Good quick snack to eat/drink in the morning before school?

[jobberd]

Every morning of the summer I would have a breakfast, which helped me throughout the rest of the day. Now that school has started again, I have no time to make myself anything more complicated then cereal, and im partially lactose intolerant So what are some meals/drinks (such as shakes) that would give me a healthy start to the day, and wouldnt take too much time to make/eat?
edit: Also, should the food be high in protein? carbohydrates?

Slim Fast bars are great.

Grapes or a salad (you can prepare the salad the night before).

 

[ohtwell]

Nutri-grain bars, yogurt, or pop-tarts.

[PsychoAndy]

Pop tarts, leftover pizza, nutrigrain bars, and granola might be good for you. Fruit would work too.

Afraid not The same can be said for the "cereal" or "breakfast" bars out there. They're low in fiber, full of sugar, and don't have enough protein to build a miniscule fiber of muscle

Slim Fast products are a joke. Ever take a look at the pre-made ready-to-drink shakes often sold in vending machines and the like? Sure they are low-fat, but that isn't the problem. They're crammed full of sugar.

Y'all want a real breakfast? Try a serving of lean chicken breast, a couple strips of turkey bacon, and a slice of whole wheat bread (real whole wheat, I might add) with a tablespoon of natural peanut butter (not skippy or jif). You'll end up with about the same amount of calories as a bowl of sugar-filled breakfast cereal or a cereal bar but you're getting far more nutritional value out of those calories. Food for thought
