Are you (literally) tired of the same old oatmeal or cheese on bread for breakfast? Of feeling hangry before you’ve even arrived at work? Of hasty snacks on-the-go? There is ample evidence that having a balanced, nutritious breakfast sets us up for a good day in all the right ways, but it can be difficult to integrate into a busy lifestyle.
Here are a few ways I enjoy a great breakfast when I’m short on time in the mornings.
Make It Bite-Sized
Almost anything you love for breakfast, sweet or savory, can find its way into a … muffin! Start an internet search and you’ll soon find yourself down a recipe rabbit hole from which you can dig up anything from egg cups to chocolate-chip muffins. To save you some time on research, how about trying this basic, no-flour Oatmeal Muffins recipe first?
For 12-16 muffins:
Grab a couple of muffins to go (they also make a great pre- or post-workout snack!), or enjoy them with some peanut butter and jam or fresh fruit and yogurt.
Boost Your Avocado Toast
If you love avocado toast, but tend to go hungry again quite soon, you may not be getting enough protein. Here are two easy ways to fix that:
Prep Your Porridge
This last one is actually based on a traditional Finnish Christmas dessert. Stick this in the oven on a weekend morning, let it do its thing and you’ll have breakfast (or dessert) ready for several days.
For 6-8 servings:
Take it to go in a box with a handful of berries, or – if you happen to have a slow morning – enjoy it warm, with orange slices, roasted cashew nuts, and a trickle of maple syrup. Yum!
