If you're not one to have time in the morning to create a whole egg frittata and side of potatoes, you're probably not alone. It's hard to find time to create a hearty, balanced breakfast that requires much cooking or the need to sit down and eat it while it's hot. A solution? Whip up some breakfasts that are portable , so you can take them with you on your morning commute to work, without the hassle. And, be sure to include lots of nutrients that will energize your morning, with protein being a major one. Why?

Yogurt is one of the best foods you can eat for a healthy snack or breakfast, and as it has the same texture as many "comfort" foods, such as cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise, it works as a fantastic substitute to lighten up your meals .

So, if there's a way you could get those greens and veggies in bright and early, without feeling as though you're digging into a real leafy salad, you'd probably want to get on board. The good news?

If you're looking for a hearty, protein-rich breakfast that you can cook with fresh ingredients and eat warm on the spot, but without all the hassle of cookware and plates, you can still whip up a satisfying dish that requires washing only one pan after use. That's not so bad, right? Plus, as you can fit quite a lot in a pan, skillet, or wok, you can even make a few servings at once.

You can't go wrong with eggs for breakfast, but you might not know of any interesting ways to take basic up a notch. Eggs are super easy to whip up in many different forms , and if in a sandwich, they can be portable, too. (For when you're running late to work.) And, the benefits are huge first thing in the morning. Eggs add a great source of protein, and digest slowly so that you can maintain the blood glucose, says Dr.
