I've got my morning smoothie routine down pat -- I can make a smoothie and wash the blender out in under 5 minutes. If I want to round it out, I'll do a bagel with butter or peanut butter in foil as well. You need a special to-go cup for smoothies but they are easy to find.

I prefer just fruit smoothies but if I used frozen berries as a base I can also incorporate greens and it doesn't ruin the flavor for me. Can also use things like peanut butter, avocados, etc. to make it more of a protein shake (not in the same smoothie, heh). I make sure I have my ingredients all set to go on Sunday night so that when I am making them, I can just toss stuff in and go. I use frozen fruit except for bananas (always fresh for that) because then you don't have to prep the fruit at all and it improves the consistency of the smoothie.

Breakfast is a great time to get more vegetables in. Egg cups loaded with veggies - spinach, broccoli, bell peppers, mushrooms - are easy to make ahead and reheat in the morning. Or egg and bean breakfast burritos.

-plain yogurt with berries and slivered almonds
-overnight oats with berries and nuts
-oatmeal (raw oats made w/ half whole milk, half water) with half a banana and blueberries
-two eggs fried with lid on over toast w/ avocado
All of these options keep me full until 12:30pm and can be prepared in 5 minutes or less.

When I make oatmeal or overnight oats, I make enough for 3-4 meals and just warm up in the morning.

I'm on a new routine of getting up at 5 AM and out the door by 5:20-5:30 this week, and I've been making a quick egg and cheese sandwich, wrapping it in foil, and eating it at work around 6:30-7 AM; surprisingly it's kept me full until 11-11:30. I know it's not the world's healthiest - I had wanted to pre-cook some egg muffins with veggies and didn't have time on the weekend - but when you're up that early something hearty is good, and sounds a lot like OP's original fast food preference.

Don’t be ridiculous. Oatmeal - especially made from steel oats - is not unhealthy.

Right? I feel really bad for the person in this thread who has these strange ideas about food. Plus, if you’re worried about the “anti-nutrients” you can always soak your oats overnight with a little yogurt before cooking the . Very old school Weston price approach to oats, which is quite tasty.

I always eat at my desk, plain Greek yogurt and I mix in blueberries , cinnamon and walnuts, I put the fruit and nuts together in a bag from home.

Banana milkshake— 1 cup of low-fat milk and a banana with some ice, and cinnamon. If you want extra protein, add a scoop of vanilla whey protein powder. This is surprisingly filling. You can add espresso to it too, if that’s your jam.
