Cereal: Mix Strawberry Greek yogurt, banana, rice cereal or rice crispies. Yogurt has more protein than milk and doesn't get it as soggy, banana adds volume, cereal provides vitamins and minerals and a satisfying crunch.
Jam : Strawberry jam is fantastic on shortbread cookies. Mixing blueberry, blackberry, and strawberry jam tastes better than any of the three on their own. Preserves and jam are the best, jelly is trash.
Oatmeal: Packet oatmeal is loaded with junk, and is never the right amount for however hungry I am. Instead, get a big container of quick oats and put it in a storage container with a flip top. Add however much you want, add some water until it’s somewhat sloshy, but not excessively sloshy, and smash the 1 minute button on your microwave. Add cinnamon, raisins, craisins, maple syrup, etc.
Not Quite an Omelet: Scramble 2 or more eggs, then throw on some Mexican cheese and a few tablespoons of salsa.
Pancakes: I love pancakes, but waffles are easier. For frozen pancakes, I go with De Waffelbakkers or Swedish pancakes from Ikea, which are surprisingly lower in sugar and more protein than typical frozen pancakes. IHOP pancakes taste bad to me.
Popcorn: Throw some popcorn kernels in a microwavable silicone popper (see Kitchen Stuff ) and when they're done, add in a few handfuls of Cheezits or Goldfish crackers for a snack that is a lot healthier than cheezy crackers and a lot tastier than plain popcorn.
Yogurt: Buy a big container of plain yogurt, and mix in fruit jam. You should control portion size and fruit levels, not some factory. Especially useful with Greek yogurt, which is more protein and no sugar than regular yogurt. This is also much cheaper than the tiny yogurts, and makes a lot less waste.
