My most common breakfast is a bagel. I like garlic bagels the most. And fortunately they're easy to get here in NYC.
My second most common breakfast is cereal.
On the road, it can vary a lot. It just depends what's available, what's on the schedule, what other people I'm with are doing for breakfast, etc.
When I'm home, I also have a smoothie every morning. That's a berry mixture, 0% fat Greek yogurt, plant-based protein powder, with a bit of 100% cranberry juice and water mixed in, too.
Away from home, I don't have smoothies very often because when you get them from restaurants they often have sugar mixed in, it's not 100% juice etc. So I'll typically just drink orange juice instead (from a bottle, so I know it's pure orange juice).
I also drink green tea every morning. When I'm traveling, I take a small electric kettle with me--just to warm up water, and I pack enough green tea and Rooibos, which I also drink every day, to last the trip. I do that because sometimes you can't find one or the other--especially Rooibos, and I like Twinings or Trader Joe's the most (though Bigelow is okay--and I do like their Constant Comment Green a lot), so I'd rather just take it with me to make sure I have it. I also pack instant coffee, but I only use that if decent coffee is otherwise not easily available and/or I want coffee in my hotel room.
Bananas I like, by the way, but I can't eat them. I'm allergic to them, or at least I'm allergic to something that is or can be in them in varying quantities--which I say because sometimes I don't have an allergic reaction to them, and when I do, it's not always the same intensity. It doesn't get me horribly sick to eat them, but I get a bit of a "lump in my throat," a "scratchy tongue" and it can upset my stomach/digestive tract a bit, too, so I avoid them. There are a few other things I'm similarly allergic to, including celery, and I have a lactose intolerance that seems to come and go (so that when I'm on the road, I've got to be careful to not drink dairy milk or cream, but I drink them at home sometimes and sometimes they don't go right through me . . . no idea why my body would be inconsistent about that, but it is).
