A protein smoothy, or chia seeds put in yoghurt/coconut milk the night before and some berries added to in the morning. Also like cashew nut butter and/or tahini on rye toast, with banana ;)
I like to have a light , preprepared breakfast that is Rich in vitamins and nutrients. I pre make fresh smoothie packs every Saturday or Sunday and stow them in the freezer. I order my groceries on Friday to come on Saturday or Sunday so that I have everything I need for the week ahead. In addition, I make sure my blender is clean the night before and that it is ready to go in the morning. I have superfood mixes from your super Superfoods that I can easily add to my smoothies giving nutrient and energy boost. So in the morning when I wake up, after I’ve had my water, I take out my frozen smoothie pack, juice and plant based milk, Superfoods and add it all to the blender. Then I have a smoothie ready to drink (or take with me to work)
Toast and topping, yogurt and fruit. To cook an egg, get up half an hour earlier to avoid it going later into your day and feeling stressed. Seems a bit ridiculous to get up earlier for an egg though? But you can’t make it the night before, yuck. Have anything you’re gunna make that doesn’t live in the fridge out and ready to go for the morning, have the kettle filled and the coffee cup ready with the coffee so you can get out of bed, go to the loo, brush your teeth, sort your hair and bring your book downstairs, click the kettle on, put the toast in the toaster, put the pan on the stove, put the tea in the mug - pour the water into the mug and pan, plop in the egg, set a 5 minute timer, butter the toast and sit down and take notes for the day or about your sleep or about how you feel today. Make it easier x
Take a fruit with you on your way to school/work if you’re in a hurry, or prepare the all the stuff you need the evening before on the table of the kitchen, so that you’re also more motivated to do not skip breakfast :)
Prep a few days of breakfasts at a time. For example, I make egg muffins and make enough to last for 3 days. Then you just grab and go!
I’ve been making a bowl of old fashioned oats. I have been adding hemp seed, chia seed, ground flax seed and a tablespoon of peanut butter.
Depending on your lifestyle and diet, there are quite a lot of options. If you are also feeding a family, a slow cooker would be an excellent investment. Or another overnight food is overnight oats with chia seeds and whatever milk works for you. If you have freezer space, batch recipes that can be frozen then heated are godsends, like mini quiches. I personally like simple foods that I can set and leave unattended while I get ready/ do housework, like rice or simple chicken soup. In a pinch, some chia seeds, some sweetener and dry fixings measured before hand added to milk in a jar will be ready for me to eat when I get to work.
Honestly, I have time in the morning to make a great meal but I’m just not that hungry first thing in the morning. So I grab a yogurt or granola bar and sit it in front of me at my desk [avoid putting the coffee cup in front of you] ;) that way instead of filling up on coffee first, I grab the yogurt or fruit bar and sip it down with a glass of water and my coffee. Idk how but it helps, while this does too!
Get all your recipe handy a night before, so you just wake up and prepare not looking around for one thing or the other.
I plan ahead by setting out the dishes or utensils I need the night before, and often making the decision of what to eat the night before too. For quick breakfasts, you can pre-portion some nut butter into small containers, then grab that with a spoon and an apple or banana as you go.
