I need a very quick breakfast in the morning thats going to keep me both healthy and full. Any ideas?!
If you put your oats, water and salt in a pot before going to bed or when you are cooking dinner of the night time the water sits and soaks into the oats overnight making them nice and soft and ready to go in the morning.
When you wake up go and put the oven element on a quite low heat while you have a shower. Voila! Breakfast is ready by the time you hit the kitchen to brew up a coffee.
If you don't like porridge, as someone else already said try weetabix or fruit 'n' fibre with a yoghurt or fruit to go.
You can also put cereal into a plate and cover with cling film /gladwrap the night before-add milk and you are set.
It's not time that's a problem it's technique :-)
What about brewing up a batch of blueberry bran muffins in the weekends? Cool them. Cling film them and into the freezer. Then pull out the night before you want it or if you forget-take it to work with you and by the time morning tea comes around it will be thawed. (if you need a bran muffin recipe post back to me I have a very easy (no fail) and delicious one the only "special item" they require for making them is muffin tins. Hand mixing is fine )
Hope any of this helps.
Answers: Porridge doesn't have to be time consuming or require a microwave.

Porridge. Very quick and healthy, and you can add fruit etc. to it. Will keep you going. Otherwise how about a banana and probiotic drink?
Porridge
McDonald's Toxic Waste Burrito.
Porridge - 3 minutes in the microwave
Special K with semi skimmed milk
Weetabix with fresh berries.............
Porridge mixed with honey.Tea and a round of toast.
Some sort of cereal
cereal is quick & easy, and you can get bran flakes or something. Healthy & filling.
Oatmeal with some fresh fruit. Orange juice to drink - I dilute mine with water, as I find it too sweet.
A small amount of protein is meant to be good but often takes longer to prepare. If you have time then eat an egg. If you are rushed them have a small piece of cheese.
Edit: People have been eating oatmeal/Porridge long before microwaves were here. Just put the ingredients in a small pan on the stove top put it on a low heat and stir occasionally. Whilst it's cooking, make the rest of your breakfast. It doesn't take long at all.
Oatmeal is a healthy and filling breakfast.
a good sh*g, it always keeps me going thru the day
and it covers my days exercise
Oatmeal, milk, eggs, cheese, olives, wheat bread, butter
Buy some breakfast smoothies......
weet a bix or cornflakes seem to do me and im 16st and 6ft 2 seems to keep me going on the building sites untill about 12.30
Try some breakfast bars and fruit
Its hard for me to eat in the morning right when i wake up so i usually grab a banana or apple and a Special K cereal bar.
i usually have one of those "nutrional shakes" that comes in a can. Healthier than nothing at all, maybe not as filling as food. oatmeal is a good choice if you have time.
oatmeal and a bannana you can boil water on stove it only takes a minute to boil1/2 cup of water on the stove top
cornflakes with cold milk and fresh fruit, you cant beat it !
try getting your fat bottom out of bed earlier so you have time to make some think that YOU will like !!!
Wholemeal toast then. Sunflower or olive oil marge.
But really oats are the best. Microwaves are as cheap as ￡30 in the UK.
It is a question of your health as your question states.
What price do you put on your health?
weetabix
cereal and milk!!!!!!
Oats are a complex carbohydrate so they keep you filled up for longer. If you won't have porridge then muesli is your best bet. There are lots of different varieties out there, some with more oats than others.
toast bacon grits
I always have a sandwich, granary bread with whatever filling I fancy, I try to keep cheese and mayo to a minimum but I find a sandwich filled with lean chicken and salad always fills me up.
Try a granola bar with a banana or apple, and about 8 ounces of orange juice. Then hit your day on the run.
The oats will digest over a longer period, and you won't get the hunger crave before dinner. Don't like them? There is nothing more nutritional and easier than a peanut-butter and jelly sanwich on whole grain bread. Make certain the peanut butter is not made with hydrogenated oils--they turn to fat--and your body needs some natural oils found in peanuts.
Again, read http://revelado.org/clever-diet.htm, as it identifies foods that kill tissue.

Everyday for months I have between 5 and 8 eggs, blended with sweetener and coffee milk.
Fast, cheap and semi-heathy breakfast.
You could just get into the habit of making something at night to eat in the morning.
A bowl (soup size)....with, special K, muesli, half a banana, 5 almonds, 5 walnut halves and 3 other fruits...kiwi and....
Then add a no fat, no sugar bio yoghurt...and mix.
...its the best :)
yogurt and whole grain toast
whole grain waffles (eggo makes a version) with apples
boiled egg (you can make in advance and peel) english muffin and oj.
any of those should help. whole grains are good for filling up on and apples are high in fiber and help you stay full longer and they give you energy!
EDIT:
Seriously? Five bad ratings? Who is rating this and what the HECK do YOU eat?... Everything I listed above is a legitimate answer. WTF.
Home made fruit smoothie - buy a blender or juicer, prepare fruit night before or buy frozen fruit. or Banana yoghurt honey and milk - nutritious and filling
