Is this decent for an on-the-go breakfast?

[Jake LaMotta]

I wake up every morning at 5:15 AM to go to work. I don't have time to make a big breakfast. Would this be suitable?: 1 Quaker Oats granola bar (as seen here: **broken link removed** ) and 1 greek yogurt (as seen here: 5.3oz Oikos Strawberry Organic Greek Yogurt ).

I realize it's not the best but is this a decent breakfast to have every morning before I go to work? BTW, I have tried protein bars (Zero Impact bars) and they're too dry and chalky. And I've tried ON's Oats and Whey shake but only having a shake didn't fill me up.

It's better than Mcdonalds, but there's plenty of better choices my friend (JMO). How pressed for time are you ?

Why dont you use instant oats and add egg or egg whites, mix it and stick it in the microwave. It wont even take a minute!

What are your stats and goals?

Why not make a good breakfast the night before? Plan ahead = saved time and better results.

I agree with the comment about a shake. Throw your some protein powder, oats, and peanut butter in a blender the night before. Wake up and toss in some milk and frozen fruit. Blend it up. Pour it in a big paper/styrofoam cup, and drink it on the way to work.

Step one.....get a magic bullet or the generic version which I have. It costs about half. That thing is a life saver. In the off-season I used to take a cup of Coach's Oats and two and one half scoops of isolate and then blend with water for about 5 seconds. It tastes great and takes about two mins if that to make. If you are still hungry, take a banana with you to eat as well.

If it were me, I would just wake up earlier. If your goal is to build muscle then neglecting breakfast is a huge mistake as it is with any of your meals but that one is a must. Depending on how important your goals are would depend on how important that extra 20 mins of sleep would be. Thats just my opinion.

1/4 water
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup liquid egg whites
1/2 banana
3-4 strawberries
2 Large Heaping Scoop of Protein Powder

Its equals about protein 40-50gm , carbs 25gm, fats 8gm
