I am looking for ideas for quick breakfasts. What did you eat this morning for breakfast? What are your favorite breakfasts before you have to run out the door?

    Overnight Oats is my usual go to:

    I make around 6 portions at a time:

    300g Oats
    125g Alpro Cherry Yoghurt
    300ml Alpro Oat Milk
    100g Dark Chocolate Chips
    20g Cocoa Nibs

    I usually then freeze the ones I don't need immediately and add the night before/on the day 50g Cherries and 40g Blueberries to each portion.

    Works out approx 375 cals per portion. 9.2g Protein/ 10.5g Fat / 57.3g Carbs

    Breakfast casserole (change up recipes, usually includes potato base, eggs, cheese, sausage).
    Prep it on the weekend, reheat a serving each morning before leaving house.

    On the weekends I portion out small cups of blueberries, strawberries, sliced almonds, walnuts, seeds, etc. Then all week long I have little plastic cup with the portions in them in the bottom of my fridge. In the morning I make oatmeal or plain nonfat Greek yogurt and add whatever toppings I want that morning.

    Protein bread
    Mix
    3 table spoons of flax flour,
    1/2 tsp of baking powder,
    one table spoon of olive oil,
    some salt,
    two table spoons of water and
    one small egg

    in a cup sized container. Mix all well and put in a microwave on 800 for 3 min.

    I eat it with 250 ml of yogurt, but it can be used as substitute for bread so you can cut it in half and put some stuff inside (ham, cheese...). You can also add some seeds and/or spice into the mixture.

    Cinnamon raisin Ezekiel toast with almond butter, or oatmeal and turkey sausage. I need protein in the morning and am intolerant to eggs so it can be challenging.

    So I'm definitely a fan of Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt - especially vanilla - and a banana or an apple
    But I need to learn more about this protein oatmeal many of you are making.
    Any favorite brands or tips on preparation?

    My weekday breakfasts are packed and eaten at work. I do muffins (blueberry or blueberry bran) and cinnamon rolls. Nothing to big.

    Either two eggs (somewhat soft boiled so they are more satisfying and nutritious) or protein overnight oats. I make my protein overnight oats 3-5 servings at a time.

    To make 4 servings, for example, I will take 1 cup rolled or steel cut oats (so 1/4 cup per serving), 2 scoops protein powder (1/2 serving per), about 2 tsp cinnamon, and water, mix well, and soak them in individual containers. You could also use your choice of milk for a little more protein and nutrition.

    Lately I'll put in 1 packet each of those little 100 calorie fruit and nut snack packs, for sweetness, extra fiber and extra protein. I don't need any additional sweetener because the protein shake powder provides that. I could also add unsweetened cocoa powder, it's only 20 calories per teaspoon. A serving of oatmeal made that way is roughly 300 calories and has lots of good stuff. It also packs well in those cute little one cup containers.

    Lately I've been having my protein oats, made as above, on my walking/weight lifting days and the eggs on my walking/stretching days. It's working out well so far.
