What's a simple and quick yet healthy breakfast to make?
College Student here! I have to wake up really early everyday to go to class (all my classes start around 8) and I don't have time to eat breakfast. I don't want to starve or just eat different snacks during my classes. I know breakfast is the most important meal of the day so any suggestions for something healthy I can fix up quickly before I leave?

make it a mix of whole grain (for fiber), protein, and fruit.
High fiber/decent protein cereal (Kash Go Lean is a great line but whatever floats your boat) some milk and an orange. Toast, greek or regular yogurt, and an apple. Oatmeal (instant is alright but watch the sugar- better to get the plain) with almonds mixed with milk and strawberries. Peanut butter spread over a whole grain (or multi-grain) tortilla with blueberries. A quick omelet with egg, some cheese, mushroom, and a whole grain bagel. Brekkie smoothie. Mix a cup of yogurt or milk with some fruit, and a piece of toast. If you like the meal bars (Luna, Lara, etc.) eat them with some yogurt/or milk, and a banana. Toasted bagel with some cottage cheese and blueberries. Brekkie wrap with egg, some cheese, warmed tortilla, and spinach.
These are just some of the things that I eat...and all take 5-10 minutes
If you have a microwave and a toaster you can make a breakfast sandwich. Scramble an egg or two and pour into a 2 cup glass bowl that you have sprayed with non stick spray. Sprinkle in some cheese, veggies, anything you want, and then microwave for about 1 - 1 1/2 minutes, stirring with a fork about every 20 seconds until the egg is done, but still soft. Meanwhile toast some bread or english muffin and you have a quick breakfast sandwich in less than 5 minutes. Or buy some instant oatment and fruit to keep around.
You should have a mix of foods to provide good nutrition and lasting energy.
So: A glass of fruit juice or a piece of fruit. (orange, apple, pear, some grapes, melon, etc.) Some low sugar cereal with some skim milk. A piece of whole wheat toast with some butter or a piece of cheese or a poached egg.
That will hold you until lunch, has a variety of nutrients, and isn't too full of empty calories. Oh, and you can mix it up during the week to keep from getting bored.
A serving size of raw Almonds Fiber One Bars (in moderation) Activia Light yogurt Fruit on the go like an apple or banana A serving size of pretzels Cheerios in a baggy (I do this often) Carnation Instant Breakfast (You mix the flavor powder in a glass of milk its so yummy!) A slice of cheese
