Hey everyone! Like a lot of people, I don't have a lot of time in the morning to whip up a great breakfast every day... Normally I end up grabbing a Nutrigrain bar... which is quick and yummy, but not exactly filling or super nutritious.

Can any of you share your healthly and quick/easy breakfast ideas with me and others who might need some suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    Wow thanks everyone! I really like the idea of the make ahead egg pucks... that sounds super easy.

    And I was being a little sarcastic with my " most important meal of the day" lol

    My go-to breakfast is: 1/2 cup regular (not quick-cooking) rolled oats; 2 tbsp. chopped toasted almonds; 2 tbsp. diced "plum amazins" (diced prunes) or dried apricots; 1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon (I like Penzeys Vietnamese). I add cold water to submerge the oats, then nuke for 3 minutes, 10 seconds. Add 2/3 cup milk (lately it's unsweetened soy milk) and Splenda. I used a tbsp. of date syrup for a while until I started using MFP and realized how I could save some sugar and calories if I dropped that, so I did. It holds me at least four hours, sometimes five. I have a mug of coffee or strong tea with it as well.

    If I eat anything in the morning it's gotta be grab/go and I will eat it in the car or when I get to my office and get my coffee. Also, I often will simply have a 'snack' for breakfast --- and not eat a full meal until lunch and dinner (those meals have a higher calorie content than someone who's eating 3 whole meals, obviously). Works for me...breakfast isn't any more important than any other meal and as long as you feel satiated, have the energy you need through your day, and can meet your calorie goals --- I don't know why you would particularly NEED to eat breakfast.

    I keep on hand to eat in the morning:
    Bananas
    Cuties
    Hard boiled eggs
    Smoked meat or some sort of jerky
    Spiced nuts (right now I'm super into chili roasted pistachios)
    Other nut/dried fruit blends - like I love walnuts/dried cherries together. Sahale makes some good mixes too.
    I keep various Kashi bars in my office
    I keep various Larabars - but my fav are the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip ones


    That's my typical weekday breakfast. On weekends I do actually cook/eat breakfast. A huge one. Often I eat only 2 meals per day - but like I said, they have more calories than a typical 3 square meal a day diet.

    I haven't had breakfast in around six months. Just black coffee until around past 1 PM. I feel fantastic. Such an overrated meal.

    Green smoothie (few different recipes) and a couple of hard boiled eggs has been my breakfast most of this summer. 'bout 450-500 calories depending on the smoothie recipe I use.

    30g oats, 30g vegan (or normal) protein powder, 50ml oat milk, top up with water to the desired consistency, cinnamon and zero calorie sweetener (optional). Mix and put it in the fridge, then you can just microwave it in the morning for porridge or keep it cold. Add your favourite toppings I had dark chocolate, frozen raspberries and banana on mine this morning x
