What do you make when you are in a rush to work but you still need to eat well?

I have found that eating healthy has made breakfast quicker and easier. I have found that a banana and a handful of walnuts has given me great energy for work and also keeps me full until lunch time. If I am hungrier, I will add some oatmeal or fresh fruit with it. Berries are great! Apples with peanut butter. Also, if you like hard boiled eggs, they are nice because you can boil enough for the whole week that way all you have to do is peel and maybe heat up if you prefer them hot. Hope this helps!

always keep a stack of nuts or healty bars in my office so if one morning I am in a rush I know there’s something healthy I can grab.

I have mixes for breakfast prepped in advance in case I’m in a rush. It’s usually something quick like some assorted nuts and a bit of fruit. I also have some more filling breakfasts like a mason jar meal that I can prep ahead of time and grab before I leave.

I try to always have a large bottle of a store bought (100% fruit) smoothie in the fridge (not juice, a smoothie) that I’ll pour into a travel mug. That’s not enough to sustain me till lunch so I’ll pair it with a protein bar, protein shake, or hard boiled egg if I have them made. Just always make sure the protein bars/ shakes have 5g grams of sugar or less because companies like to turn them into the equivalent of a candy bar.

Toast and egg sandwich with some sauerkraut works really well for me as it takes little time to make but eating while moving is not the one.

I try to plan ahead and make leftovers from a nutritious meal the night before. That way I have a warm and nutritious lunch with no extra work in the morning. I also pack my dinner to take with me sometimes if I’m going to be out all evening. If I haven’t cooked leftovers then a packet of grains or curried couscous from Aldi works as a protein filled lunchtime meal.

I have been preparing "grab bags" on the weekend for my week ahead. I add a variety of different healthy foods..boiled eggs, mixed nuts, fruits, cut up veggies and put them in little snack baggies so I can grab and go. Since healthy foods seem to expire quickly, I only do a week at a time. Hope this helps and works for you! 👍

I make protein shakes. Using vanilla or chocolate protein powder, water and ice as a base, I will then add things like chai tea and vanilla syrup (both sugar free) to the vanilla, or banana pudding mix and peanut butter to the chocolate. Gives me 30g of protein and I’m good to go for my morning! There are some great recipes on Pinterest. But I keep mine simple.

I take a snack and when I reach the office I find a good breakfast. But this is the exception, I regularly prioritize my breakfast to the work and try to give the right time for each task.

Buckwheat is fast to boil as i make it at the same time as i wash myself. Can also pan fry eggs but it requires more clean up later. Throwing together a quick smoothie with oatmeal in it is probably fastest.
