I am trying to build up a list of yummy, healthy and quick breakfast ideas. This morning I had Date and Oat slice for breakfast with some sunflower seeds. It is (the slice) kept in the fridge and is a nice cool breakfast and healthy snack as well.
Coffee with double cream.

Dates are high in sugar. Granola is healthy e.g. with a probiotic yogurt.

Both high in carbs.

Granola has fats, carbohydrates and proteins (e.g. nuts). Carbohydrates give you energy - needed to start the day.
I tend to start the day with poached organic egg on sourdough toast with baby plum tomatoes. Eggs are an excellent source of protein.

Anything you eat gives you energy - measured in K calories. I keep reading that carbohydrates are necessary and I keep asking for the studies. There is a huge amount of evidence that carbohydrates are not necessary. Many hunter-gatherer peoples eat very few - some eat none.

The experience of eating is not just about what is necessary! There is also the enjoyment factor.
Fine. But:

'Healthy snack' does not therefore follow.

Neither does your suggestion of coffee and cream! 
It's OK ... I know you were joking!

I wasn't, actually. It's my daily breakfast.

.... ?? ... that's a breakfast idea? Breakfast is food!
It's how I break my night's fast most days. If I'm having brunch I have more of course. Eggs, bacon etc.
I guess Ounce1967 either isn't in the UK or got up very early!:) 5.23am and s/he's already had breakfast.
Fridge oats! I love fridge oats. Get a mason jar and half fill it with oats. Pour in milk of your choice, I like hemp milk or coconut milk. Then add whatever you want, blueberries, bananas, flax seed, chia seeds, raspberries, vanilla essence, honey, syrup. I mix mine up at that point so all the flavours mush together, but some people wait till they open it. Put the lid on the jar, bung it in the fridge overnight, eat for breakfast. They do taste great, but I also like it because if I'm running late I can just grab the jar out the fridge and eat it when I get to work. They keep for 3 days too so you can make 3 at a time. 🙂
I like gruel with honey. I CBA to prepare or eat anything substantial. They say breakfast like a king, have lunch like a prince and eat dinner like a pauper. I tend to eat a big dinner at 7pm and another dinner at 9.30pm which probably explains why I am morbidly obese.
