You can find lactose free alternative milk. One brand is called Lactaid and it tastes exactly the same an normal milk.

Try oat milk - I love serial with that stuff. Simple toast with peanut butter it’s amazing. Granola with soya yogurt is fantastic. But the king of them all is real porridge oats done the proper way with water. Add some maple syrup or honey and you are god to go

Oat milk imo is the closest tasting to milk.

However, I'd use this opportunity to buy some frozen fruits and some protein powder to make smoothies.

Takes me 2 minutes to make the smoothies.

I’ve been enjoying overnight oats over the last few months. It’s super easy to make and you can meal prep it the night before.

I usually make it with oat milk, honey, and peanut butter topped with granola for some extra texture.

Welcome to the club of lactose intolerance! If, like me, you really like dairy, there is a very easy way to cheat the system... (Seriously, how would anyone survive without cheese?)

You can get lactase tablets. Those are little pills full of lactase, which is the protein that breaks down lactose into digestible simple sugars. All you have to do is take a lactase tablet when you eat anything with lactose, and you can continue to live your life like before.

Lactose intolerance is not black and white either. You may have some tolerance left, which may be enough to eat your cereal with milk, if that is the inly lactose you have during the day. Your tolerance can also fluctuate over time. For example, the first time I had an issue with lactose it only lasted a few weeks.

Microwave oatmeal with a little salt, cinnamon, nuts, and peanut butter. Feel free to add thawed frozen berries to spice it up.

Just get lactose-free milk. I'm lactose intolerant af and I have a cappuccino every morning made with lactose-free milk.

Try it with oatmilk. It’s so delicious!

I especially love the barista oat milk with cereal. It’s a little more expensive, but delicious.

Almond milk is so wonderful as well.

You could try different brands of oatmilk. It might need some getting used to, but some brands actually taste pretty close to cowmilk. I favor a brand called no milk (available at lidl at least in Germany), which has some sort of fat added I think (it`s got 3.5 percent fat like milk). You might be able to find an equivalent over in the States.

Eggs and whatever bread is available. I'm also a uni student and this is usually my go-to when I'm running late.

edit: Toss in a fruit.

Fruit or avocado on toast or egg on toast. Rice milk is delicious with cereal too.

Also some dairy free yogurt eg soy based with some fruit and nuts or seeds

Ratio keto yogurt is lactose-free and high protein. I eat one of those with toast.

I usually do a bagel and cream cheese for breakfast. Sometimes on the weekends I'll do chocolate chip pancakes. Yeah, real exciting I know.

Muesli plus oat milk.

Cheapest way is Trader Joe’s since they sell both relatively cheaply and their oat milk is pretty good. But their muesli is a bit lacking so I prefer Seitenbacher’s muesli (order direct from them). Can toss in some more dried fruits from TJ’s too.

It’s more filling and nutritious than just cornflakes.

I've been on an oatmeal kick for a while. I just make (good quality) instant oats so all it takes to prepare them is a bowl or mug, and the boiling water I've already got in the kettle for tea.

I don't usually like sweet breakfasts though and most oatmeal mixing suggestions (and ALL refrigerator oat recipes) out there are full of sugar. Lately I've been making a mix in that's 2 parts thai sweet chili sauce and 1 part low sodium soy sauce.

Toasted bagel with peanut butter.

But when you have time for it, try adding scrambled eggs. It sounds insane, but the eggs and peanut butter compliment one another in the same way that fried chicken and waffles make a surprisingly good combo.

Well I thought your username said sexual pop tarts so I recommend pop tarts for breakfast.

Peanut butter and banana wrapped in a soft tortilla!

Next time you're in the cereal aisle, check out the protein bar options. These are a good grab and go option for breakfast, no planning or cooking required. I always keep some on hand. Most of the ones I like are some version of peanut butter, but I also like the Nature Valley oatmeal bars in either cinnamon or banana bread.

Beans on toast. Super filling!

My wife and I, while not Indian, fell in love with instant upma when an Indian grocery moved into the neighbourhood.

But yeah, I get where you're coming from when you want something super low maintenance. As others are recommending, oat milk is pretty good on cereal. I only wish I could by it (or any alt-milk for that matter) by the gallon instead of in those cardboard cartons.

Hey have you tried Jamaican patties? You say you're a student and those little yellow bombs got me through university. You can usually buy them in bulk and they're a surprisingly cheap source of protein. And they tend to come in different levels of spiciness to suit your preference. They nuke in like a minute so perfect for pulling an all-nighter. I lived in Toronto at the time and it was the go-to snack for students at U of T.

A sandwich with boiled egg and Swedish caviar (can be bought from IKEA overseas). Loved by every sane Swede

Sweet: Instant oatmeal - can add fruit, cinnamon, honey Fruit salad Smoothie - can hide a few greens in there, thicken with peanut butter, protein powder Frozen waffles - can add fruit

Savory: Toast/bagels - can use butter, peanut/nut butter, make a sandwich with deli meats Omelette - many options, cooks quickly Frozen hashbrowns and peppers and onions - can season, add spice

Oatmeal is a good one.

Cook two to three eggs, scrambled in the pan with a little bit of olive oil, add a few grinds of pepper and a pinch of powdered onion halfway thru cooking. Takes <6min, tastes good, it's my go-to quickie breakfast that's healthy. If you have more time and want to get fancy, Sautee some diced bell peppers and grape tomatoes and toss them in too

Silk soy milk is addictive

English muffins are good and you can put a variety of different toppings on them. I'm partial to peanut butter and jelly.
