Make all your stuff ready in boxes or jars so you can choose your daily breakfast from a big selection, add one more food each three day to your collection in the shelfs or refrigerator.
Just do breakfast and nothing else. I just have serial and toasts so it’s already pretty fast(you can start the coffee brew while waiting for the toasts and have your coffee on the go if necessary)
Sometimes I make a smoothie the night before and leave it in the fridge for the morning. The texture holds up surprisingly well! Another breakfast favorite is oatmeal. I mash a banana (cuts out the need for added sugar), then mix it with oats and milk. Leave it in the fridge overnight, then just heat it up in the microwave in the morning!
If I know I’ll be in a hurry, I make my breakfast mix the evening prior. I mix Skyr yoghurt (high protein, low sugar) with protein powder, chia seeds, a bit of low sugar granola, cocoa powder and defrosted berries in a cup and put it in the fridge. I have all ingredients in Tupper ware boxes all in one place so it only takes a couple of minutes every eve. And then I can just grab it in the morning.
Have an idea of what you will have for breakfast the night before and check your kitchen to make sure everything you need is there to make it. Certain breakfasts can be slightly meal prepped, such as cooking up veggies the night before or boiling a couple eggs. That way in the morning all that needs to be done is throw it all together
I usually pre-prep what I want to eat for breakfast before my fasting period ends. Alternatively, I’d go for something more simple like oats and honey.
If you don’t have enough time or inspiration when you wake up, you can always prepare your breakfast from the night before. Search healthy ideas on the internet. For example, you can put some fruits/vegetables & yoghurt in a bowl and you only have to blend them in the morning and drink a healthy and energising smoothie. There are plenty recipes on the internet but you can be spontaneous and try different things every time. Find what you like the most and what gives you the strength you need for the rest of your day. You can also write your idea on a piece of paper in order to just go and prepare it without even thinking much about it in the morning. Or you can prepare meals like sandwiches or toasts that you’ll only have to heat up. The same goes for drinks. Cut the fruits and put them on the fridge or put water and coffee on your machine before you sleep. Your morning drink will be one button away.
Make it ahead of time so all you have to do is microwave it. Also, there’s no shame in eating instant oats instead of old fashioned, just make sure it’s the plain one so you can add fruit, maple syrup, etc as you please (the flavored ones that come in packets are full of added sugars and junk plus they are way less cost effective).
Prepare as much the night before as possible. Set out bowls/plates/cups/flatware, and any food that doesn’t need refrigeration. Do any prep work that you can. Make it as easy in yourself in the morning as possible.
I have porridge with alpro (nuts, seeds, berries) literally anything you like then microwave it about 5 mins, you could always mix it the day before
