What do you eat for breakfast?

I don't have a car and there's no public transportation up here at school, so I buy groceries in bulk.

What do you usually eat for breakfast that doesn't need to be cooked past a microwave? Long keeping times are a plus too.
I tried doing Quaker Oatmeal for a while, but I cannot STAND the taste. I like it for the first two bites and then its disgusting..
I've got a fridge too. Milk is in infinite supply, so suggest your favorite cereals!

    I live in Australia, but when I was in America I loved the Kashi range!! The high protein one was awesome.
    Also Fibre one cereal is great with some low carb yogurt
    Maybe some of those vita tops breakfast muffin top things? They were like 100 calories and high fiber, high protein
    Also quest bars! 15 seconds in the microwave and they're awesomee

    I also live in Australia and my favourite simple breakfast is porridge. Cook 1/3 of a cup with water in the microwave, simply add some frozen raspberries and a dash of maple syrup, delicious!!!

    I usually have canned Tuna and maybe add 1-2 boiled eggs for my first meal of the day. For cereal I either have All Bran or Post Shredded Wheat to eat.

    I eat a microwaved potato, sliced and then dry fried with 2 eggs and tomatoes. But if you only have a microwave, you could still do microwave potato, and eggs - you could microwave them too - and eggs and potatoes keep without refrigeration.

    Canned chopped tomatoes on toast?

    Cheese on toast?

    Banana & maple syrup on toast?

    Apples are meant to be as good as a caffeine hit in the morning to get you going.

    I have heard you can put peanut butter in oatmeal - maybe that might make it more to your taste? Or cinnamon? Try real rolled oats rather than the pre-prepared packets, you might find a difference?

    Cereals - there are so many, but read the nutrition panels & portion sizes - don't believe the hype on the front!! Many are full of sugar. I eat Vogels Soy & linseed cereal, or All bran. Sometimes I throw in a handful of cornflakes or Uncle Toby's Omega 3 just to give some extra "crunch". You can get "Up and go" which is like a liquified cereal - I've not tried it but it comes in long life packs, might be useful?

    Good luck! :smile:

    I love my coffee with multiseed wholegrain bread or sourdough bread toasts (no butter for me), for when I don't want to bother. If I want to up the protein I usually have a pot of quark, low in cals, carbs and high in protein. If you don't like oats porride, you could try ground rice with milk (or rice pudding), cornflour porridge, weetabix. I hate cooking in the morning, I like something quick, but I cook this type of porridge for the children with a little bit of unrefined sugar and cinammon. Another option would be a nice greek yoghurt or quark with different fruit slices in a bowl, berries, banana....etc. These are some of the options at home.

    I like to cook some oats in the microwave (I only use water but you can use milk if you want) and then I mash up 1/2 a banana and sprinkle with cinnamon, shredded coconut and chia seeds. It's delicious :love:

    2 egg whites and 1 whole egg scrambled in the microwave - takes about 45 seconds :-)

    1) 1/2 cup granola or muesli mixed with 1 cup milk or 4 oz yogurt
    2) fruits
    3) couple thin slices of pancetta and 2 eggs
    4) IHOP all you can eat pancakes and then I spend the next week running non stop


    I use hemp milk because the unpened boxes can store in my pantry for a long time. Also granola and muesli can keep really well in sealed containers.

    Either eggs (poached, scrambled or boiled), sometimes with a small slice of toast, or porridge. I usually add a little syrup to the porridge to sweeten it up and I use the Quaker microwave packet mix with skimmed milk. It's lovely!

    I have scrambled eggs with one egg, and one egg white, in that I mix ground linseed and parsley, and sometimes spinach, and I have that on top of tomatoes just about every morning. :)

    i dont know if you can get them in america, as i live in australia, but some great tasting and incredibly healthy cereals are:

    Waffle Bitez
    Goodness Traditional barley and oats
    Orgran Berry Rice-o's
    Cocoa Puffs (like a healthy version of coco pops)
    Rice Puffs (healthy rice bubbles)
    Tropico's (healthy fruit loops) - all those three are by Freedom Foods
    Weet-bix

    even just some multigrain toast is always a win
    anything that is fresh and not processed
    Im vegan so i get soy milk, generally the long life stuff, which is great because you can store heaps! Tastes great too!

    Hope that gave you a few ideas

    Water and protein powder. I'd skip it all together if I didn't work out at 4:45 am.

    Well I favour a bowl of porridge/muesli and a bowlof scrambled eggs. The two fill me up and keep me full until lunch. I usually have porridge as its cheaper and lower calorie.

    I had pancakes, and I added some ground flax and hemp hearts for added protein and fiber.

    I've done lowfat yogurt, oatmeal and am currently using egg beaters. With the eggbeaters you can do an omlet in the micro or I do the equivalent of 2 eggs in a fry pan with non-stick spray and put it on a toasted english muffin. The last has been my staple for the last couple of weeks. I've also done a toasted english muffin with peanut butter.I also use aunt millies wholegrain bread ( 35 cal/ slice) and can do jam and/ or pb on that. Just a few suggestions. I've gotten a lot of ideas from my "friends" also. I have more trouble with lunch, myself....

    2 eggs scrambled with mushrooms, onions, green pepper, and a slice of low fat swiss cheese. Rye bread with jam on the side.

    Or oatmeal with PB2 and honey. Or yogurt with pb2 and banana.

    I dont like cereals much, too sugary.
