Anyone have any simple recipes for someone who is short on time and isn't really a "breakfast person"?

I'm looking for something that I can make a lot of and then just heat up quickly in the mornings (possibly even eat in my car on my way to work)
I tend to be picky when it comes to breakfast. I do like muffins but not every day and they're kinda high in the carb department....now that I think of it...pretty much everything I currently eat for breakfast is high in carbs!

    I've actually heard you're suppose to have most of your carbs in the morning for energy. Lessen your carbs during the day since you'll need less energy as the day goes on.

    But what I usually do for breakfast is make something with fruit. I LOVE peanut butter banana smoothies. It's about 330 calories, but will definitely keep you full until lunch. I use two tbsp of peanut butter, one banana, about 1/4 c. of milk (I use whole, if you use skim or 1%, it'll be less calories), and a handful of ice. I put it in the blender, blend, pour it in a cup, and go! Takes all of five minutes.

    Another thing I do (and love!) is get some fat-free vanilla Greek yogurt (about a cup), throw some blueberries and sliced up strawberries in there, stir, and eat!

    I don't have much time in the mornings, either, except for on the weekends, so these are my main quick breakfasts. Hope you enjoy!

    I saw this posted a few days ago, and it sounds like it could fit what you're looking for. http://www.lynnskitchenadventures.com/2009/05/peanut-butter-baked-oatmeal.html

    I make egg cups in muffin pan then put them in little bags in the fridge and just pop them in the micro for a few seconds to heat them up. Last ones I made had
    6eggs
    little bit of water
    diced onions
    1/2 ceddar cheese
    2 slices of bacon chopped up
    I beat the eggs and water to lighten it up sprinkled cheese and onion on bottom of muffin pan filled about half way with eggs then put a littel bacon on each one. put it in the oven about 15 minutes.
    only 68 calories per egg cup.

    Thanks for sharing this one. I usually just do fried egg whites and prepare them ahead of time, but I really like this twist with the muffins.

    Baby marrow is Zuchinni :) In South Africa its better known as baby marrow :)

    Another thing i like to have 1 slice rye toast with marmalde and two boiled eggs!

    Cereal doesnt last me long enough so i go for high protein breakfast.

    I'm not a huge "breakfast foods" eater... so my breakfasts usually consist of:

    (A) Chocolate / PB / Banana protein shake (1 cup almond milk, 1 tbs all natural PB, 1/2 banana, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, ice)
    (B) Berry/Vanilla Protein Shake (1/2 cup mixed berries -I buy fresh and freeze them, 1 cup almond milk, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 3-6oz greek yogurt, ice)
    (C) High Protein Oatmeal (1/2 cup dry oats, 1 scoop protein powder- vanilla or chocolate)
    (D) Greek Yogurt (either Chobani or Fage) and 1/2 cup of berries
    (E) Double Fiber bread (or double fiber eng. muffin) with all natural PB.

    And this morning, I even had turkey stuffed zuchinni that I prepped last night... ha!

    High protein, high fiber, and some carbs in there... and I'm set!
