I like to make oats in the microwave and mix in peanut butter and banana slices
Somehow I never liked breakfast, as a kid I'd try to avoid it if possible.
Over the last couple of years I pushed it even further and most of the time I only eat dinner.
Been doin 2 bananas with jar of peanuts. Bite of banana, pour in a few peanuts, eat together.
I open a can of sardines and slice open an avocado. Healthy fats and protein, low carb!
Cottage cheese with granola. Similar to yogurt but I think cottage cheese is more palatable. The low fat version (often 1% or 2% instead of whole/ full fat) doesn't have as strong a taste to me and is covered pretty easily by granola if you don't like the flavor of cottage cheese. I also recommend store brand for the same reasonβthe taste is less strong, it seem, than name brand. For example, I think Daisy cottage cheese tastes a lot like their sour cream and just doesn't work as well as whatever store brand is available (and often cheaper) right next to it.
Sometimes I add a little jam or something too, which is also good
Diet Coke.
Protein shake.
Chewing is linked with satiety, so I'd steer towards at least something semisolid to better meet ops criteria.
Fiber helps more with feeling full than chewing. A proper protein shake will fill you up.
Unless there are dinner leftovers, I usually eat a corn farofa filled with two scrambled eggs, half onion, and a carrot. It's 10min cooking if you plan in advance (grate the carrot and chop the onion), really filling, and... well, you got two vegs and a grain and a source of protein, I'd say that it's nutritious.
Miso soup is my go-to breakfast. You can get dashi powder and miso paste, then just heat water in the kettle and combine. I love that itβs warm and flavorful, but actually a pretty light breakfast (which I prefer).
I make steel cut oats in a rice cooker with a timer, so I can put the oats and water in the night before. I've pre-mixed the spices, peanut powder, flax powder. I throw nuts and raisins in when I mix it all together in the morning. For spices it's cocoa, tiny bit of cloves, tiny bit of cinnamon, tiny bit of ginger, pinch of salt.
Chia seed pudding is super simple to do. Put 3-4 tablespoons of chia and one cup of liquid (e.g. milk) in a jar, throw it in the fridge and let it sit overnight. Add some fruit to it in the morning if you want flavor. It is basically flavorless if you don't.
Microwave oatmeal but with so much water that it's drinkable. Have a pint of that and your body will thank you tremendously.
I always have a bowl of full-fat Greek yogurt with a spoonful of almond butter, a sprinkle of cinnamon, some collagen powder, and a little bit of maple syrup. Easy to scarf down in a hurry and keeps me satisfied for a few hours.
Bread, butter, cheese and cold cuts.
Breakfast burritos: Scramble up some eggs and whatever you've got, toss it on a tortilla, throw some cheese and salsa on and you've got a hearty, easily transported meal that's relatively easy to make.
Oatmeal: Make your oats, toss in nuts, berries, whatever: Yum!
Sausages: I just stick them on a baking sheet, bake for 10 minutes at 400F, flip, 10 more minutes, and they're good to go. Save even more time by precooking them, storing them in the fridge, and microwaving them on the fly. Add some toast and guac, maybe a piece of fruit, and you've got some decent nutrition.
Breakfast shakes: Lots of nutrients and little to no prep time. Not super filling but enough to get you through at least the first few hours of the day.
