It works for me anyway

If your working out 30 minutes after waking up, make sure it's a shake. Something like FF/SF Yogurt and /or Skim milk , rolled oats, +/- some fruit, +/- some water with some whey is excellent, it'll give you all you need. Since this is first thing in the morning and your lifting so close to waking up you need something that will digest quickly to give your body the energy it's going to need.
Now if You wait 45 minutes .. if you want you can eat a solid meal .. although it really isn't enough time to be digested to give your body the fuel you'll need to lift. Espically since it's first thing in the morning.
If you really wanted a solid meal here, I'd be more opted to wait around one hour before lifting ..

I would have what tom said - a shake with fruit, FF/SF yoghurt, whey and some oats (preferably quick oats) would be perfect.

This is what I have pre-training (in addition to some creatine). I also soak the oats overnight in the yoghurt to allow them to soften - as this also speeds digestion.
