Hey guys...so I have to be at work by 6am and my first break is at 8am. I am so mega bored with my current food. Thing is I only have 15 minutes, so it has to be something quick. Right now I am mostly eating a lean pocket, which is fine, but like I said Im getting bored. Sometimes Ive been eating instant oatmeal, but that is not something I am in the mood for everyday. Anyone else have any quick breakfast ideas that have worked for you??

    smart ones breakfast sandwishes are really good and give a energy burst. smoothies are good too and they can be quick and you can take them with you.

    Yogurt. Granola bars. Baggies of trail mix you make yourself. A piece of fruit. Stick of string cheese. Raisins.

    Jimmy Dean's D-lights has a turkey sausage, egg, and cheese on English muffin sandwich that I LOVE and eat almost everyday. It keeps me full till lunch with only 250 calories!

    Eggs (regular or liquid whites) are quick and easy in the microwave top with salsa or veggies you cooked before or you can cook them ahead and reheat them. (I typically make enough eggs to last my family 3 days for on the go) sometimes I make mini quiche no crust using a cupcake pan
    Cereal
    Whole wheat bread or english muffin or bread pocket (flax seed oil ones are only 65 calories)
    Waffles (whole wheat) top with banna and nuts or what you lik
    Yougurt (top with nuts, or cereal, or granola, or fruit)
    Oatmeal

    This is my go-to snack (when I need more than a yogurt or some fruit):

    My favorite sandwich:
    *Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins (I toast mine)
    *2 Tbsp Garden Vegetable (1/3 reduced fat) Cream Cheese
    *1 Tbsp Sunflower Seeds
    *1/2 C Sprouts
    *1/2 C Spinach

    Easily made before work & packed with you.

    ETA: this tastes kind of breakfast-y with the toast & cream cheese. Then again, I'm a fan of delicious sandwiches at any hour. :)

    Raw, unsalted Almonds and some fruit. Yummy and satisfying and oh so good for you! You're getting protein and healthy fat with the almonds and healthy carbs with the fruit. Grapes, melon, citrus or apples.

    This is a great list of healthy breakfast ideas! Try to limit frozen foods and processed foods. Keep it fresh and organic as much as possible.

    I recently found some new flavors of Luna Bars, high in fiber and made just for women. They have chocolate raspberry and peanut butter chocolate. Delicious and 110 cals, and have added folic acid for women's health.

    I take boiled eggs, overnight oats with or without fruit added, fresh fruit, a homemade muffin (sugar-free, gluten-free), and keep rice cakes at work. I also do major food prep and always have whole meals ready that I can just grab and take with.

    My snacks are bananas, dried apricots, almonds, and Greek yogurt. The apricots and almonds I keep in my desk and I have them whenever I need them.
