One trick I’ve found is to get yogurt that comes in a tube. A quick hit of protein that doesn’t take any time at all. 😊
I’m often in a hurry most mornings! I focus more on feeding my kids and preparing for my work day, so my breakfast is usually light or skipped; sometimes pretty normal.
I felt the same way until I started meal prepping. I now make breakfast sandwiches and freeze that for those days that I’m running behind, so all i have to fo is pop them in the microwave in the morning. There are so many quick, healthy options that you can prep the night before. Plain Greek yogurt with granola and a fruit topping is a great option. Or one of my favorites is a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Just leave off the bread if you’re trying not to eat so much of it. Really any protein and fruit combination is a great, quick start to the day. You can find so many ideas online of some meals to prep ahead of time to make mornings easier.
Overnight oats! Mix it up the night before then store in a jar in the fridge - it’s ready in the morning either to eat at home or carry to eat on the commute or in work. There are loads of variations on the recipes on the internet 🤗
I have trouble with breakfast as well. I try to do a few things so I dont miss out on "the most important meal of the day", as some like to refer to it. First, I tried to see where in my morning commute I was doing pretty menial things like listening to music or answering emails. For me, I realized it would be ideal to eat breakfast on my car ride to work and in my first hour of work. Then I decided what I can make that is satisfying but easy. For me, its fruit and two pb&j sandwiches.
If I’m on a time crunch I grab a granola bar, usually a couple! I live somewhere where I’m lucky enough to have great fruit most of the time so I usually eat some fruit as well for example a peach or an apple, something quick that doesn’t need to be cut of pitted or peeled!
I try to keep it simple by having easy things to prep like hardboiled eggs and an avocado or kefir/greek yogurt with nuts, chia seeds, fresh berries, and a little honey. The last is easy to put in a jar and take it with you.
For a sweet breakfast - I’m Italian and we eat sweet for breakfast- a glass of cold milk and 4 or 5 biscuits, if you’d like to eat more add a fruit. For a salty breakfast eggs, which you can boil the previous evening
I use oatmeal flakes (really cheap ones). Pour some boiling water over it and let it steam for about 5 minutes. Add some jam or berries - whatever you have in your fridge or larder - and eat! Takes all of 2 minutes to prepare, and you can let it steam and take a shower in the meantime. Slow carbohydrates and oatmeal goodness done quick and easy.
Overnight oats 1 cup Oats 1 cup frozen berries 1 cup milk (I use coconut or almond) Optional: Vanilla Essence Chia Seeds Prepare in used peanut butter jar Quick, easy, delicious! Takes some planning to prepare the night before but in the morning just grab and go!
