I would usually just go for a scoop of whey protein with a spoonful of horlicks (Malt Drink) but am looking to expand my horizons to something more fulfilling!

    Add the protein into a smoothie. You can pre'package the fruits and/or veggies and just add almond milk, yogurt and a scoop of protein.
    Or if your looking for food, I love egg cups! Use a muffin tin to make scrambles eggs or omelet if you want to add veggies. They are easy to make.

    If you want a more filling drink, add fiber using a blender or nutribullet: ground flax seeds, almond meal, romaine lettuce carrots, a cut up apple.

    Too bad that's not possible for everyone, especially if your next meal isn't for another 9-10 hours.
    On my super busy days I usually prep what I'll have the night before and store them in containers in the fridge. That way I can grab them, have a quick breakfast and go. It's usually cottage cheese mixed with greek yogurt, 8 oz juice, a pop tart (or fruit) and a scoop of protein powder.

    I usually just have a yogurt and a piece of fruit for breakfasts during the week.

    I usually keep a bag of jerky and homemade trail mix at my desk cause I often don't have time to prepare something in the AM.

    Any of the ProBar Meal Bars...between 340 and 390 calories...flavors like Superfruit Slam, Banana Nut Bread, Superfood & Greens...all good. With a cuppa kaw-fee...

    Or Bulletproof Coffee: 8-10 oz. good coffee, with 2 Tbsp. unsalted grassfed butter and 2 Tbsp. MCT oil (from coconut oil)...about 540 calories.

    Whatever you had for dinner the night before. Put it in a plastic container and heat it in the microwave when you're ready to eat.

    If I need something really quick and don't want a protein bar, I'll do a peanut butter sandwich. Then I can eat it in the car while I drive to the gym.

    Well seems like I do not have much of a choice other than boiled eggs or smoothies :#

    I think I'll stick to good old Whey

    I do overnight oats / refrigerator oatmeal a couple days worth at a time. Half cup oats and half cup almond milk in a jar. In the morning you can just add what you feel like that day. Have a punnet of raspberries and blueberries handy and you're set for a few days. Maple syrup is a nice sweetener (I use the plain milk) and you only need a little.

    3 fried egg whites, whatever seasoning you like. throw it in a tortilla. Tapatio if you like spice. Wrap it up and take it to go. 150 calories or so.

    One of my favorite things for weekday mornings is egg sandwiches. On Sundays after getting home from grocery shopping I'd meal-prep 10-12 breakfast sandwiches and stash them in the freezer. If you put them in the fridge the night before you need them to thaw, they only spend around a minute in the microwave in the morning and then off you go!

    I like the sound of that, easy to make and fulfilling at the same time!

    My breakfast every workday:
    2 cups of coffee (one at home, one in the car)
    1 shake (in the car - usually water, little coconut milk, meal replacement protein powder and this time of year I add 1/4 cup pumpkin puree and a dash of pumpkin pie spice)
    1 cup coconut milk (split between by coffee and my shake)

    I make baked oatmeal and then divide the portions up for the rest of the week (or freeze them for later for variety). It's easy to reheat and requires no thought as to what I'm going to eat. Budgetbytes.com has a ton of baked oatmeal recipes, though I usually halve the amount of sugar called for.

    Protein shake. Flavor varies as I have several different kinds of protein powder. This week is chocolate and banana. Though I'm also partial to salted caramel with a little cinnamon.
