I'm going back to school in a couple of weeks and I'm terrified because my school only allows breakfast from 5:30am to 8:30am and I don't have to show up to class until around 11am

sooooo what are some quick healthy breakfast things I can make in my dorm room??

I usually drink a 24oz vegetable juice I make but I don't wanna get tired of that really quick.

    Those Quaker Breakfast Bars, a fairly new product, look like a killer app for your specifications. You don't need cooking equipment or refrigeration.

    Yogurt and banana. If you have a microwave make porridge- dead easy. soak over night with some sultanas and cook with half a banana. serve with milk. My favorite breakfast

    Nuts for fats and proteins, add a yougurt for carbs and protein, and finish with a fruit. That is a quick whole breakfast. No cooking required.

    Scrambled eggs in the microwave? I do scrambled egg whites in the microwave when I want something quick, throw a bit of peppers and onions and a bit of shredded cheese. The other day I made it into a wrap. Messy but with a bit of lite mayo, soooo yummy! I'm assuming you have a small fridge/microwave.

    I like a Greek yogurt mixed with 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder and topped with Fiber 1 cereal. You get 20+ grams of protein (depending on your brands) and 18 grams of fiber. And it will keep you full for hours.

    I like to make a toasted English muffin, light mayo, ham and cheese. Can even prepare it the night before ready to eat in the morning or on the go.

    Scrambled eggs in the fry pan, whisk them up and throw them in on a medium-high heat, keep turning them with a wooden spoon/other utensil, it takes the same sort of time as the microwave but serve them up before drying them out to get the best results (slightly wet).

    Result? Fast and tasty breakfast full of protein and good fats (yolks)

    EDIT
    I've just read the original post again, if a fry pan isn't available then by all means use a microwave, but take them out sooner than normal to stop them from drying out (harder to gauge but still doable).

    A smoothie with spinach, protein powder and coconut or almond milk and chia seeds. This good balance should keep you full to a late lunch.

    Avocado toast topped with whatever you want (hardboiled egg slices, salt and pep are my go-tos. Always pick a whole grain bread - I like Ezekiel.).
    Fruit and plain skyr or greek yogurt
    Smoothies with protein powder

    The key, at least for me, is to have a nice mix of protein and fat in the morning.

    Any nut butter that you can dip some fruit into, like sliced apple, works great - don't have to keep it refrigerated, and gives you some carbs and protein, you know? Can do the same with yogurt, if you have a mini-fridge.

    Cream cheese over those brown rice cakes are great, too - one of my old dorm foods. The brown rice cakes are key, though - crunchier, and higher calories than some of the regular rice cakes.

    Homemade trail mixes - nuts, dried fruit, flakes of coconut, raw amaranth - all sorts of things you can get and just mix up and keep in the dorm room. There are lots of recipes online for making your own bars, too, usually using raisins or dates that are chopped up and added as a binder (but often need a food processor for that, which is why I tend to go with the trail mixes).

    Hummus with sliced up veggies to dip into it works well too, maybe a little pita bread or falafel to go with it, although those you'd have to buy rather than make, in the dorm room. But again, gets you some nutrition and protein to start the morning with.

    Lately I've been having a mini bagel (100cals) with 1tbs light cream cheese (30cals), and a fruit or string cheese or granola bar. Sometimes I switch out the bagel for a yogurt. But Im never all that hungry at breakfast and have a larger lunch.

    Also "mcmuffins" are really easy to make, and if you don't have a stove, you can get a sandwich maker. My best friend has one and she's absolutely in love with it.

    Recently I've been having cottage cheese topped with blueberries and it definitely keeps me satisfied until lunchtime.
