of time.

    You can also make your own breakfast bars or muffins on the weekend then grab one on your way out the door. If you have time you can make a batch of pancakes and freeze them (just put wax paper or parchment paper between them) and pop them in the toaster to warm them up in the morning. This would work for me in a rush since I'm not a fan of syrups but wouldn't necessarily be a quick food for everyone.

    I make 4" pancakes, freeze them, so I can pop them in the microwave while I'm getting my coffee. I put 1 piece of turkey bacon or sausage, wrap and go.

    I grab a granola bar. There are many good ones from which to choose. You can eat a Special K chocolate and pretzel bar for 90 calories. Nature Valley has a number of great varieties. The hard boiled egg is a great choice too. Get in some protein. Good luck!

    You need a carb, protein, a fruit and a dairy. Grab a nutrition bar with protein, a fruit and yogurt (key lime pie is my favorite from 'Fiber One'). Sometimes I make Fiber One blueberry muffins ahead for the week so I can grab and go in the morning for 5 days, and drink a glass of juice or milk to mix it up.

    If you have a sweet tooth, Quaker makes these "Breakfast Cookies". I myself like the oatmeal raisin. They're not too big, nor too small... High in fiber (which will fill you for awhile) and taste really good when you heat them for 10 seconds in the microwave. This with your yogurt, fruit and hot beverage, is tastey and easy for travel.

    a piece of fruit (your bananas shouldn't be too ripe or they are all sugar!), opt for a citrus fruit or pear for great fiber and filling. Add to that a whole wheat snadwich thin (in bread aisle) toast, put on 1/2 cup cottage cheese, Yummy and very well rounded!

    Whole wheat english muffin with peanut or almond butter (I also like to add a smidge of honey). The combo of unrefined carbs and good protein will keep you satisfied until lunch. And fruit is always a good snack in between meals. =)

    I'm a fan of the Special K Protein Bars. They are perfect for me when I'm not going to have time to squeeze a meal in. One banana and the chocolate peanut butter bar is awesome, and it's 285 calories total. I give myself 300+ calories to work with for breakfast, so this is perfect for me. I don't make a habit of using this bars all the time, but a couple times a week, it's my saving grace... lol!

    Try making a few omelets ahead and store in the fridge........30-45 seconds in the microwave and you are good to go! The texture may change a little, but the taste is about the same.

    Yogurt and light string cheese does me good! Also, throw some egg beaters in a pan while you are getting ready in the morning, pop them in an Extreme Wellness low-carb tortilla, et voila -- breakfast burrito, perfect for eating while driving.
