Do you skip breakfast in the morning because you are busy?
When you’re feeling overwhelmed by your schedule and constantly rushing from appointment to appointment, it’s an incredibly popular decision to skip breakfast altogether. Mornings can really be a race that we feel like we’re constantly losing, so I understand the reasoning behind feeling like there’s no time for breakfast.
After all, when you’re already running a race against time, it seems impossible to find the opportunity to sit down for breakfast, in addition to everything else.
I’ve been there too. We have all been there. I have certainly felt your confusion and frustration. I’m sure your mom told you that breakfast was the most important meal of the day, but in case you need another reminder … it’s time to stop skipping breakfast!
Eating breakfast helps improve concentration, memory, and even helps improve your mood. Finding a simple and healthy breakfast that fits into your busy schedule is easy enough, and I’ll show you how, so no more excuses to skip breakfast.
But really, finding time for breakfast is vital. You went all night without eating and you need to replenish your body for the next day. Breakfast is the perfect time to take in those important vitamins and nutrients your body needs to function well throughout the day.
Here are some of my favorite healthy and simple breakfast ideas that fit perfectly into a busy schedule …
Toast with avocado and egg. This breakfast tastes great and can be made in a couple of minutes. The avocado is full of healthy fats and the egg provides you with some protein you need to fuel your body well throughout the day.
Perfect fruit, nuts and yogurt. There are delicious plant-based yogurts that you should try if you haven’t already – look for local brands in your area. Simply layer yogurt, nuts, fruit, nut butter, and honey to create a delicious breakfast packed with healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals.
Mini breakfast muffins to make ahead. When you have absolutely no time in the morning, prepare them ahead of time and even take them with you. Just mix up some egg, spinach, and other veggies you want in muffin tins, bake these at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, and they’re ready to go.
Chia night. Mix the oatmeal, chia seeds, honey, and some nut milk in a jar and then leave it overnight in the refrigerator. You can add other ingredients you want to make this to your liking, such as cocoa powder, blueberries, or peanut butter.
Don’t complicate it too much, that’s exactly what causes the overwhelming feeling that keeps you from eating breakfast on a daily basis. Get your healthy nutrition so you feel good all day.
