I need some healthy breakfast ideas for on the go.... I am quite busy in the mronings and normally SKIP breakfast all together but you know that is bad and if I am going to do this I have to of course eat healthy 5 times a day so HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Never go without

I carry a box with the packages of oatmeal plain..... That will help you get a kick started in the morning..... I personal try to eat eggs and keep my muscle building going on and if i dont have time, I eat the oatmeal....

Either way.... Dont go without.....

You can have hard boiled eggs prepared ahead of time and just grab a couple out the fridge on your way out the door. I'm also a fan of oatmeal. What I do is cook several servings of steel cut oats ahead of time and microwave them in the morning with strawberries or blueberries. You can also make a protein shake fairly quickly with a couple of scoops of whey protein, water and frozen fruit in a magic bullet. Another quick breakfast is a tablespoon of peanut butter on whole grain bread.
 
Thanks u2. I didnt even think about those two things... Here I was thinking I had to cook more elaborate things each day!

So I went grocery shopping today and bought me some plain ole oatmeal in packets and will take it to work with me to have. I also got egggs and will boil those tonight and peel them for tomorrow. I will take out the yolk and stickk them in a ziplock baggy so I can grab and go.

Me and protien shakes dont fair too good but that could be because I havent found a good tasting one yet.

I love steel-cut oats, but they take a long time to cook. I honestly never thought of cooking them ahead of time. Do you store them in the refrigerator? How long do they last?
 
Yes, I keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days in sealed gladware - to be quite honest, they're gone well before 5 days usually, 'cause I'll snack on them or put a few tablespoons in a protein shake. They keep very well. I much prefer SCO over instant or rolled oats... I love the texture. When I make them, I use 1 and a half cups of oats, 6 cups of water, a teaspoon of vanilla and a couple of shakes of cinnamon (not the cinnamon that's mixed with sugar, straight cinnamon) and cook them for about 45 minutes to an hour. They're delicious with fruit!
 
I drink Issopure It Taste Great and it also Zero Carbs.......

Several flavors.....

Enjoy

- boiled eggs
- salad and tuna or turkey wraps
- fruit
- smoothies, vege juices, soup in a hot flask
- sushi
 
yoplait light yogurt + fruit + orange juice or some other good drink
don't have to prepare anything at all just eat and go
 
I've never been much of a breakfast person but as I've been on my weight loss routine I have simply been making a sandwich bag full of 1 cup of dry cheerios and drinking 1 30 calorie can of V8 juice. I then wash it down with a full liter bottle of water. That way I get some breakfast in...
 
I'm another fan of SCO.. the bummer part is the cook time. I get up at 4am and have to be out the door by 5:10 and standing around cooking that isnt happening at that hour. I never thought of pre cooking them. Literally I eat it on average 5 times a week.

Another thing I do is make smoothies like crazy and they are totally filling. I do 1 cup of blackberries 1 banana and greek style yogurt and mix it in my majic bullet.
 
-smoothie (strawberry, vanilla yogurt, soy milk)
-protein bars
-nutrigrain or special k bars
-wheat toast (w/ peanut butter and/or fruit preserves)
-sandwich baggie of cereal (cheerios or special k--i like it cause it feels like a snack)
-yogurt
-oatmeal (w/ some vanilla, cinnamon, and fruit)
-piece of fruit (apple, orange, banana, grapefruit)
-protein shake (i bought one serving size packets, so i just have to grab it and go, then add water--brand is tight curves, bodybuilding.com)
 
What exactly is the steel oats thing you guys talk about? Can you buy them at a regular grocery store?

Oh my I wish I could have sushi for breakfast! LOL However, that is not realistic in my world.

Thanks for the ideas. The eggs and oats were actually easy and tasty as I love them both. I will also definitely look into the greek yogurt as well. I also think I need to add some grapefruit from time to time. :)
 
SCO are not processed or rolled, it's the whole oat chopped up into nuggets. You can usually get them on any cereal aisle. Quaker makes them as well as several other companies.

That shows the consistency difference before cooking.

Quaker makes them in a blue package just like their red package.

hahaha this is quite funny! in this post you can really see the difference in culture in the different parts of the world where the users are. I'm from Spain and the breakfasts are so different than yours! Normally we have a coffe with milk, a toast with a bit of olive oil/marmelade and an orange juice!
 
Banana's are my on the go saviour!

If I literally have no time they're the perfect breakfast - it takes a split second to pick one up out of the fruit bowl and you can unpeal it and eat it as you walk. They fill me up for at least 2 hours until i'm able to get something else. Couple it with a nice thick juice like a smoothie or V8 and you'll be sorted till lunch.
