Breakfast of champions!
On the go breakfast ideas are great for when we’re running late. And let’s be real, we all have mornings when we’re running late. Maybe you stayed up too late the night before and snoozed through your five alarms. Maybe you took too long perfecting that winged eyeliner. Maybe you changed your outfit five times.
Regardless of the reason, sometimes we can’t help but run late. But running late is no excuse to miss breakfast. After all, it’s the most important meal of the day. You need to feed your body nutrients to help give it energy first thing in the morning. So here are some easy on the go breakfast ideas to cut some time out of your morning routine.
The great thing about overnight oats is that you prepare it the night before. Take an empty jar and pour between a half to one cup of your preferred oats into it. The next part is fun. You get to mix in all your favorite fruit and nuts. Some usual favorites are strawberries, bananas, blueberries, almonds and walnuts. Next, add in your preferred sweetener. Agave, honey or maple syrup all work well. If you have a sweet tooth add chocolate chips! Finally, cover your mixture with water or almond milk. Close the jar tightly and refrigerate it overnight. The next morning you’ll wake up to a jar of perfect on-the-go overnight oats. This is one of the quickest on the go breakfast ideas!
When it comes to fruit smoothies you are the artist. You can put whatever you want in them. You can also prepare your smoothie the night before to cut down on prep time in the busy morning.
The base of your smoothies should be your favorite fruits. Next move onto veggies. Spinach and kale add a quick nutrient boost. Add any extras that you like, whether it be nuts, peanut butter or sweeteners. Top it off with water, almond milk or yogurt. I also like to add ice to mine for texture. Then voila! Blend, pour and go!
To cut down on prep time in the morning you can chop up and combine all your fruits and veggies the night before. Put them in a Tupperware in the fridge so they are ready to go in the morning. You can also go one step further. Put your ingredients in the blender and then put your blender in the fridge. Smoothies are a nutritious and delicious way to start your day!
There are only two simple ingredients for this one. All you need is a slice of your favorite bread and half of an avocado. Simply toast your slice of bread. Then, using a fork, spread the avocado onto your toast. Season with salt and pepper. Breakfast is served!
To add some protein try adding a fried egg on top. If you’re feeling extra bold sprinkle some chili flakes on top or drizzle some olive oil.
Whether you’re five or twenty-five, this is a timeless favorite. Banana toast is super easy and perfect for a rushed morning. For this quick recipe, all you’ll need in your pantry is bread, a banana, peanut or almond butter and honey. Simply spread your preferred nut butter on your toast. Then top your toast with banana slices. Finally, finish by drizzling your desired amount of honey. If you’re feeling a bit ambitious sprinkle some cinnamon on top! This will always be one of the best on the go breakfast ideas.
With these quick and healthy on the go breakfast ideas, you have no more excuses to skip the most important meal of the day. So no more leaving the house with nothing but a cup of coffee in your stomach!
