Quick Breakfast Recipes for a Great Day

I know, Fabulous Traveler, that sometimes you just don't have time to prepare a proper breakfast, but this should never be a reason to skip it.There are always instantly available options for those days when you’re in a rush.

Apples and Bananas

What can be quicker than putting a banana or an apple into your bag and eating it on the way? These two fruits have a low glycemic index, which means that they will sustain you with energy until your next meal. Contrast this to a muffin for example, which will give you a spike of energy for around 30 minutes, followed by a crash.

Energy and Protein Bars

Read the nutrition label when buying these, and especially watch out for those that contain unhealthy fats and fast sugars. Don't buy candy bars but energy bars: it can be hard to recognize the difference at first, but just keep reading those labels!

Mixed Nuts

Keep an ample supply of almonds, raisins, pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries. All these provide a steady source of energy. You can put them in a box and grab a handful whenever you need a boost.

Not hungry in the morning?

What if you're not hungry in the morning Fabulous Traveler? If you're a night owl, you generally won't feel hungry in the morning. I used to be like this, but once I got into the habit of eating breakfast, it just become something I absolutely needed. If this is the case for you, start with a light breakfast. Even a handful of mixed nuts will do.
