Healthy-ish breakfast on the run

I keep skipping breakfast (for me -- kids and DH eat cereal). I'm too busy in the mornings and also don't like breakfast cereals. Granola bars are too sweet. I'll eat something like leftover pizza if we happen to have it. Eggs if I have time, but I often am too busy to make them.
I need some ideas for grab and go breakfasts. A pita bread and a cheese stick seems to work. Any other ideas? I need somehting that doesn't need to be defrosted or warmed up; that I can eat in the car instead of succumbing to the drive through on the way to work for an egg mcmuffin or something cheesy like that. |

We get these at Costco and love 'em. 2 minutes in the microwave.

| Make half a peanut butter sandwich the night before and eat it with an apple in the car. Eliminate jelly if you want to keep the sugar content down. Swap the peanut butter for almond butter if you want to make it healthier. |

| Make a batch of eggs as if you were going to do scrambled eggs or an omelette, and add any veggies or cheese or whatever, and then pour it into a muffin tin (spray the tin cups with pam first). Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes (give or take) and voila, you have ready-to-go eggs for the morning. I make these on sunday and bring them to work with me, where I put them in a warmed up pita with a little cream cheese and tomato. You could just drop them in a pita on your way out the door. If you don't like your eggs cold, though, then this may not work out for you. |

| OP you can hard boil eggs ahead of time, then slice them and put on an english muffin w/ a slice of cheese in the morning, microwave it for about a minute. With ketchup and hot sauce I like this as much as the drive thru and it is faster and cheaper. |

| The "evos" burritos are yummy, the Amy's brand toaster poppers are good, jsut add some Organic Valley scrambled egg whites, CedarLane pseudo-Egg McMuffin is great...try the "Eat This, Not That" series for quick, healthy and filling ideas. |

| I boil five eggs on Sunday nights, then peel them and put them in the fridge. I grab one on my way out the door in the morning, along with a banana I stash in my purse and my coffee. Not the best, but it's breakfast, and somewhat healthy. |

| It sounds weird, but I have "ants on a log" almost every morning: slice up a banana, put almond butter and a few raisins on top. Fast to prepare and enough protein to get you to lunch. |

If you want just a touch of sweet, I do this for the kids but love it for myself, too - simmer your favorite dried fruit (e.g. apricots, figs, raisins, prunes, cranberries, currants) in a juice (orange works well) until soft. Drain, reserving the juice, then puree the fruit in the blender, add the juice back by the tablespoon if it's too thick. Keeps for a long time in the fridge and passes the "healthy-ish" bar. |

| Any type of breakfast burrito that comes prepackaged is not healthy sorry to break it to you. |

Yeah, but it might be healthy-ish, if I'm comparing it to Egg Mc Muffins. |

I do this - works beautifully. |

How are the evos burritos more unhealthy than ones made at home? Agree about most packaged foods (sodium, preservatives, etc) but I'm wondering about this specific brand because they seem fine to me. Am I missing something? |
