There are those people who breeze into work in the morning and casually mention how they read the paper over a long and leisurely breakfast after a morning jog. Then there are those who would gladly hit the snooze button and skip breakfast completely if it means they can get an extra seven minutes of sleep.
Whether you commute to the office or work from home it’s important to eat breakfast before hunger strikes. (1) Here are some quick breakfast options that show there’s more to breakfast than what’s inside the cereal box:
If you haven’t already, it’s time to revisit this new classic. These Protein-Packed Overnight Oats mix oats, plain yogurt, fruit, and a few other ingredients and are simply refrigerated overnight for a healthy breakfast on-the-go. Swap out your favorite milk, fruit and yogurt for your own twist on this recipe.
Spray the inside of a ramekin or small mason jar with cooking spray. Crack two eggs and add a splash of milk, a sprinkle of salt and pepper and stir with a fork to combine. Cover and bring with you to work. When you get to work, remove the lid and pop it into the office microwave for 30-second intervals until you have warm, perfectly cooked, scrambled eggs. Pair this with a piece of fruit for a balanced meal.
Yogurt is the go-to dairy staple for mornings, but like cereal, plain yogurt gets dull and many flavored yogurts contain added sugars. Instead try low-fat cottage cheese which is packed with protein and no added sweeteners and is the perfect foundation for banana slices, berries and a little granola.
A protein shake is an easy, no-cook breakfast that comes together quickly and has all the nutrients to keep you satisfied until lunch. This Green Mango Kale Protein Shake has only 6 ingredients with 42g of protein to start your day with a bang.
