I have very limited time in the morning, as I need to leave for work before 6 am. My usual breakfast is a quick smoothie to go! I often prepare the night before by cutting whatever fruits or vegetables I’ll need the next morning and combining most ingredients in the container. In the morning I just add liquids, mix and go!
I plan meals, organize shopping and handle most meal prep for the week on Sundays. This includes breakfast items such as hard boiled eggs, fruit, smoothie ingredients, etc. This means that once I am ready for breakfast, all I have to do is pull our meals items and eat.
I put my clothes ready the night before, I sometimes put my tea or coffee ready. I also sometimes bath or shower the night before to not have to rush
The night before I think what will be my breakfast in the morning. On the next day, I start by what takes more time and while that is doing somehow by itself I prep the other stuff.
Sometimes I shower the night before, choose my clothes, and make my lunch ahead of time. There are also oatmeal recipes you can make overnight in the fridge.
Tidy your room and pack your bag for the next day. Prepare your clothes the day before and decide what you’ll eat for breakfast.
* Make sure I have easy things to eat for breakfast. Cereal, milk, fruit, bread, peanut butter, etc. Some protein bars are good too. * Overnight steel cut oats—just like putting a glass of water by your bed. Will be ready when you wake up—just need to eat it.
Standardise your breakfast. Eat the same thing on all weekdays. Buy groceries for it on the weekend. I have 3 boiled egg whites, a cup of tea and one fruit for breakfast. It’s really simple and nourishing.
I make a schedule the night before to ensure I hit all of my morning rituals. If I need to iron I will do that the night before. For the most part, I am committed to waking up in enough time to complete all of morning rituals with time to spare in the event of something happening. I take this approach because I feel it makes me commit and stay on task. It’s like I’m forced to do it this way.
I buy things for my breakfast on the weekend, and try to buy breakfast for the whole week. I don’t buy things with more than a couple of ingredients, except for when I occasionally have salsa with something, in the morning. My breakfast will usually involve some meat that I grilled, broiled, or sautéed the night before, or smoked salmon; fresh fruit and/or avocado; nuts or a nut butter with no added sugar. I love dipping strawberries and bananas into sunflower seed spread :-). The smoked salmon or smoked fish is great for the days when I was not able to do a quick cook the night before, and I can also throw in a tomato with it, for breakfast. Eggs are great, but I only like hard-boiled eggs, so I rotate them in a couple of times a week.
