Quick breakfast ideas

Breakfast is often the most challenging meal of the day for me because you can't make a lot of healthy egg-based recipes in advance. I try to avoid carb/sugar-heavy cereals, and I'm generally not satisfied with just a piece of fruit. So my question for you, my fellow cash-strapped graduate students, is how do you make breakfast work while staying healthy and still getting to those pesky morning stats classes on time?

My favorite breakfast is a smoothie! If you have time in the morning you can make one with fruit and add in some protein powder or whatever you want, otherwise... I like to keep a few of those Naked green machine smoothies in my fridge. If I'm running late I grab one of those.

Don't know if this helps but I like to just boil or poach a couple of eggs on a sunday for each day of the week- They keep really well in the fridge over that week so don't worry about them spoiling. That and a banana( or whatever fruit you prefer )does the trick for me0

I cook oats at the beginning of the week and put them in the refrigerator to heat up each morning. One day I might throw in a few frozen blueberries (I buy these by the bulk) and cinnamon or a scoop of chocolate whey and peanut butter. Other days I make smoothies with stuff I have in my kitchen. This generally includes spinach, fruits, whey, peanut butter etc. I experiment a lot. If I'm extremely strapped for time and don't have oats prepared I will eat a piece of toast with peanut butter.0

I definitely have boiled eggs on hand all the time. I use them on salads for a little protein boost sometimes.0

The night before I take 1/3 cup chia seeds, add 1/2 cup almond milk, some strawberry or other chopped up fruit pieces and I'm ready to go in the morning!
It's like a delicious pudding cup when the seeds absorb the milk 0 -
I invested in a nutribullet (about $100) and I make a smoothie every morning. half green (kale or spinach) and half fruit (normally anything from pineapples, grapes, blueberries, strawberries, kiwi) and half water. and a teaspoon honey when i hate the flavor.0
