Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but sometimes there is not enough time to prepare something. This doesn’t mean you can’t still make or take breakfast with you. Quick and easy breakfast ideas when you just don’t have time in the morning are numerous, but we will name some of the best.
Grab a yogurt
If you are in a rush, you can simply take yogurt with you for breakfast. You can top it up with strawberries or bananas, and add some granola. Yogurt contains healthy fats, proteins, and fiber. It keeps you from getting hungry for a longer period of time.
Use the microwave to make bacon
You can prepare bacon quickly using your microwave. It only takes a few minutes to cook crispy bacon and you will also avoid having to deal with cleaning up after making greasy bacon in the morning.
Make pancakes and waffles ahead of time
Prepare your pancake or waffle recipe overnight and freeze them. In the morning, put them in the toaster for a quick and delicious breakfast. You can also make them with your favorite toppings, like maple syrup and fruit.
Take fruit and cheese on the go
This nutritious mix is easy to gulp down when you don’t have time for a full meal. You can make the combo by slicing an apple and one ounce of cheddar cheese. Take the snack in a box or bag, and carry it to your car or the bus. It doesn’t get easier than that.
Top up your toast with avocado
You don’t have to buy an avocado toast from a restaurant; it’s easy to prepare it at home, not to mention quicker and cheaper. Making avocado toast takes just a few minutes, and you can add even more flavor by adding smoked salmon, pesto, radishes, or any other tasty cheese or vegetables.
Prepare mashed sweet potatoes
Mashed sweet potatoes are tasty and a good choice for breakfast. Simply pierce the potatoes with a fork in several spots, then place them in a microwave for a few minutes. Once they’re ready you can top them up with almond butter or cinnamon.
Make salad
Salads are not only great for lunch and dinner – they can also be good way to start your day. Make a salad starting with greens and other sliced veggies, then top with sliced oranges, smoked salmon, or avocado. Drizzle lightly with dressing and even consider sprinkling on some nuts. This protein salad will keep you full throughout the day.
Breakfast Cookies
Breakfast cookies that require no baking are easy to prepare. You can combine the ingredients at night to make it easier to grab in the morning. Mix wet ingredients like vanilla extract, honey, and peanut butter into oats and nuts. You can add any other extras like chocolate or pumpkin seeds.
Hard-boiled Eggs
Hard-boiled eggs are an easy and healthy way to prepare breakfast. Make the eggs by boiling them in water, or you can even make hard-boiled eggs using an oven. Just place the eggs in a muffin pan for 30 minutes. You can then slice them up on your toast with avocado.
The above ideas are quick and easy, so they’re perfect if you have no time to make breakfast in the morning.
