Any fresh fruit and peanut butter combo will do! Breakfast doesn’t have to be huge as long as it contains what you need to start the day!
I started waking up 30 mins before my usual time and it’s not that you have to cook everyday. If I didn’t wake up earlier than usual I’d mix some fruits with yogurt or drink a protein shake or eat a diet full fiber cornflakes, but if am really early I cook eggs sometimes boiled and sometimes scrambled etc...
Make breakfast ahead such as one night before oat meal. Mix oat meal, nuts and dry fruit in a bowl and cover with yogurt. Put in fridge over night and eat it with some maple syrup
Toast and eggs is easy and healthy. Try to always put a vegtable or fruit on your toast: peanutbutter banana, tomato/cucumber (creame) cheese
Once I get up instead of getting dressed I start my boiled eggs that way they’re done once I’m dressed. While I’m preparing the rest of breakfast I pack a light morning snack. Yogurt and blueberries is my favorite. I also pack nuts and other healthy snacks to take throughout the day.
If you aren’t adept in the kitchen try some toast and a healthy beverage. The slow release carbohydrates will carry you through the day.
The thing that has helped me most is food prep. I am okay eating the same things everyday for a week and then changing it up. If you like eggs, or oatmeal both of those things are great for meal prep. They have delicious egg soufflé muffins and over night oat recipes. All very easy to cook and will be waiting for you each morning. I spend part of my weekend cooking all my food for the week and it has relieved so much stress and helped me make healthy choices because the choice is already made.
Been learning how to do this myself since I have been in a behavioral health class that my hospital plan has available since July this year. Basically I have 250 calories of protein, 150 calories of vegetable and 50 calories of fat. Is amazing how much you can get to eat when you actually PLAN it throughly and healthy (LOL)
A great breakfast doesn’t have to be a difficult one. I like to stick to steel cut oats and some fruit. It’s not too heavy and just enough energy to get through a morning workout. Find something that you like and can be made without too much effort or something you can set up the night before. The easier it is for you in the morning the easier it will be to stick with it! Stick with it, you got this!
It does not have to be a big breakfast. You could just grab a peice of fruit to start your day. Personally, go for apples/bananas/oranges, they help me feel great in the morning.
