      My go to breakfast is usually is a bowl of oatmeal & coffee (black) 280 cal total - if not that breakfast, the other is 3 eggs over medium well, 2 slices of bacon, 1 sausage link, 1/2 piece white toast, & coffee 400 cal total

      Any kind of protein is my favorite for the first meal of the day.

      today I had raisin toast with cream cheese. Sometimes I do frozen waffle (toasted) with almond butter, it's portable, also I like vanilla greek yogurt with pineapple. A quiche is a good way to get some eggs and veggies and can warm up a slice each day if you have a fridge and micro.

      Boiled eggs for me! I have a little routine for work days. I get out of bed and stick the kettle on to boil while I have a shower. When I get out of the shower, I put the eggs on to boil for 6 minutes while I dry my hair. I then replace the hot water with cold (off the hob) and leave it while I finish getting ready. I grab the eggs from the cold water as I leave the house. It's a military operation, but I start work early and missing breakfast is no joke! If I have time, I usually peel and eat them at the train station but if not, I'll have them at work. They taste just as good cold as well, so the ultimate portable breakfast imo!

      2 avocados
      6 bananas
      1 cup cracked bulgur (soaked overnight and drained of excess water)
      1 5oz cup of coconut flavored Greek yoghurt
      2 Tbs coconut oil
      3 eggs
      6 scoops unflavoured protein powder

      Throw all of the above into a KitchenAid mixer and blend until smooth and portion out into muffin tins. Bake at 350F for 30min. Makes 24 @ ~125cal/each


      I do 2 of these plus 40g of dried cranberries for breakfast

      I always eat a fried egg and toast (but I am able to do so at home). What I would suggest is making scrambled eggs instead (since you can reheat them pretty well). I would do two eggs with a little milk, cumin, and thyme, and then cook in with onions.

      That or I like quaker oats oatmeal packets. Each packet is 140 calories and you can microwave with water or milk. Perfect desk food! And oatmeal always keeps me pretty full.

      On weekends I make egg, red pepper, onions, spinach and low fat cream cheese muffins and freeze for quick breakfast. I also make a frittata with vegetables, meat and eggs plus cheese. I alternate with oatmeal or muesli and fresh berries with almond milk.

      Do you have a recipe to share? I LOVE savory breakfast muffins.

      As for the OP: I usually just eat a banana with peanut butter. It's my favorite and it's filling. If I don't want something sweet that morning I grab a breakfast sandwich from the freezer. I make my own, calculate them, and then pop them in the freezer.

      Savory oatmeal - cup of kale cup of Spanish 1/2 onion 1/2 cup oatmeal hot sauce to taste so different so good

      Depends on whether or not I can deal with "cold" or "sweet" first thing in the morning, which is not often, so I usually go for hot and savory. But there are lots of possibilities:

      oatmeal with one of the following:
      • 1/2 oz cheddar cheese
      • 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast (and squirt of mustard)
      • 2 Tbsp powdered peanut butter & 1 Tbsp jam
      • 1 Tbsp maple syrup & gingerbread spices

      whole wheat toast with butter

      grilled cheese sandwich (I use a whole wheat paratha and melt mozzarella cheese in it)

      greek yogurt with honey or chocolate syrup or nutella

      fruit

      eggs in any form!

      I've found it helps me to have a lot of protein and fiber at breakfast time, but experiment with what works for you.

      If I am intermittent fasting I drink a cup of fatty coffee. If I am not fasting, then it is either a green smoothie or 2 slices bacon and then two eggs fried in some of the bacon fat.

      Overnight Oatmeal - make it in a to go container and voila, portable breakfast.

      1/2 mashed banana
      1 tsp peanut butter
      1/3 cup rolled oats
      1/3 cup quinoa
      1 tbsp chia seeds
      1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
      1/2 cup pitted cherries (or any other favorite fruit)

      Mix all together the night before and its ready for morning. No cooking required (except the quinoa). I eat mine cold in the morning, its lightly sweetened with no added sugar, and fills me up to lunch.

      Either a protein shake w/a combo of GoWellPath (custom powder) and Plant Fusion - I add blueberries, strong green tea and cashew milk. Or, five scrambled egg whites with veggies and turkey bacon. Sometimes I have the shake and two hard boiled egg whites (I remove the yolk and fill them up with fat free hummus instead) yum!

      Peanut butter on a small whole wheat tortilla, rolled up, possibly with raisins or fruit inside, too. And there are a bunch of recipes out there for "breakfast muffins" that are higher protein, usually involving quinoa, eggs, maybe cheese and some veggie or meat ingredients. They freeze well, and you just microwave & eat.

      Couple examples (these are no meat; I'm a veggie, so that's what I bookmarked, but you can find them with meat):

      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).

      Vanilla protein is the way to go! I haven't tried any other flavor. It doesn't mix very well and is very clumpy if you place the protein in with a hot cup of coffee. I still put the protein in and allow it to cool down and mix. Sometimes I'll add 1 pack of stevia.

      peanut butter toast when I am not hungry...not a breakfast eater
    • Posts: 189 Member
      I love to take hard boiled eggs, fruit ( I love blueberries, strawberries) string cheese, I love Luna Protein bars ( the chocolate peanut butter. Toast with whipped peanut butter. I don't give up my coffee though. It's crucial. I love reading others ideas.

      Bulletproof coffee (coffee made with 1/2 tbls coconut oil and 1 tbls heavy cream blended with an immersion blender [you could probably get a good smooth coffee, @bmireles81 , by blending your whey protein into the hot coffee rather than stirring]) and something low carb. Today it was Pumpkin Pie cream cheese pancakes, but I'm known to have chia pudding or just meat and eggs.

      My favorite breakfast, and one I have almost every day, is two over-easy eggs usually on two slices of toast with some jelly or apple butter. Yummy! :smile:

      Just read that you asked for portable... haha I'm sorry. That's what I get for just reading the title. Mine probably isn't portable. It's delicious though :smile:
    • Posts: 1,520 Member
      Oh, and yes pancakes are portable (if you don't need syrup) the chia pudding is made overnight. :)

      Yes it would probably come out smooth but I'm super lazy. :smiley:

      I'm pretty boring I do hard boiled eggs most days.
    • Posts: 825 Member
      omelette with 2-3 large eggs, cheese and sausage or bacon. black coffee
      protein powder, whole milk, creatine, maybe 2 tbsp of peanut butter
      Right around 900 calories and almost 1/2 my protein goal to start the day with.

      90% of the time my breakfast is oats and eggs. Throw some breakfast meat in there and you're golden. On our days off we occasionally splurge on breakfast burritos. Om nom nom.

      Right now I'm doing 1/2 cup rice, 3 oz diced chicken breast, (made ahead of time and just tossed in a tupperware to go) and a cup of broccoli all mixed up with some Thai garlic chili sauce, soy sauce, whatever. If its going to have to last me more than 8 hrs, I'll throw in a scrambled egg, fried rice style. May seem odd, but I've never been a "sweet" breakfast person. I also don't do wheat (huge eczema trigger for me!), so I am fine with avoiding breads/pastries. For something lighter, I do like greek yogurt and berries.
      Oh, disclaimer, I work 3rd shift. Still trying to figure things out! I eat at 4 am, 9 am and 6 pm, generally. So this is my 9 am meal, right now. I'm aiming for 1300 cals, so I can make this work for 300/400 cals.

      My go to breaky is a smoothie.
      A medium banana, 1 cup of oats, 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, and 30g of reduce vanilla protein powder and enough water to cover everything.
      So yummy and filling and I can take it to work and have it in between all the things I have to do in the morning.
