I just make an omelette with fresh veggies. I just ensure I bought these and have these on hand. It only then takes me keys than 10 minutes to make breakfast.

Soak oats overnight or have tofu crumbled up and ready to cook. Use the day you are off to get curious about what you have the opportunity to eat. If the budget is a bit tight, get creative in the kitchen and start slicin' and dicin' into containers for the week!

I found that starting small is best. I am not great at feeding myself so keeping items that I can quickly grab is key: yogurt, fruits, mini Kind bars, and as a treat I keep some almond biscotti so I don’t reach for something more damaging. Baby steps and forgiveness. Having something to eat before noon is success for me. Having water first thing has been helpful as it starts your metabolism and the need to feed your body increases.

I like to have a bite or two of leftovers, or a slice of cheese for breakfast - something really fast to eat right away. I’m more likely to cook a full breakfast at lunchtime.

Plan what you are going to eat the night before or prep your breakfast for the whole week. That is how you will stay on track with eating a healthy breakfast. When you’re starving or don’t know what your going to eat, you tend to just grab anything to fill that hunger feeling. Knowing and having a plan will help you succeed.

Try things like over night oats, or do a cooked breakfast/porridge in the slow cooker and use a timer so it comes on while you sleep and is ready when you get up. Having your dishes set ready helps too, so have your cereal bowl and spoon ready to go.

I have make a omellete in the morning with a bread toast and eat a handful of mixed nuts in the morning with glass of juice.

I think of my breakfast when I shop. I always have fruit, eggs in the fridge. Also, sometimes thinking about your breakfast the night before helps. If I’m gonna have a smoothie I get the fruit ready.

I would hard boil several eggs and have them peeled and ready to eat every morning. I personally like instant oatmeal. It’s quick, easy and does the job.

I’ve found the best way to meal prep breakfast is with large batches that can be easily broken up into single servings. Blueberry oatmeal bake with chia seeds makes 9 servings and refrigerates great. Elie Krieger’s breakfast burritos make a big batch and freeze amazingly well. Breakfast cookies are great on the run, and also freeze really well. If I’m in the mood for breakfast bowls, I’ll roast a big pan of veggies and separate them into storage containers. In the morning, I’ll poach a couple eggs in the microwave (takes like 3 minutes total) and top my veggies with guac and the eggs, or enchilada sauce for a mexi kick, or tzatziki for a medi bowl. Really versatile.
