Do you skip breakfast in the morning because you are busy?

When you feel overwhelmed by your schedule and are constantly rushing from one appointment to the next, it’s an incredibly popular decision to skip breakfast altogether. Mornings really can 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 racing against the clock, it seems impossible to find an opportunity to sit down for breakfast, on top of everything else.

I have 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 works for your busy schedule is pretty easy, and I’ll show you how, so no more excuses to skip breakfast.

But really, it’s vital to find time to eat breakfast. You went all night without eating and you need to recharge your body for the next day. Breakfast is the perfect time to get those important vitamins and nutrients your body needs to function well throughout the day.

Here are some of my favorite simple healthy breakfast ideas that fit perfectly into a busy schedule…

Toast with avocado and an egg. This breakfast tastes great and can be prepared in a couple of minutes. The avocado is full of healthy fats and the egg provides you with some protein that you need to fuel your body well throughout the day.

Perfect fruit, nuts and yogurt. There are delicious plant-based yogurts 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.

Prepared mini breakfast muffins. When you have absolutely no time in the morning, prepare them ahead of time and even take them with you. Just mix some egg, spinach and any other veggies you like into muffin tins, bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes and they are ready to go.

Chia night. Mix the oats, chia seeds, honey, and some nut milk in a jar and then leave it overnight in the fridge. You can add any other ingredients you like to make this to your liking, such as cocoa powder, cranberries, or peanut butter.

Don’t overcomplicate it, that’s exactly what causes the overwhelmed feeling that prevents you from eating breakfast every day. Get your healthy nutrition in you so you feel great all day.
