You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I commute to work every day, and can't seem to stomach food before I leave the house. I just have a coffee and go. So I'm after some ideas for healthy breakfasts I can have when I get to work. We don't have a huge amount of facilities and the canteen is always full of fried foods...
So far I'm getting by on wholemeal bagels with peanut butter and bananas - but need some other ideas.

You can chomp through them through the course of the morning. Like I'm doing at the moment 😀
I work in Newcastle so I'm never more than 7 metres from a Greggs. They're much like rats.

You've access to fried food and you're asking for alternatives?
Freak!
Fried food is partly the reason for my current mid-life midriff.

I just do scrambled eggs in the microwave.
@binners - you have a definite theme going on with your diet 😀
Toast with banana, cinnamon and honey? Well nice
Porridge oats and skimmed milk, 2 mins in microwave.
I'm a big fan of scrambled eggs in the microwave, with smoked salmon if I'm flush or just toast if it's getting later in the month.
prezet - you'd never think it to look at me....

We have a microwave at work. The Civil Service is sponsored by Oat So Simple from about 7am till 9.30!
I would politely refer you to yesterday's thread du jour....

Sliced maltloaf and honey.
I pre-boil eggs for the week, leaving them in their shells in the fridge Just peel one and down the hatch. Less smelly than doing scrambled eggs in the microwave.
Also avocados are a good one for me - last for ages just sat on your desk.
Porridge with added berries / nuts
brown toast with mashed avacado on top, ideally with some tabasco or lime juice topped off with an egg
Boil eggs at home, take them with you.
Some sort of muesli
Well you wouldn't want to eat the vile things would you? 😀Also avocados are a good one for me - last for ages just sat on your desk.
Toast with Jam and a Yoghurt for me. Though I have it at home, all reasonably portable. Depends if you have a problem with fridge scavengers I suppose.
It's wort looking at the ingredients in Oat So Simple - it's not just oats.
We have a couple of 800w microwaves at work, and all the milk you can drink, so I take in 50gm porrage oats in a small container, put in double the volume of milk, nuke it for 2x 90 seconds and add whatever's in the office fruit basket.
Lots of people here do scrambled egg in the microwave - it leaves eggy residue on all the bowls. 🙁
Avocado on toast with a wee bit of black pepper seems to be fashionable at the mo, too.
My current favourite is MOMA instant porridge sachets from Waitrose, Then using a snaffled cup from the Costa machine, a disposable spoon and a Jar of St Dalfour jam in the fridge and I'm away with a 'zero added sugar' breakfast with no washing up. :))

I reckon he's wearing sky kit under that t-shirt
Porridge oats and skimmed milk, 2 mins in microwave.
This, but with a small spoon of peanut butter and a shake of cinnamon in a tub, use work milk and microwave, easy everyday breakfast for me at the moment. Sit with the laptop in the kitchen eating it as I start my day.
Binners get over to Aldi

Porridge oats and skimmed milk, 2 mins in microwave.
Why skimmed milk ?
Bagel with microwaved egg.
Microwave anything if you've pre cooked it is fairly acceptable.
In my book anything eaten after excercise is healthy.
Why skimmed milk ?
Because I'm a fatty!
Snickers* and a pint of milk saw me through ten years. I'm still here.
They were called 'Marathon' back then, sounds healthier in a sporty way.

I'm amazed the milk lasted that long.
Egg Master will solve all your breakfast conundrums 🙂
Try overnight oats instead of porridge. Saves cooking at work and keeps me out the canteen

The longer you keep it - the longer it keeps 8)

Today I had a bag of chili tortilla chips and a tub of Philly cheese with cracked black pepper.
Porridge oats and hot water into a thermos before you set off, by the time you get there it'll be cooked.
Chuck in my blender - banana, grapes, strawberries, frozen berries, any other fruit laying about, 1/4 to 1/2 cup of porridge oats, an actimel or similar and top up with water. Drink when I get into work, I use one of thoses sports blenders that uses the bottleas the blending vessel.
Does me until lunchtime.

The OP asked for healthy breakfast ideas not how to vomit instantly ideas
Plain fried noddle or meehoon rice noddle with Hakka stuff tofu ... 😀

Buy a cheap kettle.
Put 2 eggs in it, fill with water, boil and leave for 7 minutes.
Voila. Perfectly boiled eggs.

Proper Greek yogurt, peanut butter, rolled oats or muesli, banana, honey & nuts. Only thing which keeps me full too.
Asda do a lovely bag of dried fruit grenola mix for £1,match that up with there £1 for 6 low fat yogurt
Its yummy and covers enough till dinner with a fruit snack mid morning.
