1/2 cup dry oatmeal
1 cup applesauce
1/3 cup fresh blueberries
1 egg & 2 egg whites
Prepare oatmeal by using the instructions on the container. Add applesauce and blueberries and mix together.
Hard boiled eggs are the easiest for me to do in advance, but you can prepare eggs anyway you like.
This is one of my all-time favorite breakfasts -- 2 of my favorite things (applesauce and blueberries) with 2 others (oatmeal and eggs) to make it healthy. And, it's easy.

This is my way of organizing healthy eating. This is a collection of recipes and meal plans I've tried before, but none of them worked independently, so I have created my own. This is what works for us. Diets don't work, and strict meal plans with no flexibility don't work either. To me, this is realistic and even tastes good.
You're not going to find delicious homemade brownies here, but you will find healthy foods that really do taste good. I'm about as picky as they come, and these recipes stand up to the test. I am a firm believer in the reward system, so you'll find rewards here, just modified rewards.

RULES
1. Eat 5 meals a day -- breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner. (You can add another snack before bed if you're hungry.) The trick is to not get hungry, so try to eat about every 3 hours.
2. Drink as much water as you can. I hate having a certain number to reach, but carry water with you and make an effort to drink more than you usually do.
3. No snacking between the 5 meals. If you find you're getting hungry, try drinking water or slighty modifying meals to include a little more (i.e., an additional egg in the morning, an extra slice of lunch meat, etc.)
4. Exercise. Just do something -- go for a walk or jog, do jumping jacks, chase your kids, play tennis (or just pretend to play), mow the lawn, run up and down your apartment stairs, etc.
5. Avoid sugar. I know... it's lame, but it's important.
