(<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0271531725000946?via%3Dihub\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">) Here are some quick breakfast options that show there\u2019s more to breakfast than what\u2019s inside the cereal box:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-fast-breakfast-alternatives-to-dry-cereal\">4 Fast Breakfast Alternatives to Dry Cereal<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-overnight-oats\">1. OVERNIGHT OATS<\/h3>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t already, it\u2019s time to revisit this new classic. These <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myfitnesspal.com\/protein-packed-overnight-oats\/\">Protein-Packed Overnight Oats<\/a> mix oats, plain yogurt, fruit, and a few other ingredients and are simply refrigerated overnight for a healthy breakfast on-the-go. Swap out your favorite milk, fruit and yogurt for your own twist on this recipe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. MICROWAVE EGGS<\/h3>\n<p>Spray the inside of a ramekin or small mason jar with cooking spray. Crack two eggs and add a splash of milk, a sprinkle of salt and pepper and stir with a fork to combine. Cover and bring with you to work. When you get to work, remove the lid and pop it into the office microwave for 30-second intervals until you have warm, perfectly cooked, scrambled eggs. Pair this with a piece of fruit for a balanced meal.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.myfitnesspal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shutterstock_2451903139-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Avocado toast with salmon, arugula and sesame seeds on rye bread, served on white plate\" class=\"wp-image-64716 size-full\" \/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-might-also-like\">You might also like<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-8-tasty-ways-to-get-30g-of-protein-for-breakfast-recipes-included\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myfitnesspal.com\/30-grams-protein-breakfast\/\"><strong>8 Tasty Ways to Get 30g of Protein for Breakfast (Recipes Included!)<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. COTTAGE CHEESE<\/h3>\n<p>Yogurt is the go-to dairy staple for mornings, but like cereal, plain yogurt gets dull and many flavored yogurts contain added sugars. Instead try low-fat <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myfitnesspal.com\/cottage-cheese-benefits\/\">cottage cheese<\/a> which is packed with protein and no added sweeteners and is the perfect foundation for banana slices, berries and a little granola.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. PROTEIN SHAKE<\/h3>\n<p>A protein shake is an easy, no-cook breakfast that comes together quickly and has all the nutrients to keep you satisfied until lunch. This <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myfitnesspal.com\/green-mango-kale-smoothie\/\">Green Mango Kale Protein Shake<\/a> has only 6 ingredients with 42g of protein to start your day with a bang.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Originally published January 2018, updated February 2026<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myfitnesspal.com\/4-fast-breakfast-alternatives-dry-cereal\/\">4 Fast Breakfast Alternatives to Dry Cereal<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myfitnesspal.com\">MyFitnessPal Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.myfitnesspal.com\/4-fast-breakfast-alternatives-dry-cereal\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are those people who breeze into work in the morning and casually mention how they read the paper over a long and leisurely breakfast after a morning jog.
