What's fast for breakfast?

Every morning I rush out my dorm room without a minute to spare in my race to class. It seems no matter how early I get up I am always almost late.  My uncureable lateness doesn’t mesh well with breakfast.  Even though as it reads it should be a break before you begin your day to eat really fast.

But what are your options?  Cereal and milk is far too messy. And bacon and eggs take far too long to cook.

Since those just won’t work in my lifestlye I have found some other just as tasty options.

A)    Nutrigrain Bars- These delicious tiny bars come in all sorts of flavors from apple cinnamon to strawberry. They are a little small and leave you hankering for more, but are still delicious for a morning snack. Also, nutrigrain bars are easy on the stomach for those of us who have sensitive tummys.

B)     Stoneyfield Yogurt’s yogurt drinks- I am not a fan of yogurt. The texture just weirds me out, but these drinks are a tad bit thinner than regular yogurt. They come in all the familiar flavors that yogurt does like strawberry, peach, and berry. Some of these drinks can be meal supplements which is perfect for a breakfast.

C)    Carnation Instant Breakfast- A long lost favorite of my childhood, this drink is chocolately goodness. Well at least that was the only flavor I had as a child. Now it comes in French Vanilla, Strawberry Sensation, and Dark Chocolate.  Essentially it is also a meal supplement. The website boasts that the drink, which comes in powder form or pre-made bottles, has half your daily value of calcium, 25% of your daily protien, and numerous vitamins and minerals.

D)    Cereal- I should not under estimate the efficiency of cereal in a plastic bag. You have so much variety to choose from at the store that if you buy a few bags of cereal you will never tire of your breakfast selection. The only down side to this option is that you have to provide your own plastic baggy, which as I have learned this semester are hard to come by when you don’t go to the grocery store every week.

There are your options do what you will with them. I, myself am going to go buy some Carnation Instant Breakfasts and have one tomorrow.
