    I make smoothies every morning lately, but my favorite breakfast is usually cream cheese and jam on an everything bagel :)

    I pre-make a bunch of scrambled eggs/egg whites (1 cup egg whites and one whole egg per serving) on Sunday or Monday. I load it up with all kinds of veggies (mushrooms, onions, tomato, peppers, celery, whatever I feel like) and cook it all. I put that mixture into a small pita bread that i cut in half and gently opened and eat it with salsa on top. I do eat this at work but I could see it being a bit much for many people depending on their job.

    Other days i have a half cup of bran flakes and a half-cup of Oatmeal Crisp Cereal (such a guilty pleasure) with 150ml milk and a hard boiled egg

    Mini omelettes. Cook five of them on Sunday and package them in tupperware. Then take one to work each morning. Omelettes can have a huge variety of ingredients so you can make several different ones.

    2 tbsp PB2, good handful of spinach, banana, coconut water and ice - blend until smooth. This keeps me full until lunch and I like it. Otherwise, the other portable breakfast options are a porridge pot with some seed mix, or greek style yogurt with a chunky breakfast cereal (granola for example). I sometimes have fruit and hard boiled eggs.

    Mostly I eat breakfast at home though :smile:

    I am up at 4 am for work usually so I'll make some protein oatmeal. It makes about 3 servings so I can just portion some up and microwave it while my coffee is brewing. Or I'll eat a Fage greek yogurt cup (they have peach, mango, cherry, strawberry, blueberry, pineapple, etc.) and add some granola. If I have extra time, I'll make a scramble with hashbrowns, egg beaters, turkey sausage, and cheese. Sometimes I'll do half a blueberry whole wheat bagel with cream cheese or peanut butter and have an apple as well. My breakfast is usually about 350-450 calories.

    There are some amazing recipes on Pinterest for egg frittatas that you just bake in a muffin pan and stick them in your fridge for whenever you want to grab one. You can add whatever you want in them too and they're so yummy!

    I used to do smoothies. Then schedules changed and I have less time to get ready in the morning. Now my go-to is oats on the go. Grab a mason jar, throw in rolled oats, dried fruit, nuts, and spices. Pour in boiling water. Put on the lid and wrap it up with a spoon. By the time I get to work, the oatmeal is cooked and cool enough to eat right away.

    I find that sugar is completely optional (the fruit is sweet enough), but the spices are not (allspice and nutmeg make it for me).

    Mexican egg white scramble or omelet (with onion, bell peppers) and salsa or just hot sauce. I also eat Canadian bacon and sometime add it to the eggs when cooking. This is my protein breakfast.

    Quick go to is greek dannon triple zero yogurt, topped with granola (homemade) and unsweetened dried blueberries. This is my carb breakfast.

    And coffee with all breakfast or sometimes just coffee.

    Grape nuts with a teaspoon of sugar and half cup of skim milk. I'll add a piece of fruit of quite hungry. I need the fiber and don't really believe in using powders.

    Porridge made with 100g of almond milk, 35g of oats, 15g of protein powder( I have salted caramel but the other half uses chocolate) and 50g of frozen berries. Pop in the microwave for 1 minute, stir then another minute. Quick and so filling :)

    After reading all these " healthy " options I am a little embarrassed to admit I have a weakness for Raisin Bran Crunch with a little All Bran mixed in... I should probably rethink my breakfast options but it seems to be working for me.

    Oatmeal with brown sugar
    An English muffin with butter and jam (little bit)
    An English muffin with 1 egg, half slice cheese, and 1 slice of ham

    These seem to be the things that fill me up the most for the least calories.

    I've been eating salad for "breakfast" (I bring it with me to work, but usually don't eat until mid-morning). Spring mix with one or two hard boiled eggs and some Newman's Own caesar dressing. Not traditional breakfast, but I've been digging it lately. I've also been getting back into overnight oats. Really easy to make and pretty tasty, but I need to fine tune my portions. It always seems like I end up making way too much after it spends all night expanding.

    A couple of cups of full fat or greek yogurt with raw cocoa stirred. No nonsense, quick to make and to eat!

    PB&J sandwich, low sugar jelly to cut the sugar level. Otherwise hard boiled eggs and maybe a piece of toast, and currently chocolate banana muffins that someone posted in the forums, washed down with skinny cow mocha (cause caffeine, and chocolate). Push comes to worse I'll grab a lean cuisine frozen meal, and I have 'emergency' to-go oatmeal cups in my pantry.

    I've been meaning to try something like this, but with vanilla protein powder. Is the coffee strong enough to cover the whey taste @bmireles81 ? How's the texture? I've also considered adding protein powder to the milk for cereal (I generally go for something like Rice Krispies or cornflakes).
