Breakfast bulk foods

What does 'healthy' mean for you?
My breakfast consists of 40gr oats, 8gr raisins, 88gr skyr and whatever fresh fruit I have. It doesn't contain many highly processed foods, has vitamins, some protein, and fills me up for a while. But of course a breakfast of 261kcal is likely far too little for you, and you might prefer more proteins and/or fats.

Overnight oats are great if you're in a hurry. There are several different recipes on pinterest, etc., and you can search for "proats" for high protein overnight oats.

Smoothie bowls are another good, quick option: Plain greek yogurt, your choice of fresh or frozen fruit, a bit of sweetener and maybe some granola, nut butter or nuts/seeds.

You could also make a batch of egg omelet muffin cups or freezer breakfast burritos on the weekend that you could quickly reheat in the mornings.

Yeah I am after more calories. Just sometimes it's difficult to drink and not exactly amazing. I was just seeing what others had?

Before I got a food scale and realized just how caloric it was, my breakfast smoothie was peanut butter (supposed to be 2 T but more likely 3+), banana, chocolate protein powder, a raw egg, and for liquid half coffee and half almond Teeccino, an herbal coffee substitute. I'd usually make the coffee mix the day before and chill it, but it could also be made that AM and iced.

This was yummy and 500 calories easy.

These days I would also add soaked chia seeds for fiber.

Swap out the peanut butter for full fat milk
Pick some small 1kilo bags of protein and rotate.
I’d eat the peanut butter off a spoon if I needed the extra cals. It all depends how much time you have in the morning to prepare food, for me it’s get the calories down me and out the door, on a weekend it’s full English breakfast as I have the time.

I look at most of my meals as fuel, just get it down
But will always have nicely prepared evening meal

This might be more work than you want, but what about an egg bake or casserole? You have to cook it the first time, but after that individual portions can be reheated. I use this recipe as a base: https://www.crazyforcrust.com/cheesy-sausage-egg-casserole/

I like that it uses cottage cheese (and it really does work texture wise - it's not lumpy or weird.) I have made it with a couple different kinds of meat, vegetables, and a combination of both. I will often eat it with the previous day's leftover veggies on the side.

I'll make 3/4 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt vanilla, slice a whole banana, about 15 red grapes and quarter cup of protein granola. 3 or 4 hard boiled eggs and a bagel with reduced fat peanut butter
