Top 10 Tips for Quick and Easy Breakfasts With our hectic schedules, finding the time to prepare breakfast can be challenging. Here are some tips for making this important meal a little easier to get on the table (or in your hand on the way out the door.)
- Set up to-go bags the day before a crazy morning. Include low-fat yogurt, baggie of granola, a hard-boiled egg and a handful of grapes
- Have a smoothie. Just make sure to add some protein, like yogurt or tofu, to keep you satisfied longer.
- Make quick and healthy breakfast sandwiches with frozen waffles (toasted), peanut butter and sliced banana.
- Set foods aside the night before; cut up fruits, pour cereal or prepare mixtures for baked or scrambled eggs.
- Consider steel-cut oats for a super-healthy and convenient meal. Combine the oats and water, bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover and let set overnight. The next morning, you just have to reheat them.
- Use your microwave. Most hot cereals have microwave instructions. Mix the cereal with liquid and flavorings, pop it in the microwave and finish dressing while breakfast cooks itself.
- Keep your freezer stocker with frozen waffles and healthy breakfast burritos.
- Don't think of berries as an extravagance. They're outrageously good for you and they turn the most boring bowl of cereal into something special.
- Keep hard-boiled eggs in your fridge - it's an easy dose of high-quality protein.
- Always keep a bowl of fresh seasonal fruits available for the easiest grab-and-go.
