What is the easiest, but healthiest option for breakfast, when you want something for on the go? I work an hour away from home and don’t always have time for breakfast before I leave. Basically healthy options for ‘car-food’

I normally have yoghurt and granola, occasionally with some berries on top to give it that extra something. It’s easy to carry to work in a tupperware box and can be made the night before if you don’t have that much time in the morning. Alternatively make your own granola flapjacks with honey on a weekend as a healthy but sweet breakfast that you can have on the go! Hope this helps 😊 x

Energetic fruit and vegetable shakes. They keep you energized and saciated, and are so much healthier than fattening snacks we tend to get when in a hurry. There are hundreds of different shakes to be done, just put fruits, water and honey on a blender. You can choose any variation of fruits based on how they taste or based on their benefits for your health – and you can discover those hundreds of recipes online (there are apps for that!). I reccomend this habit because it is very easy and tasty and has definetly changed my morning energy.

Chia pudding. 1/2 cup of milk of choice, 1.5 tablespoons of chia seeds, and a 1/4 cup of fruit. Mix it all up, let it sit in the fridge over night- then grab for a car breakfast.

I have found that a well packed sandwich is a good on-the-go option, and a sandwich is always as healthy as you make it! Anyway, you should be able to give yourself a little time to have breakfast in your home if you don’t want to make a mess in your car. Maybe, it in your home, listen to a book in your one hour journey?

I am currently having the same issue. What i do is take hard boiled eggs and two fruits mostly apples and bananas which are easier to eat on the run.

Ok, I have an answer but please hear me out. Porridge is amazing as it takes two minuets to prepare (I get the ready brek sachets and if I have blueberries in the house I add those for some flavour) it’s delicious and keeps you full all day while being quick to make. But for on the go (as I have a bad havit of sleeping through alarms when my sleep pattern is out of sorts) I grab a banana and snack on oranges. Being slow releasing in energy, it’s healthy and tastes great. Plus it’s a lot more transportable than porridge. Alternatively a breakfast bar never goes a miss. You can make them the night before with any preference of flavours and fruits and take them the next day! I hope thise helped.

if you like some slices of bread with jam or anyway something very quickly, for example some biscuits or chocolate, just to have the energy to go, but after some hours later i suggest a snack, a fruit

Overnight oats! There’s so much you can do to customize it to your preference, or not at all! The night before, in a cup or container that will fit in your cars cup holder, put your oats (regular, not steel cut) in and add milk to the top of the oats, or more depending on how you like it (I prefer a little more milk). I prefer mine just like that, cause I love oats and milk. You can prepare whatever you’d like to add ahead of time in another container (I don’t add them at the time because that changes the texture in a way I don’t prefer). So many options: apples, pears, granola, peaches, brown sugar, agave, blueberries … mint.. ANYTHING! Nuts! Whatever! Then you’re all set. Don’t have to worry about cooking or anything. I used to think a hot breakfast was the standard, but I started to pair this with a thermos of hot tea and it’s been lovely. ✌️❤️

I’m mildly allergic to tree nuts, but if you’re not, I used to find almonds to be a great option! For myself, I’ll drink a cup or two of lactose-free 1% milk. It has a good blend of fat/carbs/protein. However, the carbs are not complex. If you have time for toast, a piece of toast with your almonds would be good. If not, whole grain crackers make a good alternative. I hope this helped!

I am in the same situation. I was thinking to have easy no mess foods. Things I can put in a ziplock bag and go. Such as apples, oranges, or any type of fruit already cut and prepared. Mixed nuts and string cheese.
