    Home made fruit smoothies are a good option. Frozen fruit, OJ, little bit of milk and ice and blend. Can take it with you and a plus is the kids like them too.

    hi! i'm always running out the door late and never have time for breakfast at home-- some would say i should set my alarm a few mins earlier! I've tried a few different cereal based breakfast bars and they end up making me even more hungry. What i've started eating is Clif bars which have a lot of protein and yummy flavors (my favorite is chocolate chip peanut crunch). they have about 250 calories each and i usually grab a banana too. I'd love to hear other people's ideas too :)

    Lean cuisine lean pockets? They are 290cal and micro in 3 1/2 min. :) Easy to eat on the go and in the car.

    I like Vitatops with a cup of skim milk. I may have a 200 calorie muffin or 2 vita tops and their vita brownies are good also.

    Yourgart and a couple of mozzeralla sticks

    Bannana or any fruit with a piece of protien.

    One of my farvorites is turkey bacon from trader joe's with toast. You put the turkey bacon in the oven for 15 min on 400 and pop bread in the toaster and pick it up on the way out the door. I spray some butter spray on the toast.

    Breakfast Cups, makes 6: EDITED TO ADD: Make these in advance, sorry!

    12 turkey bacon strips: cook them in a saucepan until nearly done but still pliable. Take two strips, and circle them around the edges of a Pam-sprayed muffin tin, making 6.

    Mix 1.5 Cups egg substitute in a bowl with some shredded low-fat cheese, diced fresh parsley, and whatever seasonings you may want (garlic salt?). I add crumbled fat-free feta cheese.

    Pour about 1/4-C of the mix into each bacon-lined cup. Bake for about 40 min at 350. BE ADVISED that the egg mix EXPANDS!!!! Place some tin foil under your muffin tin.

    They freeze well too. Thaw night before and microwave for a minute, and you're set to go. MFP calculated them at about 120 cal each.

    whole wheat english muffin with a half wedge of laughing cow light cheese spread on each half. Also fruit smoothies -- 1 container of yogurt, a splash of milk and some fresh or frozen fruit in a blender. Quick and easy for on the go.

    I agree with you on the cereal bars not lasting long. Like I love fiber one bars but would not suggest it for a good breakfast because not enough protien.

    I forgot another good choice with a cup of skim milk is Chocolite Protien Bars. They are low in calories and satisfying too. If one is not enough for you eat 2 and you are still better off than many of the protien bars out there today.

    That sounds really good

    I'm a big fan of an open face wheat / fried egg sandwich or a WW wrap with egg and some cheese.

    Eggs literally take 3 minutes to make and you can toast a tortilla or toast at the same time pop on the egg and go!

    PB on toast is a big one for me too. Maybe with an apple.

    Toaster waffle of choice (i like blueberry) + 1 tbsp peanutbutter+ 5-6 berries of choice (I like raspberries) or .25 of a banana = heaven. I just fold it and run.

    Oven Roasted Turkey breast (lunch meat) 1 tablespoon Hummus and String cheese If im really in a rush I will eat this!
    *** Put Hummus on Turkey break and then stick the string cheese in the middle and roll it up! You have Protein, Fiber and Dairy all in one!

    If I absolutely have to eat on the run, I'll make a protein shake, with soy milk, and a banana blended together. Loaded with good protein and complex carbs.

    I LOVE fiber one bars. Not as much protien as I would like, but I can grab one as I run by and out the door and eat it on the way to work. The fiber is very filling, and usually holds me quite a while!

    When in doubt, wrap and blend. When it comes to wraps/rolls and smoothies, you don't have to think about it. Just throw some [healthy] stuff on the flat bread or tortilla and chuck some [healthy] stuff in the blender and you're good to go.

    I always eat the same thing which only takes bout 5 minutes at max to prepare: sara lee whole wheat english muffin toasted with naturally more peanut butter and 8oz of almond milk. Tastes good and keeps me filled up for awhile! And if by chance you would still be hungry grab a banana.

    Or you could always try juicing. Buy a good juicer and throw together some of your favorite fruits and veggies. Taste good, detoxs your body, gives you energy and it's really healthy!

    Shakes dont' fill me up. I have a grab and go breakast every day and I much prefer some sort of nutrigrain bar, cereal bar, or even a protein bar with a cup of coffee. It gives me some nutrition and fiber without a ton of calories and usually tides me over until lunch.
