Breakfast - Shake and prunes?

My understanding is that you need a good amount of carbs in the morning. With that, I only have about 10-15 min after I wake up to get around and leave the house. I've been doing good about at least grabbing a shake (usually the Atkins protein) right when I wake up, work out about 45 min later and then eat a bigger breakfast. Would a few prunes for the fiber and carbs be bad to add to that? I'm not worried at all about any sudden flushing effects b/c my body responds well to prunes and I do like them. And the prunes would be good since I can just pop 5 or 6 in and be done after my shake. Or would a banana be the better choice?
Thoughts?

    I'd be a little concerned about the sugar, but no harm in giving it a try and seeing how it goes.

    I think (not certain though) that I don't have a whole lot of sugar throughout the day, so I don't think that would be too hard on me.
    Thanks!

    Um. Eat whatever you want. Fit it into your day. Done and done. No magical food combos or meal timing is necessary. Keep it simple.
