Preferably something that has little to no preparation required.
Oatmeal. Pour in bowl with water/milk and nuke it for 3-4 min. Or you can do the whole overnight oats thing and have it ready with no prep in the morning.

Big container of plain oats or the prepackaged units of various flavors?
The large container is cheaper but I prefer the flavour of prepackaged units and it’s easier. They are still much healthier than other breakfasts and the cost is still just about twenty cents per bag anyway.
It really is the best answer. It’s pretty tasty, fast, and filling
I second oatmeal but I go with savory. 50g of oats, 250ml of broth/liquid.
Variation 1 is a spice mix that mimics a favorite rice pilaf recipe (maybe 1/2 tsp of Old Bay seasoning, some salt and pepper, a sprinkle of turmeric and coriander). Then add in protein, veg, cheese, whatever. That’s my go-to most of the time.
Variation 2 is “pizza” style: a scoop of premade marinara, some broth to fill out the rest of the liquid, and a sprinkle of shredded mozz. Throw in some protein/veg that works (think pizza).
Variation 3 is “Mexican style,” which I mostly do if I have some leftover carnitas or taco meat: change the spices to chili powder and cumin, cheese, of course.
Quick oats cook up in 2-2.5 minutes in the microwave. Total prep time is maybe 10-15 minutes.
Oh damn I never knew you could do oats like this. My wife recently went on an oatmeal kick and did overnight oats with peanut butter and milk but I had a real hard time with the texture/consistency of it.
It took me a moment to get used to it, because I had the traditional upbringing with oatmeal = cinnamon, sugar, etc. But it’s not that different from mashed potatoes, polenta, or rice. I already had the pilaf recipe that was a favorite “go with anything” side dish, so I tried that first and stuck with it.
I started by putting egg and olives on mine. Seemed breakfast-ish. Chili paste and egg and pork fu is great on oats too.
Overnight oats. There’s a ton of different ways to prep it for however you want it and whatever your nutritional needs are.

Great option! For me personally, Soylent tastes really good and has good nutrition, but I never feel full drinking it.
+1 and Huel black is my drinkable meal of choice.
- Overnight oats
- Yogurt with frozen fruit and granola (parfait)
- Granola/protein bar of choice
- Hard boiled eggs
- Peanut butter toast
Müesli
Oatmeal and yoghurt.
You can switch it up with fruits, nuts, syrups (like maple) etc.My goto is:
Oatmeal, plain yoghurt (3.5%) or greek (10%), passion fruit, apple, maple syrup (if I like it sweet).This will certainly fill you, has lots of vitamins and depending on how much and what you do is easy to eat.
Oat meal
So much prep going on in these comments.
Half a bowl of Shreddies, half of Swiss Muesli, milk. Tea if you have time, juice if not.
I like to make oats in the microwave and mix in peanut butter and banana slices
Mate?
Oatmeal. You can customize it to what you need and your tastes. It just needs liquid for the oats and whatever additions you want to do. I use chia seeds and flax seeds for protein & fiber, and add frozen fruit and vanilla soy milk. Microwave and enjoy.
Peanut butter, dried fruit, honey, fresh fruit, etc. are all good choices
I have little meal prepped oatmeal jars I set up. Everything is pre-measured just add a cup of water and pour in the jar, boil and you’re done. They have oats, brewers yeast, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sometimes whey protein (that one changes how you have to hear it though to prevent weird clumping). Throw a fried egg on top of I have time, or a scoop of cream cheese to mix things up
Overnight oats. Look up recipes, but you mix stuff together the night before and just eat it with a spoon out of the jar the next day. For optimizing the morning routine, nothing is simpler.
My go to is plain Greek yogurt and a handful of raspberries or strawberries. And throw in some oats or granola to change it up
A serving each of full fat Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and chocolate protein powder all mixed up. It forms a mousse and is yummy. Takes a minute to make and a couple minutes to eat, lots of protein and fat so it keeps you going way longer than it should. I mix the PB into the yogurt first then mix in the protein, that helps it mix better.
I’m stealing this. I need to change up my breakfast routine, I’ve been making the same breakfast for 3 years. Cheesy chicken patty tortilla melt thing 🤷♂️
Bircher muesli, it’s basically oats soaked in milk overnight. Can be prepared weeks in advance (in dry form) and takes seconds to prepare the night before.
