It depends on the day. If I’m gonna have more time in the morning, I like to do it then so everything is as fresh as possible. But if I’m gonna feel rushed, I will make it ahead of time. I also like to bulk prep certain foods like quinoa and chicken to assembly meals from instead of individually made meal prep containers. That way I can use the different pre-made ingredients to make meals I actually want to eat that day.
A bit of both, really. I usually have poached or boiled eggs with rice cakes and some cheese. So I’ll boil/poach the eggs at the beginning of the week, then just assemble everything each morning. It’s quick, takes two minutes.
I assemble what is needed to prepare the breakfast, such as plates, cutlery, cups of water/coffee, and the stove and pans to cook eggs or baked beans. All with fruit on the side.
Six of one, half a dozen the other. I’m working on re-engineering my routines and am seeking apps that might help in this regard.
I prefer making meals in the morning. The fresher the meal the healthier option it is. Its okay if you dont have any time, just grab a fruit and some nuts and off you go. But if you have enough time in the morning I suggest you to make a intagram breakfast, it’ll make you feel good. Or make a whole bunch of granola bars and grab on the morning, although i would prefer homemade.
I’m really liberal about what I consider a meal, since I didn’t used to eat breakfast at all and am generally not hungry in the morning. Sometimes it’s just a banana, sometimes it’s oatmeal. I don’t make stuff the night before, but I do try to imagine what I’m going to eat the next day, as a sort of reminder the night before so I don’t waste time digging around.
I make my meals ahead of time, usually on the weekend, so that in the morning all I have to do is heat it up. It saves a lot of time in the morning and makes it easier. On the weekends I’ll make large batches of whatever meal and then put portions in the freezer. That way I can mix it up from day to day and feel good about what I’m eating.
I make my whole grain toast with almond butter in the morning, but if we are going to have eggs I boil them ahead of time.
Usually in the morning. For me, the key to not skipping breakfast is to eat something I really want, even if it is leftovers from last night’s dinner! Once I figure that out, I set aside a few minutes to enjoy. When I think I don’t have time I tell myself “if I make time for (work, client, school,even my car!), I can make time for myself.
I tend to cook my breakfast fresh every morning but if time is limited then some overnight oats, prepped the night before, are a great option and tasty too (see Joe Wicks recipes for inspiration).
