Easy breakfast ideas

Don't know how you feel about hard boiled eggs, but I keep them in the fridge all the time and they are my breakfast staple during the week. I peel 2 at night before bed, put them in a ziploc container and then grab them on my way out the door in the morning. Also, granola bars or Fiber one bars aren't bad. Yogurt and bananas are also a pretty regular thing for me in the mornings.

To elaborate on the egg idea, I make crustless quiches and store them in the frig for grab and go in the morning. Take a muffin tin, break an egg into each cup, add cheese, minced meats, chopped veggies, whatever you like then bake them for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. I put 2 in each plastic container for easy breakfast. I like them cold but you could heat them up.

I also make crustless quiche that I eat almost every day--haven't gotten tired of it in over 2 years. ( I REALLY hate cooking in the morning.) Use any quiche recipe and any added ingredients (meat, veggies, cheese) that you like. It keeps for a week, just heat and eat, or have it cold, if you like.

I second the breakfast burrito idea, or maybe some oatmeal? I like to do half a cup of oatmeal, half a cup of yogurt, and half a cup of water in the fridge at night and then put it in the microwave for like 45 seconds in the morning.

A few of my favourites:

- Greek yoghurt, sliced banana and honey. Make it up the night before, keep in the fridge and it's all ready there waiting for you in the morning.

- Cold porridge/oatmeal - 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/3 cup greek yoghurt, 1/3 cup milk, tablepoon chia seeds - mix together, put in the fridge overnight and again, ready first thing in the morning. You could add fruit, honey etc to the mix as well, either the night before or just before you eat. I tend to put frozen berries in the mix the night before and they're all defrosted by the morning, with the juices running into the porridge. Yummy. Can eat it cold, or warm it up - I prefer cold tbh. IF you really don't like cold porridge and really don't have time/can't be bothered to heat anything up, I believe you can make oatmeal in a slow cooker if you have one. Pop everything in the night before, set the slowcooker on and when you wake up - bam, instant warm breakfast. There's a recipe for apple + cinnamon oatmeal here, and I'm sure you could alter the recipe to include any fruits/flavourings you'd like: http://www.theyummylife.com/Slow_Cooker_Apple_Cinnamon_Oatmeal

- As others have said, hard-boiled eggs. 2 eggs and a banana is around 300cals and a nice amount of protein.

- Banana + peanut butter sandwich. I tend to make it very quickly - 1 slice of bread, a small dollop of PB (don't even spread it, just dollop it on), take the banana out of the peel and fold the bread around the banana. No knives needed, no spreading or slicing, no faffing at all.


Additionally, there's no rule that says you have to eat breakfast foods for breakfast. If you have leftovers from last night's dinner you could always reheat those, or eat them cold.
