I workout first thing in the morning too...my pre-workout shake looks like:

1.5 scoops protein powder
1 banana
40g Quaker rolled oats (not instant...the slow-cook kind)
10oz water

Approx: 42g Protein, 60g Carb, and 5g Fat = 450 calories

Just throw it all in a blender and whip it up good. I usually do it the night before and then throw it in the fridge so the oats get mushy overnight.

EDIT: Just drink it as soon as you get up...by the time you get to the gym, warm-up, and hit the weights...the protein and carbs from the banana will be available for energy. Carbs from the oats will be available for the later stages of your workout.
