I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions/ideas for a quick easy to prepare breakfast for on the go. I don't usually have enough time in the morning to sit now and eat, so I grab something to eat on the way. Of course, you know how easy it can be to grab something unhealthy!

    Rice Cake + Peanut Butter / Jelly / Light Whipped Cream. (Use half servings to get calories down if needed)

    Instant Oatmeal in small bowl / cup.

    Thanks DanOhh. Haha.

    Thanks for all the helpful ideas! Gotta say, I found the rice cakes with peanut butter, jelly, and light whipped cream interesting;)

    I, too, have to grab breakfast on the run. I have two "go to" favorites depending on time, where I'm heading and what I am in the mood to eat. 1- Kashi blackberry graham bar with either grapes or strawberries or 2- egg beater sandwich (1/4 cup of egg beaters, 1 wedge of Laughing Cow Light Swiss Cheese on a Deli Flat) with an apple. The first takes NO time to prepare & is the perfect "grab and go" where #2 takes about 3 minutes to toss together.

    Good luck.

    Quick oatmeal is very flexible and quick. You can have something different every day!
    try it with:
    peanut butter
    sliced apple
    banana
    brown sugar
    fresh milk
    cinnamon or other spices

    Other fast things are eggs. It can be fried, scrambled, etc. in a matter of minutes. You can have it on toast and with a bit of fruit for a more balanced breakfast :smile:

    These are my on the go favorites...

    -Oatmeal with raisins and cinnamon ~230 calories. This takes less then 5 minutes to make.

    I usually have a combo of two of these choices or just one and a banana:

    -Kashi honey sunshine (I usually eat this dry on the go) 3/4 cup is 100 calories. High fiber!
    -Special K protein shake- these are really filling. Also, high fiber. 180 calories.
    -Luna bars- really filling! 180 calories. My favorite is Chocolate peppermint flavor. This is also high in fiber.

    You could boil eggs the night before and grab them in the morning. Eat with a banana or something, maybe?

    Greek yogurt (Fage is the best . . . I think) with added fresh fruit or hard boiled eggs (You can make them up ahead of time and just grab them on the go). You could also make up baggies of Kashi cereal and pair that with fruit or yogurt too.

    I usually try to leave myself enough time to make breakfast, but on a day I've over slept & am running late, I always have a toaster waffle (there are some good, healthy, organic options if you look for them) spread with natural peanut or almond butter & a piece of fruit. Its healthy, quick & I can eat it on the go.

    I do egg and cheese on toast. It's portable and pretty quick...like 5-10 minutes. You could do a homemade trail mix with dried fruits, nuts, Cheerios, etc. That can be eaten easily in the car.

    I do high fiber bread choice with peanut butter (or better n' peanut butter)

    or slimfast

    or egg whites with low fat feta (which you CAN do in the microwave) (you can also add a slice of canadian bacon and half a whole wheat english muffin)

    I was eating Kashi cereal every morning with soy milk and a piece of fruit but I read on another message board about egg beaters in the microwave-- tried it this morning and it worked out great! I even found individually packaged servings so you don't overindulge. You put it in the microwave for about 2 minutes and then I sprinkled fat free cheddar cheese. I then toasted 2 pieces of 100% whole wheat flat bread for a total of 183 calories and it kept me full until about 12:30.

    My usual is a toasted eng. muffin w/an egg, sausage patty & 1/2 slice amer. cheese. It only takes 5 mins & racks in at appx. 250 cals.

    What about frozen waffles/pancakes? 2 eggo cakes w/1 tbsp syrup & 1/2 tbsp country crock spread is also under 300 cals.
