Quick on the go ideas

Anyone have some quick on the go ideas? I prep my lunches beforehand most days but not breakfast or snacks. Most protein bars have too much sugar. I like plain instant oatmeal but that gets old after a while. I enjoy my sleep too much to get up early enough to prepare breakfast, and I dislike yogurt. I'm looking for some low calorie grab and go items for breakfast and snacks.

hard boiled eggs are good and you can prepare them ahead. I also use Quest bars which do not have sugar . a quick Protein drink like muscle milk will work too. They now have a 32 grm protein muscle milk. I am sure other people have tons of ideas. I am lucky and work at home so I can fix a good breakfast if I want to . Not a oatmeal or Cereal fan due to the sugar and carbs but love eggbeater omelettes with turkey sausage. You can always bake some egg cups. they have eggs, cheese, any type of meat and veggies bake and you can grab it and go.

My go to breakfast is a protein shake with 1 tbsp of either plain oatmeal or cream of wheat, and 1 tbsp flax seeds added to it. It's REALLY yummy if you mix it all up the night before and let it sit in the fridge until you are ready for it in the morning. :)

bumping to see more ideas that come through

I make up mini egg things from the site Theworldaccordingtoeggface.com and freeze them. I can grab two of these little mini muffin shaped protein things for a great filling breakfast. I also do protein drink with espresso and almond milk most mornings, and both are super low carb if your protein powder is. I also keep mini light baby bel cheeses handy to grab and the P3 meat/cheese/nuts packs from the grocery deli area - perfect size! Oh, and quest bars (I only eat half a one at a time) are also quite low in carbs compared to other protein bars – and they taste wonderful to me.

I'm not sure if you are still looking for ideas, but I've had good luck with the P3 Protein packs. They are found in the refrigerated section by the Lunchables. They are small, bite sized pieces and easy to digest. I have those and the Ham and Cheddar with Crackers Lunchables in a drawer in my fridge so I can just grab them quickly. The sodium can be high in some, but they are high in protein and quick, and they taste good. I also have turkey sticks made by Jennie-O in the same drawer. They are shaped like cheese sticks, but only have 25 calories and 5 g protein.
