I don’t usually have a lot in my cupboards. Do you have any suggestions for a very simple, easy to make breakfast that doesn’t require many ingredients?
Absolutely! A simple and nutritious breakfast can be made with just a few ingredients. Consider oatmeal topped with a banana or yogurt with a sprinkle of nuts. You could also make a smoothie with frozen fruit and a splash of milk or water. These options are easy to prepare and require minimal ingredients while providing the energy you need to start your day. Establishing a morning routine with a great breakfast can set a positive tone for your day and help you build lasting healthy habits.
I’d say yogurt with fruit and granola is good, quick, and doesn’t take much, what I’ll usually have is a big container of strawberry yogurt in my fridge and nature valley bars that I crush up and sometime I put blueberries or banana in there or just in general with it, if you get store brand things and you eat it consistently enough so that nothing goes bad it’s a good, fast, cheap breakfast, on top of that there’s a Dairy, grain, fruit/vegetable and (depending on your ingredients) a protein, so it’s also good for you but it’s filling enough so you feel good about what you’re eating and you’re ready for your day!
I usually just use milk, oatmeal a banana, half an apple and peanut butter or protein powder to make a quick drink. It’s been my go-to for a long time. Everything is easy to substitute or skip if I forget to buy it someday but they are also things that are easy to remember to buy and keep at home most of the time
