Many breakfast foods are easy to eat in five minutes, or quick to prepare and take in the car. However, be aware that many "on-the-run" breakfasts are not nutritionally adequate.

For example, breakfast bars may not be as nutritious as cereal of the same name; you also miss out on nutrients from toppings such as milk and fresh fruit. Breakfast bars and diet shakes are often extremely high in sugar, leading to mid-morning blood-sugar crashes.

Banana, cut down the middle, with peanut butter in between the two pieces of banana.

Smoothie of 2.5 oz of frozen fruit, 4 oz of low-fat yogurt, juice of one freshly squeezed orange, 1/2 oz of flax seed and one serving (0.9 oz) of All Bran, Extra Fiber. (Cals: 371 /carbs: 78/ fat 7.4/ fiber 15.9/protein 11.9)

From Jules (a Peanut Butter Nutter):

Take equal parts peanut butter and wheat germ mixed together and spread on a toasted waffle and top with some type of fruit, preferably bananas or blueberries.

Bonnie's real meals:

For me breakfast is the first meal and I don't go for traditional - a 93% lean burger on a whole wheat bun, grilled chicken breast or eggplant parmesan can be filling and easier to face than eggs or cereal first thing in the morning.

Molly's breakfast beans:

I take 1/2 cup fat-free refried beans and some mozzarella cheese on a whole wheat tortilla, put it under the broiler until the cheese is melted, then top it with some salsa.

A "PB-and-nana-eggo sandwich" from Sarah:

Two Special K eggo's with 1 tbsp reduced-fat peanut butter spread on one side, take one small banana (slice or smash) put on the eggo's and voila! PB-and-nana-eggo sandwich!
