I like to get carbs, fibre and natural sugars only into this quick and tasty option: Put straight into the bowl you will eat from, 1/2 cup whole rolled oats, and a small-medium handful of your favourite seeds and nuts - I throw in a chia-based seed mix from my local supermarket, pumpkin seeds and almonds. Top with a selection of fruit of your choice. I go with berries as they’re really quick to literally throw in - strawberries with the tops removed, blueberries, and raspberries - you could also do canned peaches, sliced banana, pre-cubed watermelon and so on. Finally, top with milk and/or yoghurt, mix and eat! It took me longer to write this post than make my breakfast this morning. Can be made in the time it takes to boil a kettle for your morning tea or coffee. Buon appetit!
Oatmeal with the fruits, tea with caviar or salmon on the piece of bread with butter. Fried eggs with beans and vegetables.
Ive just discovered this: 1 egg mixed with 50g ( 1 big breakfast spoon) low fat cottage cheese. Cook like an omelette in a non stick pan - cooks in maybe 5 minutes (less even) Has around 12g protein for only approx 110 calories, so you can make 2 if you need more. Have with a slice of grainy toast and / or a piece of fruit. Another quick one I make and eat in the car: Grainy toast with natural Peanut Butter and 1/3 banana sliced on top (1 piece toast like this only, this is a little heavy calorie wise) Have with 1 x Vegemite toast OR 1 x fruit (finish the banana!) Plus an instant coffee made in a travel mug to go. Keep it simple, best wishes!
I would used a protein filled yogurt, top this with some banana and blueberry and add some seeds for extra filling power and goodness
Oatmeal is a great breakfast, since it keeps the energy up for a long time and you can but almost any topping on it. Also it only takes 5 minutes to make.
Protein powder that has no sugar, green banana, loads of spinach, unsweetened almond milk and almond butter in a blender. Blend and drink.
Fried or scrambled eggs with toast is really quick. Though if you want a "grab and go" item and can either buy or make these ahead of time, healthy muffins and yogurt cups can be a good option, too.
Poached eggs with wilted spinach. Boil the kettle first to get the water hot, then fill a shallow pan on a high heat to keep it boiling. Crack in two eggs (room temperature) and time for 2 minutes. While that’s cooking, put a bowl of spinach in the microwave for 1 minute to wilt, and if there’s still water in the kettle you’ve got time to make a cup of tea too!!
A powdered protein smoothie is definitely the quickest breakfast, though if you want spmething more substantial I like to do granola, nuts, and some fruit (like a banana or apple, sliced) over whole-fat or 2% Greek yogurt.
I think a package of plain instant oatmeal is easiest. It gives you slow digesting carbs for energy and can be made in 1 minutes with a kettle and a mug. I often add a dollop of cashew butter or other nut butter for more protein. A few fresh berries thrown in from the fridge only takes a few extra seconds and makes it special.
