If I am in a pinch like that and need to grab something out, I’ll go to Starbucks and get their protein breakfast tray or their egg bites.
Something that I eat to get me through a afternoon or at least hold me till I can get some actual food is apples and peanut butter. Now it may not seem like much but if you stick with the right amount of it you’ll get protein, fiber, minerals, and vitamins all in the same package. I love peanut butter so this holds me really well. I hope this helps but try eating some fruits if your allergic to peanuts.
To be honest, I had the same problem till I found Waffles. I put them in toaster. One day with Nutella, one day with cream, one day with jam and etc. So this can be an option with milk. You can put honey in your milk if you warm it a bit. You can also get protein bars for afterwards, somewhere in afternoon, when you get hungry. I hope that helps. Wish you best luck! ( don’t forget fruits, ALWAYS EAT FRUITS )
Frozen fruit is a life saver. You can also prepare breakfast burritos that freeze really well. I usually have instant oatmeal with frozen fruit and nuts. Throw the fruit in with the liquid before you microwave so it gets defrosted and squishy.
I suggest prepping food early it’s fairly easy to do and makes sure you are eating healthy. For example make overnight oats or cut up furits ready to go, smoothie prep there are so many ideas online
Yogurt with raisins and low sugar jam, Apple, scrambled eggs. These ingredients are good for 1 week or more and I stock my kitchen on the weekends :)
Keep some nut butters at home (hopefully you’re not allergic to nuts). Then you can always pick up a banana or some apples from somewhere on your way home. I loved a banana, sometimes two, with a spoonfull of peanut butter! Yum!
I have quit eating breakfast food in quotes but when I was eating grits eggs and toast to start my day off on the right foot so to speak I really enjoyed that first most special meal of the day. Dry goods are the best foods to have on hand if you’re wanting to fix meals over time from food stocks. I suggest either hot cereals like quick or slow cooking grits/oatmeal. And to change over to dry cereals like your dry flake or bran cereals gives you a variety. Dried fruit on your cereals hightens flavor like your dried apricots, raisins, etc. Canned fruits are also stored easily over time. You might also want to shop for these dry food items at a discount grocery store like Sam’s or Costco to save unnecessary shopping trips and have your food items accessible over time. Your freezable perishable items like frozen straws berries and blueberries can also be used over time and if you might want protein with your hot cereals you can use frozen veggie meats such as your tofu products as well as your canned veggie meats that can be bought at Walmart and Kroger and many other stores as well.
I spend a lot of time traveling with work and when we get home there’s not usually a lot of food in the house. I make overnight oats because I just need to make sure I get milk and fruit on my way home. 1 part quick rolled oats, 1 part milk and I add cinnamon, banana and maple syrup to taste.
A best solution would be an oatmeal that is just up to 10’ to cook and some eggs that are able to survive in a fridge for quite a long.
