When you are pressed for time in the morning, how do you still have a good breakfast?

I try to find a 10min break from work and grab something healthy from the coffee shop, or I leave a bottle of green juice at work for time like this. Or worst case scenario, I will have a super healthy lunch.

Normally during work days I have a homemade fruit smoothie, so I don’t really need much time for that. Instead during the week I like to have a more substantial breakfast.

I either make a to-go breakfast the night before - typically coconut chia seed pudding - and eat it on the train. Or I grab some oatmeal when I get to work. Cereal doesn’t cut it’s for me, I need something more substantial!

I normally AM pressed for time. A good breakfast doesn’t have to be a big one or even a cooked or prepared one. I have some cranberry almond granola bars, oranges, and cheese sticks I can pick and choose from but most of the time I’ll grab the cheese stick and an orange and try to eat them on the way to work. Today I had a banana that I clumped a big spoonful of peanut butter on right before I ran out the door. Not the best, but it’s still healthy and balanced and it definitely gives me energy. You could also try buying frozen fruit, protein and almond milk (or whatever ingredients you like) and make a smoothie quick, put it in a closable cup and take it on the go. Whatever works best for what you like.

I travel for my job so most of my breakfast are in hotels that have amazing breakfasts. I don’t really need to think about it.

I make overnight oats, or parfaits that sit in the fridge overnight. In the morning, all I have to do is grab it and go!

Some fruits are very easy to eat, like bananas, grapes, apples. Take them with you. Other thing you can do is to prepare some hard boiled eggs in the night before, it’s quick and easy.

I prepare components of my breakfast food ahead of time, ex: hard boiled eggs or Pre made quiche. If I know my morning is going to be rushed I make the entire breakfast one that in can grab and take with me made the night ahead also I have healthy bars/fruit that are a back up if I have an unexpected am rush.

Do you tend to not have time for breakfast? Prepare for it ahead of time. Get some overnight oats ready (so many variations of recipes online), pre-make or pre-portion out a smoothie, make some grab-n-go breakfast bars or muffins. Give yourself every reason to succeed!

I know breakfast is very important so I always make sure to get up and give myself enough time to make something. But if I am pressed for time oatmeal is always a good option or scrambled eggs.
