A protein shake is always a good option that will give you energy without feeling too full. Vegetable juices are also a good option to help increase hydration and boost your digestion (try celery with watermelon, yummy!)

Bullet proof coffee! Plenty of good fat to keep you going and takes no time to fix. It usually lasts me until after lunch if I am so inclined. Not too

Ack isn’t that the worst?! One thing that has worked for me is keeping a variety of good food around that can work at anytime of day. Eggs, fruit, good grainy bread, yummy jams, nut butters are all kind of go to’s. Eggs are a great blank slate for a savory breakfast. Sometimes I’ll make huervos rancheros, or I might put a chimichurri sauce on top. Sometimes a green smoothie with all the things blended in works great. Drink and go! Good luck!

I always turn to fruit. Not only because it is good for me but also because when I am not hungry it looks smaller and tends to not look fufilling, but it actually is! Also remember as well to remind yourself that you must eat something in order to function. Even if it is something small.

If you’re less of a sweet person, avocado with tomato on toast (with a little garlic salt) is my favorite! If you are a sweet person, dipping

I usually drink a meal replacement shake when I’m not too hungry for breakfast. I get ones that dont have sugar in them or if I can do by a smoothie shop, I’ll get one and request a protein powder put in.

When I eat too quickly after getting up sometimes it makes my stomach hurt or make me feel nauseous, so I personally like to take all my breakfasts to go and eat them about an hour after getting up. For me it’s once I’ve gotten to work (waking up to where I have an hour to wait and be at liesure before leaving is not feasible with my personal schedule) and then I eat while reading the morning reports kinda like when I’m on the weekend and reading the paper or a magazine while eating breakfast. I really like soft boiled eggs, oatmeal, fruit, quiche, ect. Anything really that packs well and can be a good option. I do try to do a little bit better than a granola bar or a tablespoon of peanut butter.

First, something to drink and wait a while if my appetite will wake up for something larger, then normal breakfast. If still not hungry, a piece of fruit

When I don’t feel hunry for breakfast right away, I usually drink a cup of tea or coffee. That usually gets things moving and I can eat a small bowl of eggs or oatmeal after that.

I was never a breakfast person, the time to make breakfast and figuring out what I’d like in the morning was always a pressure that made me just want to skip breakfast all together. What ended up working for me was just making scrambled eggs every morning. It’s cheap and very quick to make, less than 10 minutes all together and you can do it while you get dressed or do morning stretches or any part of your morning routine to save time. The salt, pepper, and butter seasoning option is my go to for the eggs. I started out as a no-breakfast person, and after getting used to this habit I wake up craving the eggs lol. Above all the eggs are healthy and provide a great source of protein to keep you energized till lunch. Much better than sugary cereal or granola bars.
