    If I'm in a rush I'll tend to have a piece of fruit/a yoghurt/a boiled egg (you could boil a load the night before and then store them in the fridge for the next couple of breakfasts?)/a smoothie or a combination of the above. You could also maybe try cereal bars, they'd be a lot easier than trying to eat cereal on the go! Although a lot of them are very sugary and more unhealthy than cereal itself, so check out the label and maybe do some Googling before you get any. Hope I helped, I know how hectic things can get in the mornings! :smile:

    Oatmeal with almond butter and blueberries is my favorite, and I can finsh my hair and makeup in the time it takes to cook (6 minutes). I've got it down to a science because it's my favorite breakfast. You can also make oatmeal beforehand and just reheat - the resipes I've seen suggest using steel cut oats if you want to try it, I have no idea if it works for regular quick oats. Though, I have brought my oatmeal with me to work when I didn't have time to eat it and just reheat when I get there. Tonight I'll have to try making it the night before and see how that works out.

    I make my own muesli and eat it with soy milk - you could try something like that as an easy swap for cereal. Just make sure the muesli is natural (not toasted with lots of oil and sugar) and any oats are whole oats, not 'quick' sachets.

    My breakfast when very busy is almost always 2 scoops of Muscle Milk protein powder. Not ideal, but it has worked so well for me.

    I am not a big eater first thing in the morning... so I make a "diet mocha". I use 1 can of creamy chocolate slimfast, brewed espresso (I have an espresson machine, but you could just use brewed coffee) and 2 TBS sugar free french vanilla creamer. Mix it all together and add iced... 1 low cal, high protien mocha :)

    Eating & driving - this is me

    I rotate 3 breakfasts.
    1. Dry cereal & Greek yogurt. Kashi has some amazing cereals - high protien & high fiber. I like Harvest Cinnamon (like cinnamon shredded wheat) , and Warm Cinnamon (like cinnamon cheerios). Greek yogurt is fairly thick so it sticks to your spoon.
    2. The night before (I am totally not a morning person) - boil water and pour over instant steel cut or rolled oats. Snap a lid on it. By morning it's almost complelely cooked - add dried cherries, or whatever & cook 1 - 2 minutes. Sweeten & done!
    3. The night before: I mix Kashi Go Lean cereal (3/4 C) with almonds (1 TBL) & put it in a ziplock bowl. I mix Dannon light yogurt with berries (1/4 C) & refrigerate covered. In the morning - I mix together. This is incredibly filling. It's so thick - it sticks to the spoon.

    I make oatmeal enough for a week and reheat it at work, it turns out just fine for me. :) That's one of my "go to" breakfasts!

    Here are a few other things I like for breakfast:

    Bagel Thin w/ laughing cow cheese & avocado
    Bagel Thin w/ freshly ground almond butter
    Bagel Thin w/ egg beaters (cooked, of course) & laughing cow cheese
    Banana-Strawberry Smoothie
    Banana-Almond Butter Smoothie
    Banana & almond butter Oatmeal
    Strawberry-Kiwi Smoothie

    Scramble eggs in the microwave (takes a bit of practice to work out timing) and serve on wholegrain/low-GI toast. You can also add mixed herbs, lean meat, reduced-fat grated cheese. Only takes a few minutes to prepare and, as you like eating in the morning, you might find it easier to eat about 500 calories then.

    My breakfast usually consists of 2 pieces of whole grain wheat toast with peanut butter & pumpkin butter. A banana would also go great with that but my husband & kids get to them before I do.

    These as are all great ideas!

    I mix 3/4 cup of dry oats with 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites, 1/2 scoop of protein powder (optional) and cook it as a big pancake in a tiny amount of olive oil. Super quick, easy, and keeps me full for ages. Good carbs, protein and a little fat... bobs your uncle.

    I love homemade baked beans. Each recipe makes 4 portions, so you make it once, then microwave. Nutrients are listed under the recipe; http://vegan20eleven.blogspot.com/2011/04/homemade-baked-beans.html?zx=3796a1461929da88
