Are there any balanced breakfast ideas with a short prep time, because I’m really busy in the mornings!

Make ahead items like egg bites are easy to bake up for the week. In the mornings, an egg bite takes 30 seconds or less to heat in a microwave. Make ahead mason jars of steel cut oats can be topped with fruit and nuts for a grab and go breakfast. Avocado on multigrain toast with a handful of greens and a splash of olive oil and balsamic is pretty quick to throw together.

Chia pudding! You can prepare it in the evening. You just need to mix 1/4 cup of chia seeds and 1 cup almond milk in the evening. If you want it to be more filling you can add oats. Put it in the fridge and the next morning it till be nice and creamy. For toppings you can buy frozen raspberries and boil them (in case there’s any bacteria left). You will get sort of a jam that you can add to the chia pudding in the morning. Other nice toppings can be cinnamon, honey, fresh fruits, nuts.

I think avocado and toast with some tomatos, cheese/ham is a great one and easy. Also a couple of fried eggs on top of spinach/tomato on a slice of bread. Usually takes me like 10 mins tops to prepare and less to eat since i am a fast eater.

Make a big batch of overnight oats on Sundays. Then, pack each individual portion in a to-go container. If you run out of time in the morning, take your breakfast to go. You can also make individual omelettes in a muffin tin. Make a big batch on Sunday and then microwave individual portions each morning.

Eggs don’t actually take that long to cook. If you put an egg into water to boil you can be getting on with other things while it’s cooking. 3 mins once the water starts to boil and it’s ready. Alternatively an omelette takes a little longer but if you prepare what you want in it before bed it’ll save some time

Take English Muffins or Bageles, slice them in half, lay them in a pan, put your favorite cheese on them, toast them in your broiler until golden brown. While they are toasting scramble a couple of eggs in avocado oil and slice an avocado, put it together like a breakfast sandwich and you’re off.

I usually make a batch of egg muffins on the weekend. It’s quick and easy to make and sets me up with breakfast for half the week. Overnight oats are also quick and easy. I add chia seeds for extra protein.

A smoothie is a good shout because it’s quick to prepare and you drink it, so it’s super quick. Today I had grapefruit, banana, nuts and yoghurt.
