As much as I loved Belvita breakfast bicuits, I can tell they're not that good with all their sugar... and they're hardly natural.

So I need a breakfast that is PORTABLE [i.e. I just stick it in a bag a go], takes no preparation at my destination, is natural, and contains protein.

I was thijnking of just eating two or three hard boiled eggs for breakfast, made a few days before. Does anyone else have any ideas?

    Maybe a container with some apple slices and a natural peanut butter to dip with? The hard boiled eggs is a good idea though.

    Jif sells little to-go packets of peanut butter now too! I have a few in my desk at work if I want to dip my apples :)

    bolthouse farms has some all natural smoothies that I'm digging right now - the peach parfait one is to die for. they're a little calorie pricey for me - about 380 for a 16oz bottle, but they do keep me as full as my usual egg/english muffin & greek yogurt breakfast that I've had for a while.

    Half a grapefruit although if by portable you mean eat on the go then not so much!

    I do the egg thing most mornings but it can get boring.

    I just started making overnight oats with fruit. I put a 1/2 of whole grain oats, 1 tbsp of chia, and 3/4 cup of coconut milk in a mason jar before I go to bed, stick it in the fridge, and just add fruits/nuts in the morning.

    Hard boiled eggs require preparation.

    If you want no prep, and protein? You can buy cottage cheese singles. Or premade protein shakes.

    Or anything from a restaurant.

    Or fruit.

    If you don't mind a little sugar, I prep up 1 cup containers every weekend that hold about 3/4 cup of Fage plain greek yogurt (0% or 2% depending on what's available that week) with a dollop of all natural strawberry preserves. YUM! This is something I usually have for a snack and wouldn't be enough for breakfast but might be good paired with your eggs or something else.

    I also cook up a batch of steel cut oats every weekend. Make 6 or 7 servings and add a small (6oz I think) bag of craisins. Pour that into a square Rubbermaid container then cut into 6 segments when it's cool. Scoop them into those lovely 1 cup containers and I'm good to go for the week. For protein: Quaker brand has 5g per serving. Bob's Red Mill brand has 7g per serving. Again, might not be enough for a full breakfast but would be good paired with an egg or two.

    Do you use steel cut oats or regular?

    You can buy these things called eggies (I think). You can make hard boiled eggs with no shell. I add anything into them and then boil it. Once cooled off you can store in the fridge for 3 days. No mess of peeling just grab and go.

    This is really good. It takes preparation ahead of time, but if you wrap each of them in aluminum foil or plastic wrap (or a baggie if you're lazy like myself), it's a grab and go kind of thing!

    Summer Porridge (Overnight Oats):

    ½ cup steel cut oats, ½ cup of almond milk, 2 tablespoons greek yogurt, a tablespoon of honey, and a ¼ cup of your favorite frozen fruit. I love blueberries. Mix it up in a mason jar and put in the fridge for at least overnight (I usually make a weeks worth at once and it only gets better as it ages) and eat right out of the jar in the morning. No heat required.

    So yummy and super filling at about 300 cals.
