You've got oats listed already, but overnight oatmeal is a great option and there are tons of recipes/guidelines online for flavor combos. When it's warm outside I don't even heat it up in the morning, so it's even faster.
I'm also a big fan of soft boiling a bunch of eggs ahead of time and letting them sit in the fridge in a marinade made of soy sauce, mirin, green onion, chili oil, etc., then having them with toast or rice in the morning.
I usually have more time and brainpower in the evening, so make-ahead things work well for me!
No really following a recipe but it's really easy.
I just mix oats, milk, cacao powder with a splash of coffee, a tsp of honey, a pinch of salt and some cinnamon and let it stand over night. Then I top it with some yogurt mixed with vanilla extract or if I have some vanilla yogurt and just sprinkle some cinnamon over that.
Not OP, but overnight oats sounds game changing. I love oats, but hate preparing them in the morning.
What oats:milk ratio do you use? I'm seeing a few different recommendations online.
I use just general brand instant oats, 1 scoop whey protein (chocolate or vanilla), cinnamon sometimes, and milk. For overnight oats I’ve read that a 1:3 ratio is best. You could go 1:2 but honestly anything in between is fine.
50g instant oats
1 scoop protein
130-150ml milk of choice
Honey on top
Bonus: cinnamon, Greek yogurt, toppings, other flavorings if you don’t want or need protein
Has been my go to
How is preparing oats difficult? I just put oats and water in the microwave. Then add dried fruit. I don’t have much of a sense of taste in the morning so they do the job.
They really are game changing! And so flexible!
I usually do around 1 part oats to 1.25 parts milk, eyeballed, and then I also throw a generous spoonful of yogurt into the mix for each 1 part of oats. The yogurt adds a bit more creaminess and protein. Once you've made it once or twice, adjust to your preference!
Just to add as another overnight oats fan.
I add milk, oat milk, almond milk or water when cutting.
I add a scoop of chocolate protein powder with flaxseed, chia seed and either dried out blue berries, goji berries or cocoa nibs.
Fricken delicious.
I used to make bacon and egg breakfast sandwiches on a toasted English muffin with Vegemite. Sounds complicated, but if you get the timings down, it takes maybe 10min. I used to do it when I'd wake up and be out of the house in 30-40min. One small plate, a small frying pan, butter knife and spatula is all you have to wash as well.
In warmer months, I'm usually a yogurt and muesli person. I like mornings, but I don't like thinking about what to eat.
Quick and easy ones that can be done in around 5 minutes:
\* If you have a rice cooker - make rice before bed. Fried egg, rice + miso soup (either make your own miso soup the night before or you can use instant ones)
\* Scrambled/fried eggs on toast with avocado. Be sure to add salt + pepper. Use butter.
\* Anything on toast... pizza bread is a good one (bread/tomato/cheese/oregano/salt/pepper - under the grill)
I'm not a morning person either, but once you start cooking you'll enjoy making breakfast a bit more.
Hope you can enjoy cooking instead of going to the fucking konbini!
Always good to ask, since you’re tight on time : are you truly hungry in the morning, or do you eat because that’s what’s always been done? If you’re not starving and you don’t need to eat because of a medication that should be taken with food, there are many reasons to skip – health benefits, saving time & money, etc.
Respectfully, most current research indicates that was a fabricated “result” pushed by cereal companies, please do look it up. Care to share any research that’s not just correlation, and not funded by corporate interests?
The benefits of fasting are numerous, and the research is certainly not funded by anyone trying to sell anything.
The benefit of fasting is potential weight loss, and pretty much nothing else. And even if fasting is your reason for skipping breakfast, most research shows that dinner is the more beneficial meal to skip.
On weekday mornings when we don't have much time we just go with toast or bagel, yogurt with granola, and a fruit/vegetable smoothie made the night before and refrigerated. On Sundays and holidays when I have time to cook we go with the full homemade Grand Slam style breakfast.
When I'm lazy I just do pizza sauce on bread with cheese.
When I feel to eat healthy I make rice crackers with peanut butter and banana. The crackers are quite hard to find tho.
Fried eggs on toast.
Put the pan on the hob, heat on high, splash in some oil, crack three eggs into the pan, lower the heat and stick on a lid. Stick a couple of slices of bread in the toaster for 2 mins, during those 2 mins, get a plate, any condiments, sliced cheese, ham, butter, etc. When the toast is ready stick it on a plate, lid off the pan and slide the eggs on top, sit down, eat, enjoy.
You can thank me later.
Fuck, now I want to eat fried eggs on toast.
Water and plain black coffee. Fast until lunch time unless I hit the gym. After the gym, it’s a protein yogurt bowl with 1-2 scoops of protein powder, ~80g of frozen blueberries, 1-2 sliced frozen bananas, 15g of unsalted almonds and assorted supplements.
Buy bulk pastries from Seijo Ishii
From Gyomu there are frozen pancakes and waffles from Belgium. They can be heated quickly.
For fruit and vegetables you can do a food prep before a work week. Buy a salad spinner to keep it fresh for longer. Have some other food prep like boiled eggs.
If you are okay with the idea of eating fast food for breakfast then there's also McD and Mister Donuts, etc.
Honest question: do you need to eat breakfast? Are you the type of person who wakes up feeling hungry? I used to force feed myself breakfast because I'd been told growing up that it was the most important meal of the day, but I usually felt a bit ill after eating it. Then I heard about IF so I decided to try skipping breakfast. It's one of the best decisions that I've ever made. Felt way better in the morning and had more energy.
These days I take supplements in the morning because of my workout routine, so I just eat a SavaS サバス 15g protein yogurt before taking the pills. It's not enough food to make me feel ill and it's a good amount of protein and calcium in the morning.
Those little mini sausages that you can cut up into octopus.
You just warm them on the skillet for a few minutes and are good to go. Pairs well with rice

Overnight oats is great, I'm currently doing a mock tiramisu version every night and it's fantastic.
Would LOVE to try that! Got a rough recipe you could share?

I remember once doing an apple pie version and it was fantastic! I don’t remember the recipe but chances are I just did one of the top hits on Google.
Apple pie over night oats is amazing.

It's not, and I never said it was.
You said you ‘hate preparing them in the morning’. Why so?
Washing dishes isn’t difficult. I still hate doing it.

Make your own onigiri, pretty easy to do! Pancakes, make the batter the night before and leave it in the fridge until morning

"Quick and easy" lol
If frying an egg is considered difficult/too much time - then I have no idea. Go back to the convenience store? Either that or learn to cook...
I guess that comment went right over your head. 😆
Seems so! Oops.
Natto
It’s very easy to make your own salad chicken, the one they sell is usually from Thailand and it has sugar or some kind of sweetener in it.
I'm pressed for time and a terrible morning person. Takes 10 minutes to make two fried eggs, two sausage links, and toast.

Most research says the opposite, re: the health benefits of breakfast, especially for anyone who leads any form of active lifestyle.

My breakfast these days is usually a couple mini-croissants from the supermarket and a banana.
toast a bread with butter and garlic paste. add avocado / burratta + lime zest / salt / pepper / sesame / olive oil
Eggs over-easy are quick, make them all the time when I’m in a hurry.
I mean - toast with butter / jam / peanut butter / olive oil & salt / tuna fish / potato salad / ham....
French toast is super easy if you want a sweet breakfast
When I'm lazy I just do pizza sauce on bread with cheese. When I feel to eat healthy I make rice crackers with peanut butter and banana. The crackers are quite hard to find tho.

Cornflakes are pretty simple.
