Preferably something that has little to no preparation required.
Oatmeal and yoghurt.
You can switch it up with fruits, nuts, syrups (like maple) etc.My goto is:
Oatmeal, plain yoghurt (3.5%) or greek (10%), passion fruit, apple, maple syrup (if I like it sweet).This will certainly fill you, has lots of vitamins and depending on how much and what you do is easy to eat.
Oatmeal. Pour in bowl with water/milk and nuke it for 3-4 min. Or you can do the whole overnight oats thing and have it ready with no prep in the morning.
There’s a reason centuries of peasants survived on gruel…
And if you don’t like the texture of cooked oatmeal, you can also just pour water/milk over rolled oats and eat it as is
Oatmeal (from the big container), banana, water. 3m in the microwave.
It really is the best answer. It’s pretty tasty, fast, and filling
Overnight oats which you can prepare the night before. Soak some oats in milk and keep it in the fridge for at least 2 hours for the oats to soak up all the liquids. Toss in your favourite toppings, like freshly chopped fruits, or even some chocolate, and it’s ready to eat.
Wait you mean you don’t cook the oats? Oats (the old fashioned 30 minute kind) cook nicely for me in 4 minutes in an instant pot, but no cooking sounds even better.
Cooking is entirely optional.
You can cook or keep it cold.
I do it cold with yoghurt.Cooking is not necessary for overnight oats. I used steel cut myself, but the texture of these oats prepared this way may be chewier than you expect or are used to though, if you have always been heat-cooking them.
Just look up overnight oats and there are plenty of recipes and suggestions, some even using yogurt instead of milk. Here’s one from Martha Stewart for starters,

ah yes the cock and balls breakfast
Fiber & protein with a little salt & sugar in there for funsies.
Yes, I also lost a lot of weight since adding eggs on my breakfast. I’m surprised most answers here are for cereal and peanut butter but no eggs.
Eggs are great, but they’re not a fast/quick item to me. You can boil them in advance to have them on hand, but sometimes peeling can be annoying.
Oh, depends how you have them. I typically fry them using cooking spray, or soft boil them. Fried they take me 2 minutes. I don’t scramble or make them into omelettes ever for breakfast, others in my family who do take at least 15 minutes which feels like an eternity to me.
As I’ve become older the old “unhealthy” meals of bacon and eggs were not fully bad way to start your day in the sense of protein over carbs and sugars.
The latter leaves one hungry and snacking all day with no way to ever really get full. As much as bacon isn’t healthy for us the protein start is better for blood sugars than oatmeal or cereals to break fast.

Well, I’m a morning oatmeal eater and my doctor, who is way too into nutrition ,is happy with it, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We go over diet & blood tests every year.
I’m going to give that a try, that sounds like a great breakfast now that eggs are back to their normal price
Banana. If still hungry then apple. If still hungry then banana. Repeat.
Fruits are good for you. Sugar in the morning and they hydrate you aswell. Might be a good idea to have a sandwich or something as a snack before lunch.
Oatmeal. You can customize it to what you need and your tastes. It just needs liquid for the oats and whatever additions you want to do. I use chia seeds and flax seeds for protein & fiber, and add frozen fruit and vanilla soy milk. Microwave and enjoy.
Peanut butter, dried fruit, honey, fresh fruit, etc. are all good choices
Oatmeal with dried cranberries, honey or brown sugar, with hot water poured over
I have little meal prepped oatmeal jars I set up. Everything is pre-measured just add a cup of water and pour in the jar, boil and you’re done. They have oats, brewers yeast, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sometimes whey protein (that one changes how you have to hear it though to prevent weird clumping). Throw a fried egg on top of I have time, or a scoop of cream cheese to mix things up
- Overnight oats
- Yogurt with frozen fruit and granola (parfait)
- Granola/protein bar of choice
- Hard boiled eggs
- Peanut butter toast
I’m only up to #3 and already full.
I like Soylent and related products.
I commute via boat. My standard is instant oatmeal w/ dried fruit in a mason jar with lid and a coozie.
I buy the oatmeal and dried fruit in bulk and prep a weeks worth at a time. The whole process takes less than 5 mins. While I’m getting ready for work I boil water and then pour it in just before leaving. By the time I load up on the boat it’s cool enough to eat.
A serving each of full fat Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and chocolate protein powder all mixed up. It forms a mousse and is yummy. Takes a minute to make and a couple minutes to eat, lots of protein and fat so it keeps you going way longer than it should. I mix the PB into the yogurt first then mix in the protein, that helps it mix better.
I’m stealing this. I need to change up my breakfast routine, I’ve been making the same breakfast for 3 years. Cheesy chicken patty tortilla melt thing 🤷♂️
Switching the hot breakfast for a cold one is a bold move!
We’ll see how it plays out lol
Is there an equivalent to eatcheapandhealthy here?
Let’s starting posting there and get some action happening. The latest post was 2 months ago, and the majority are 4 months old.
I need some cheap healthy food!
Thanks!

Peanut butter and jelly. If you want to be a culinary genius, toast the bread.
And add some honey to it
A bottle of Soylent contains 400 calories. It contains exactly 20% of each RDA-recognized vitamin, about 30 grams of carbs, a healthy balance of fats, and protein. Preparation is shaking the bottle for about three seconds, and peeling off a little foil seal.
Used to be you couldn’t drink it fast without getting digestion issues but now they’ve added enzymes to help digest the oats, so you can chug that bottle without issue.
A little more expensive than groceries you prepare, but cheaper than any buyable prepared breakfast you’d get from a coffee shop, diner, convenience store, or fast food joint.
I haven’t tried Soylent. Does it actually make you feel full?
Yup. Just don’t try to have a 100% Soylent diet, that’s when I was always feeling hungry. This was like 10 years ago when I bought the powder in bulk.
The bottles you can buy at a grocery store today are much better. Downing a bottle of Soylent is unparalleled in terms of time, cost, amd nutrition.
Is it vegan?
I also drink these. I like the chocolate flavor.
I like that there’s a variety. I keep chocolate, strawberry, and banana on hand
Fil (fermented/soured milk) and musli in my opinion cannot be beaten. Get bowl, open fridge to get fil, pour fil into bowl, get muesli, add that and you are done. Pretty unprocessed, plenty of fiber and (depending on variety) lots of good bacteria. Cleaning up is also quick, water and a few swirls with the brush. Making coffee takes longer than chomping down on a bowl of fil and muesli.
My go to is plain Greek yogurt and a handful of raspberries or strawberries. And throw in some oats or granola to change it up
