Keep it simple. That’s the only way. It really doesn’t take much time once you familiarise yourself with the routine and learn to schedule time. If you build it up in your head it’ll feel like an overwhelming gargantuan task. It really doesn’t have to be that way. I usually have some combination of toast/eggs/beans or cereal/granola. Beans on toast takes less than 5 minutes to make. I’ve learned that ideally I would like 20-30 minutes to eat breakfast & wash up in the morning, so I set my alarm accordingly. You have to make time, but it’s worth it. I used to skip breakfast but now it motivates me to get out of bed. Just make it yours, eat your favourite food, and keep it super super simple.

After I do my other daily tasks, I plug in an audiobook and set to work. Depending on what I eat for the day, I can get it down to a simple system of eggs, toast, and fruit. Along with hot tea, and a glass of water. I feel fulled, and prepared to begin my other tasks. Also, it’s a sweet time to spend with Momma. After C starts work. It’s become one of my favorite times of the day. 🥰

I make simple dishes that do not take much time or energy, such as scrambled eggs, grits or oatmeal, yogurt, toast, and coffee.

I sit on the weekend and google and youtube 7 breakfast dishes , and add them in my notes. Then I write all the 7 breakfast according to the days I want to have them. You can also have a white board in kitchen to list them. I personally write in my journal

I try to get everything ready for my morning routine the night before. I pick my outfit, make my lunch, pack my bag, make sure my coat, keys and shoes are by the door, and i pick what i’m going to eat for breakfast. Doing this not only saves time but it makes it much easier to do because you don’t have to think about what to wear or eat because you planned it all the night before.

I just adjust my time well from the time I wake up so I will have time to prepare my breakfast relaxingly. And I plan my breakfast and prepare it for the week prior the day making it.

I always have eggs at home and it’s is quick and easy to make scrambled eggs in the morning and have with some Spanish jamon, tomatoes and fresh spinach. Takes no time at all!

Instead of watching Netflix 4 hours before going to bed at midnight, I’ve started to fall asleep earlier, which gave me enough time to prepare a healthy breakfast and enjoy eating it in peace. The habit of preparing a bottle of water before going to bed already puts my mindset on “self care”. Which eliminated also falling asleep next to playing tv. I sleep better and have more energy in the morning. Plus the glass of water after waking up “opens” my stomach for breakfast.

I have just simplified my breakfast routines. For the most part every single day I make a smoothie that consist of mangoes blueberries banana, peanut butter, protein powder, spinach or kale and almond milk. It’s tasty it’s fast and it kickstarts my day. And then on Sundays I give myself a slower morning and cook a nice breakfast like bacon eggs and toast store pancakes or whatever makes you happy.

I just have yoghurt with muesli, or I fry an egg and have it with bread. I always have a quick/small breakfast as I never have time and aren’t usually hungry in the morning
