I make it a priority. Also, I really like to eat, so I look forward to it. :D It is bright side of my day. :) Preparing food for myself every morning reminded me how much I like preparing food for me and for others. It also gives me feeling of taking care of myself.
I try to make it quick and simple: Boil an egg on low heat while I’m getting ready. By the time I’m ready, they are too! Toast two slices of bread while cracking the egg shell. I make a sandwich and it can be eaten in 10 minutes. I take my coffee in a travel mug, and grab a banana or apple for the road.
I wake up eaelier. Make sure that my breakfast is simple and helathy, that it doesn’t take much time for preparation. And I eat it slowly without rushing.
A good breakfast can take no time at all! I’m rushing most mornings so I’ll grab nuts and fruit that I have ready to go. Make snack bags of nuts and dried cranberries and have plenty of fresh fruit in the fridge! My quick go to fruits are bananas, honeycrisp apples, and kiwis! Preparation is key. Get it all ready the night before so you can grab and go!
I prepare my breakfast the night before by putting 8oz of yogurt in Tupperware with a tsp of flaked almonds, tsp of chia seed, 1/3 cup dried oats, and a handful of berries. I pop it in the fridge then take it out in the morning and take it with me. I get to work 5 minutes early and just eat it in the car! It takes 2 minutes of prep the day before! It’s a small amount of effort and planning to keep you fueled until lunch! (: Good luck.<3
Every night I decide the content of my breakfast and ensure that it contains all the ingredients my body will need to be energised and healthy through out the day
If I drink water last and first thing my head is clearer when I wake up and it’s easier to persuade myself to get up a bit earlier to make time for breakfast. Also - soak the porridge oats/ oatmeal in water the night before - ready faster and tastes much better!
I make sure I wake up 2 to 3 hours before I have to go to work and I get ready first. Then I make coffee and that prompts me into making a better breakfast. I try to stay away from my phone so I can focus on doing what I need to do to have more energy and less fatigue later on.
I usually try to decide what I want for breakfast the night before, and set whatever food items together in my kitchen. For example if I’m going to have eggs with oatmeal, I’ll leave a small plate and bowl together on the counter next to the oatmeal container with a note for 'eggs' in the bowl. I also get up an extra half hour earlier than I normally would so I don’t feel rushed to get through my morning routine.
It’s not a simple thing. I always wake up two hours before I have to go anywhere so I have some time to prepare and relax without rushing myself.
