Costco sells excellent egg bites. I eat breakfast on my bowling mornings and they keep me full until lunch time. Just a minute in the microwave. What brand are they? Are they frozen?

My 13 year old doesn’t like breakfast and isn’t a fan of eggs (will eat small amounts), but has to eat before he goes to practice/s&c/workout in the summer. What he stomaches best is toast with peanut butter and sliced bananas. Sometimes he just does PB&J if there aren’t bananas, but usually the PB and bananas is his “go to.” Once in a while he eats some additional fruit and/or adds a handful of honey roasted nuts.
He will also sometimes do a KIND bar with it/instead. Those are pretty filling. He finds if he eats both, he isn’t hungry after practice (lunch time), and it throws his day off too much.
Another thing he throws in once in awhile is just some sort of cereal and microwave bacon. Not really “healthy” but filling. We try to balance his carbs with some sort of protein. That is our main goal before workouts for sure…during the school year, it gets harder because they have to get up so early. Working on that still.
Good luck!

I don’t know the brand off the top of my head. They are egg/cheese/Turkey sausage. They sell them in the refrigerated section, but I take them out of the box and put them straight in the freezer - they last months in there (but they aren’t usually around more than a month). They come in individually wrapped 2-packs and each box has 5 2-packs (for a total of 10 bites).

I like breakfast burritos for work. I've frozen them but I find that they just don't reheat as well. I'm back in the office now a couple of days a week and so I've been making enough eggs and mix ins for a few days time and then each morning I take out a small portion, heat it up in the microwave and throw it in a tortilla and roll it up. Better than frozen IMO but very quick and easy. Heat them wrapped in a paper towel. I forgot that step!

I really like to make overnight oats. They are easy and yummy. Take about 1/2 cup of oats, pour milk over it till creamy. I like to sweeten with brown sugar. And add some fruit like blueberries, etc. I like to put them in small cute mason jars. And there is a lot of variety. You can add nuts, raisins, dried cranberries. You can mix it with yogurt instead of milk or with milk. YOu could add chia seeds. You can mix it with nut butters. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey, etc. Lots of ways to personalize it to her tastes.

My daughter would make breakfast sandwiches. We have a microwave egg cooker form Nordic Ware. She'd toast a bagel or bread and put veggie cream cheese on it with the egg. She'd sometimes make frozen waffles.

My son wasn't a breakfast eater. Ever, really. And no matter how many things I offered, he just wasn't hungry in the mornings. I ended up finding a recipe for a protein shake in one of the cancer pamphlets that I had (He was diagnosed with cancer when he was 9 years old.) so I modified it a little bit to make it more to his liking. I would give him one as he was getting ready in the morning in a large disposable cup with a lid and a straw so that he could drink it as he got ready and then take any leftover in the car with him. Using single-use paper products was hard for me, but making sure he was getting breakfast gave me reason enough to do it. He loved them and drank one for breakfast every morning until he moved out of the house at 19. And even then, when he was going to be driving by my house in the mornings, he would call me and ask me if he could stop by and grab a shake on his way to work.
One morning he told me he had a friend in the car with him and asked for two shakes. No problem! When he got here, they were not quite finished and I had the ingredients still out on the kitchen table. He asked where the ice cream was. He seriously thought that I had been giving him ice cream for breakfast all those years? He flipped out when he saw what was actually in his morning shake - a mixture of frozen fruits, powders, yogurt, and multiple nutritional supplements.
I usually made chocolate/peanut butter flavored, but he would occasionally ask for a fruit based flavor instead so I would use frozen strawberries or whatever I had on hand. I can't remember all of the ingredients now, but the original recipe gave reasons for each one to be included in the diet of a person going through cancer treatment. The friend tasted his and loved it. I made these in my Vitamix so they were super creamy. I guess you would say ice cream consistency. Although my son was disappointed to learn he wasn't getting any ice cream, he continued to stop by to pick one up for several more years. When he got his own apartment in another city, I bought him a Vitamix, the ingredients, and the recipe to start making them for himself.

If she wants easy and doesn't mind cold. I really like Perfect Bars as a small meal replacement. Lots of protein (PB), sweet (honey) and easy to eat and transport. I buy them at Costco in a box but I have seen individual bars in the fridge section at grocer stores. There are several flavor varieties including Almond Butter.

I used to buy 36 eggs and tortillas and 2lb of sausage and freeze them for breakfast tortillas. Freeze.

Our oldest wasn't a big breakfast eater, but he would eat hard boiled eggs, bananas, peanut butter/jelly sandwiches, etc. Stuff that was grab and go in the morning because sleep was more important than fixing a meal. Also, Carnation Instant breakfast worked pretty well to keep him filled. He would also take a snack to eat at school, granola bar, pop tart, etc. because some teachers were lenient and let them eat in class.
