I eat 12-grain toast most morning but I have little time and can’t seem to get myself to have more. I work overnight shifts so my "morning" routine is at 9 pm, and I try to get as much sleep as possible because sleeping during the day is hard. Any suggestions on grab-and-go, eat while in the car healthy breakfasts? (I have a tomato allergy)

I think an apple is an amazing grab n' go snack. You just open a drawer and wash it and you can crunch on it when you feel comfortable. If you do adopt the apples, make sure you find a good place to store them that IS NOT the fridge. A cold apple is really a pain to eat.

Hey there. If tomatoes are not an option, you can take pre-washed celery, cucumbers, nuts, raisins, carrots. I’m allergic to most nuts, so I only take cashews, mixing 50/50 raw and fried. This set is rich in minerals, proteins, vitamins. One minus is that this food is low-calorie, so you are made to have a lot of it. For lunch I take home-cooked food in a container. Take care.

How about a breakfast pita? With raisins in it. Toast it, bring it with you in the car if it’s too much to eat before leaving. Barely crumbs. Good luck!

It is good that you are grabbing some whole grains in the morning, that will definitely give you the carbohydrates that you need to burn throughout the day. It’d be good to add some protein, maybe some peanut butter, lean turkey deli meat, or almond butter. Itd be good to have an apple or banana or grapes to join the protein and grains. Also, if you have a little extra time the night or so before, mix up some overnight oatmeal or an omelette (to go on top of toast) or a breakfast burrito that you’d be able to pop in the microwave. It would be ready in the same amount of time it takes to make toast. (If you like, it’d be good to add some spinach and peppers or other veggies to the omelette or breakfast burrito).

I often boil eggs and keep them in the refrigerator so I can grab them for my breakfast when I’m in a hurry. I can eat them and drive if necessary or mash them quickly with a little mayo or avocado and put on toast.

I’ve been enjoying a couple of boiled eggs then a banana. You can boil a bunch of eggs up in advance and store them in the fridge so you can just grab and go!

Sure, your grab and breakfast can be boiled eggs, tuna packets, nuts and orange juice. Lots of protein to jumpstart your day

I try to grab synergy drinks out of Whole Foods along with a mixture of almonds, apples, and a banana. It gives me what I need until lunch.

For on the go breakfasts I like: high protein “Boost” drinks, bananas, Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage breakfast sandwiches, boiled eggs, sugar snap peas, and Think Thin Vanilla Creme Protein Bars.

Overnight Oats! High protein, delicious and variable. There’s tonnes of recipes online and they’re very quick to whip up and keep on the fridge for about 3-5 days. Personal favourite.
