breakfast.

I like smoothies, quest bars, overnight oatmeal in a jar (Tervis Tumbler), egg cups made in muffin tins and frozen, peanut butter toast

Smoothies are awesome, especially if you have a big cup with a lid so you can take them with you if you need to run out the door.

What about oatmeal? High on fiber and it only takes about 2 minutes to make. I like to add a 1/4 tsp of honey, cinnamon and if I have time I'll cut up strawberries.

Nothing wrong with a piece of fruit and a cheese stick, eaten during your commute. You can also make breakfast sandwiches pretty quickly -- scramble or hard-fry an egg, slap it on an English muffin with a slice of deli ham. There aren't really many options that take literally no time, but stuff you can either grab and eat all at once or put together in less than five minutes isn't particularly challenging to find at breakfast.

I often don't have the time especially if my kids have been hanging off me & I have to go to work. I just grab a breakfast bar, something that is REALLY quick that I can shove down.

I've been on a protein-pancake kick ever since I put Cinnabun Protein powder in low-sugar pancake mix. Plus I found I could eat just about as much whipped butter on it as I wanted since the rest of the day my fat grams were relatively low. And I've been known to roll them up and eat them like "flautas"...yum good....in traffic.

However, I see you don't have a lot of time..,...what about making a PBJ Sammy & eating it in the car?

I've also made microw old-fashioned cinnamon oatmeal in a 4-cup glass container (microw on 40% power for 4 min, doesn't boil over ) while I was getting ready....then ate it in the car as it doesn't drip off the spoon and the container is easy to set in the lap. Also, glass is better than plastic since it holds the heat therefore oatmeal stays warm. AS a matter of fact, I did this for several cold winters, never once had a mishap. (You could always keep a medium-sized towel in the car to cover your lap while noshing:bigsmile: )

Alot of quick breakfast items are high in sugar and carbs with little protein or fat, which in my experience always makes me hungrier. Look for anything that is high protein and has good fats, it doesn't even have to be typical breakfast food. Sometimes I will have a tin of tuna. Greek yoghurt and a couple of boiled eggs which you could make on the weekend and have ready just to grab are pretty handy

At the weekend stew some apples with a hand full of raisons and some cinnamon and have that cold with some fat free Greek yogurt. Yummy. Also I really like to scramble an egg with some spring onions (takes 2 minutes) and have it in a soft tortilla with some salsa.... Oh yeah!

I eat the same thing pretty much every morning. I have a turkey bacon sandwich and it's delicious. It only takes about 5 minutes to make too (and that includes clean up!). While toasting a whole grain English muffin I saute two slices of turkey bacon. I put that on the English muffin with some ketchup and eat. Yummy. Sometimes I'll fry an egg alongside the bacon.

Some days I'll have scrambled eggs on toast.

Or fruit and yogurt.

All of these things are really fast, it's just a matter of keeping the ingredients in the house.

Toast with a slice of cheese and turkey breast, chicken or ham takes me about 1 minute to make, and another minute to eat. Good rounded mix of protein, carbs and fat to kick start your day. Is 2 minutes too long for you?
