Prepare something the night before.. when you’re cooking dinner, you can crisp some Bacon and store in the fridge for the next day to just warm it up and add it to some scrambled eggs and some fresh tomatoes. You can peel off a carrot and cut it in slices in advance so it’s ready to eat. Buy some berries, they last in the fridge for a couple of days, so every morning you just have to make your bowl of yogurt, add the berries, some cereals, chocolates bits of you want and you are set to go. Buy a bag of roasted almonds and just pick as many as you please in the morning with the rest of your meal.. you can have nuts on the go as well if you commute. I also buy berries, 4 types, cut them all, add a banana, pack all these fruits in 6-7 ikeas plastic food bags, 1 per every day of the week, and freeze them. So in the morning I take one out, Chuck it in the blender, add coconut milk or yogurt and whatever else I please and in a couple of minutes I got an energising smoothie/frozen yogurt I can drink while getting ready for the day or take it with me.
I like a protein smoothie. Protein powder (not the weight gain type) with almond milk and frozen berries or frozen banana. Sometimes I add some instant coffee. tastes great and keeps me satisfied until lunch.
There are several ways to make sure this happens: A) Plan your breakfasts - morning meals are the most important ones to plan ahead because people usually have less time and it’s going to set you up for the day! So think ahead: how much time do you have to prepare a meal on workdays? 10 minutes? 5? Maybe no time at all? Work with what you have. Let’s say you only have 5 minutes in this example. B) Prepare: once you’ve planned ahead, you know you only have 5 minutes to prepare. That means you will need to do the bulk of your preparation ahead of time, and you have 5 minutes to assemble and/or heat up your food. Some options for a 5 minute prep time: egg muffins (basically omelettes in the shape of a muffin for portion control and easy to carry around); fruit & nut butter; open faced smoked fish sandwich; boiled eggs. C) Prepare again: preparation is so important! Healthier options usually need some cooking time before they’re ready, so make sure you always have some elements in your fridge or pantry that are ready to eat if your schedule gets ahead of you: a bunch of boiled eggs, homemade sauces and seasonings, roasted vegetables etc. If you run out of time one day, you’ll have this ready and no excuse to pick up a drive thru fast food breakfast!
I try to stick to easy to grab items, or things that I can get ready the night before. Like nuts, dried fruits, protein bars, individual yogurts or drinkable kefir. Packing peanut butter in a container the night before so I can take with me, then slicing up an apple right before I leave. Preparing a protein shake or a fruit and veggie smoothie the night before too.
This question has bothered me too. I suggest either waking up earlier or making a light breakfast like Müsli or maybe just an omelette.
Prep your oatmeal the night before by doing this: 1/2 cup liquid like dairy milk or almond, coconut milk 1/2 cup oats 1/2 cup yoghurt (optional) 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional but highly recommended!) 1/2 banana smashed (optional) Blend this all together the night before and leave in fridge over night. Your healthy breakfast is ready for you the next morning. Top with your favorite toppings to make even better, for example cinnamon, fresh fruit or berries
Buy your fruits every week from the grocery store, or order them online. Next day in the morning have a banans or an apple while heading to work, you can also add a slice of turkey to it. If you’re not a huge fan of fruits, you can have a bag of almonds, pumpkin seeds, and walnuts.
Make it quick & simple, How? It’s easy, just preper to wake up earlier than before make the alarm wake you before so you can make your great breakfast perfectly and eat fruits and any another healthy products would be just fine.
I do not make breakfast before I leave. I make breakfast at work. I keep it simple so that it is easy to prepare and consume.
Well, I too have limited time before work. So, energy bars are always a good option for me! However, overnight oats is a good choice. Or portion out smoothie ingredients the night before that way you just pop them in the blender and go! Hope this helps!
