5 Super Easy Breakfast Ideas

Do you find it tough to make time for a good breakfast in the morning, but then end up starving at your desk with no healthy options in sight? Try our 5 super simple, healthy ideas for breakfasts you can either eat quickly at home, or bundle up and bring with you to work, or wherever else you’re hurrying off to. 

For cereal lovers

• Rolled oats + nuts/seeds + shaved coconut + Goji berries
• Pop it all in a Tupperware container, shake it up and scoop out half a cup at a time, topped (or soaked overnight) with your favourite milk and a little full-fat Greek yoghurt (plain)

For protein heroes

• Boil a bunch of eggs on the weekend
• Grab 2-3 on your way out the door, pop in a tuppperware container with a handful of baby spinach (and/or whatever other veggies you have, we also love baby tomatoes, avocado or mushrooms)
• When you get to work, add olive oil and salt/pepper/chilli and eat them up, just like that!

For healthy fat fanatics

• 1 piece of rye bread, toasted + half an avocado + tinned sardines or salmon in olive oil
• Put the last two ingredients on the first, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, maybe add a bit of mustard and eat it up!
• Sounds weird, but we promise it’s delicious and will make your hair and skin PERFECTO!

For sweet seekers

• Half a cup of Chia seeds + half a cup of coconut milk + pinch of vanilla + pinch of stevia + small handful blueberries or sliced strawberries
• Mix it up, put it in the fridge overnight, eat in the morning with a scoop of your choice of yoghurt. It’s delicious, filling and sweet but light on sugar

For ‘blitz and go’ babes

• 1 big handful baby spinach + 1 sliced cucumber + 1 handful frozen blueberries + 1 scoop protein powder of choice + small handful almonds and/or shaved coconut + water or coconut water + ice + a little stevia
• Blitz it all up, pop it in a drink shaker and off you go!

For coffee cravers

• Black coffee + 1 teaspoon thick cream or unsalted butter or coconut cream + 1 teaspoon coconut oil + pinch of coconut + stevia to taste
• Healthy fats, a slower and gentler coffee ‘up’ with less of a crash and a little something healthy in your tummy that will keep you happy for a few hours ;)

For vegan protein seekers

• Rice + beans + greens
• Cook and put all together in a bowl = the perfect complete protein source!
• Tip: do a big prep day for this one on a Sunday and eat it alllll week long

Ideas for ‘still don’t have time’ divas

• Pack a tin of wild salmon or sardines to take to work with you (you get used to the taste, promise!)
• Toss an apple and a small bag of nuts in your handbag
• Try a Chief Bar for breakfast (yes really!)
• Order a piece of sourdough at your work café topped with avocado and drizzled with olive oil
• Have individual, small tubs of full-fat, plain Greek yoghurt in the fridge (we love Jalna’s mini pots) and throw one in your bag on the way out the door – extra points if you can pick up some berries or nuts on the way to work to add to your pot when you get there!
• Grab an avocado, literally just eat it with some salt and pepper, mustard or olive oil
• A big scoop of nut butter on a spoon… why not!
• Stash some individual serves of protein powder and Supergreens (try 180 Nutrition and Nu-Zest’s Good Green Stuff) in your handbag for emergency construction with a little water and ice at work!
