Breakfast Go-Tos: Let's Have 'Em

[DOOFUS]

What are your reliables for a nutritious, cyclist-friendly breakfast that are easily and quickly prepared? Let's hear em.

My recent addiction:

1 cup slow cooking oats
1 cup blueberries
1 to 1.5 cups water (depends on the brand of oats and the texture you like)

Put in microwave on high for 3min

While the oats and berries are microwaving, chop 1 apple, 1 banana, measure 1/4 cup whole milk, 1 tbsb peanut butter, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 1/4 to 1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger; then puree all together.

Fold smoothie mixture into oats and blueberries. Microwave for 1 more minute on high.

Total prep and cook time is 7-8 minutes. ~750 calories.

Brother D. Moving this where it will get more eyeballs. Great thread by the by.

Porridge works very well for me before the rides.

3/4 cup of HC (the ones that don't melt!) rolled oats, touch of cinnamon, dash of milk.
Microwave for 1min - stir (may add 1 banana) -microwave for 1min.
Stir and add a few spoon of yogurt.

Then go and smash it!

chobani yogurt with granola, and a banana

[zetroc]

Granola + milk + berries or banana slices. The hippie store near me has really good granola.

Bobs Red Mill steel cut oats in a programmable Zojirushi rice cooker. Set the timer the night before--wake up to oaty goodness.

Granola with milk and fruit most days. Sometimes I really just want a huge bowl of cheerios, though.

[David Tollefson]

Jeez... Just pass me the Cinnamon Toast Crunch and some milk, and I'm good to go. My pantry is the envy of every 5th grader.

That is a really good idea.

1 banana
2 handfuls kale
milk and ice
blender for 2 mins

[dvarekamp]

scramble 2 eggs, sautee a bunch of kale, eat with salsa or guacamole. 15 minutes all told.

[Will Neide]

Banana and stinger waffles on the bike. Maybe a bowl of cereal if I feel motivated to "make" something. Sometimes toast with peanut butter.

This is pre-work, early bird, breakfast. Post ride is a whole different ball game.

I will confess to downing 2 of these before 7AM long rides.

Chris Traeger-approved junk food in disguise.

The night before, drop

1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup greek yogurt
2/3 cup water
1 tbsp flaxmeal
1 pinch salt

into a mason jar. The next morning, add fruit, nuts, brown sugar (or maple syrup) or whatever else, and take to-go.

Try fresh ground almond butter and honey and prepare to lose your mind.*

*Maybe an exaggeration, but it's an awesome combo. My go to afternoon/post-ride/post-race/anytime snack.

Nothing will strip the lining off the roof of your mouth like a whole box of frootloops in one sitting.....

Before a <30mi morning ride - nothing.

Upon return, I fry one egg over easy freckled with some hot sauce, pour some chocolate almond milk over bowl of Marshmallow Mateys/Honey Buzzers/Chocolate Dyno Bites (whatever's in the pantry), then wash it down with the entire contents of a 6-cup (i.e. one cup) moka pot.

Off days' breakfast is a handful of Costco Kirkland chocolate chips and a couple clementines.
