I do 1/2 cup of 4% cottage cheese and 1/2 tablespoon jam. For such a small amount it is surprisingly filling and can get me through 3-4 hours before I enjoy a banana.1

I like Jimmy Dean DeLights but that has egg in it. I also eat Balanced Breaks from Sorrento. It's basically nuts, dried fruit & cheese, but it's easy and fills me up until snack time.2

Well I make these ahead of time cause they aren't so fast, but they keep in the fridge for the rest of the week so on busy days I can grab 1 or 2 and go. Also, they are eggs but .... it's all I got really.
BACON AND EGG MUFFINS- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare 6 large muffin cups with cooking spray.
- Arrange bacon on a microwave-safe plate. Cook bacon in microwave for 90 seconds. (I do it in the skillet cause I like my bacon cooked fully and more crisp. Long enough so it's still pliable)
- Place a slice of bacon into each muffin cup so that the bacon lines the edges of the cup.
- Beat 8 eggs and 1/4 cup milk together in a bowl; Add 1/4 cup of green onion, 1/4 cup diced jalapeno pepper, and 1/4 cup of roasted red pepper (I use Rotel) and mix all together in bowl. Ladle into muffin cups.
- Bake in preheated oven until only slightly moist on top, about 20 minutes. Season the muffins with salt and pepper; top with Cheddar cheese. Continue baking until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes more.
You can alter the ingredients. I use more jalapeno's cause I like spicy. And I add Tabasco sauce to the bowl too. Basically you can throw in whatever you like or usually put in your omelets. Sometimes I put 2 bacon slices in one muffin cup cause ..... bacon. haha
Anyhow, if you pre-make 'em, you can just grab one in the mornin' and nuke it and be good for awhile. They are pretty filling.6 -
Great. Will try this

I take 1 cup of mixed berries, 1 cup of plain non fat Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup of my favorite granola and mix it together and it really fills me up.5

I have overnight oats now that the weather is warm:
1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup (or more to your taste) fat free Greek yoghurt, sweetener of choice, fruits or protein powder and other additions like nuts, dried fruits, more yoghurt or milk of choice. (Even add stuff like chocolate chip, granola, maple syrup if you like).
I make it the night before so I can just grab it and eat it on the go.

Toast with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter. Low fat yogurt with berries and oats. Really simple and filling.2

If you are looking for an amazing protein pancake recipe: https://www.jennifermeyering.com/chocolate-protein-pancakes/
These are by far my favorite go-to breakfast item. I make them all one morning when I'm not too busy and then freeze the rest. Whenever I want them I just pop them into the toaster and spread peanut butter and sugar-free jelly on them. It's a guiltless protein filled breakfast! I also love eating them with plain greek yogurt!2 -
These are a great make ahead healthy, chewy and satisfying grab and go meal/snack. I like to wrap each bar in wax paper or plastic wrap and then store them in the fridge.
BANANA OATMEAL BARS
INGREDIENTS
3 ripe bananas
1/3 cup applesauce
2 cups uncooked oats
1/2 cup raisins
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup of almond milk, or whatever kind you use
DIRECTIONS
Mash the bananas and mix in the rest of the ingredients. Bake at 350 degrees in an 8 x 8 pan for 15 to 20 minutes. Makes 12 servings. If you double the recipe, bake in a 9 x 13 pan and bake an extra 5 or 10 minutes.
These are great as is, or you can add other stuff to them as you like. I've been adding 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and a little dark chocolate to my batches, but the stats are for the base recipe. Other add-on ideas...pecans, chocolate or carob chips, ground flax seed, pumpkin/pepita seeds, other kinds of dried fruit (cherry, dates, prunes, cranberries, etc.), coconut, etc.

I toast 1/2 high fiber English muffin, spread 1 tbs peanut butter, then cut up 1/2 banana and place on top of muffin. Sprinkle with lots of cinnamon,2

Well some of these recipes do involve eggs but maybe in a different way than you've tried in the past?
Hopefully you find something quick and easily on this thread that works for you! @katiewalski785
What's handy is these can be prepared ahead of time, frozen and then pulled out as needed, changing up ingredients for individual tastes.

You can make some protein pancakes ahead of time and just freeze them. So when you're ready to eat them just microwave for a minute and your good to go!2

I do 1 piece of Rye bread toasted, with smashed avocado/feta mix and sliced tomato (3 slices).
If I'm having a gym day or extra exercise I will add a poached egg and drop the tomato.
Image attached to show the break downs, I'm doing calories so 225 for this I'm happy with, cheers.

One of my favorite breakfasts is frozen, whole wheat pita, microwaved 1 minute and spread with 2 T. fresh ground almond butter and apple slices from 1/2 Pink Lady apple. It holds me til lunchtime.

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/3 cup frozen blueberries
1/4 cup grape nuts cereal
By the time I get to work the blueberries are thawed, makes for a tasty, filling breakfast.2
