Right so you're in a hurry and having trouble fitting in breakfast and there are not leftovers from last night!!!
Whilst 'real' fresh food is preferred when you're short of time protein powder can be a good substitute to ensure you get the 'full 'til lunch' ingredient at brekkie.
Try these ideas:
Protein smoothie - add a scoop of the powder to a blender along with fruit, nut butter (if you can eat it) and even cacao nibs. Add almond, rice or your choice of dairy substitute and blend. More liquid can be added if needed.
Protein pancakes - Blend 2 eggs, 2 bananas and a scoop of powder with enough water to make a thick batter. Heat a heavy based saucepan and add a little coconut oil to the pan. Add tablespoons of the batter to the hot oil and cook for about 1 min or until browned on base, flip over and cook on other side for one minute. Don't over cook as they can be dry. Spread with butter or nut butter and enjoy warm or pack for later.
On final point...you can get protein powder in lots of places. Some is whey (milk protein) based, others come from vegan friendly sources. Cheap is not necessarily good - for flavour or quality.
