It’s 6 am in the morning, and you’re already up. You need to wake up early just to prepare breakfast, or else, you will need to spend more money just to buy yourself a take out.
Here at Cuchini, we understand how hard it is to squeeze in breakfast when you are already late for work. Instead of getting an extra hour of sleep, or having more time to decide what to wear, or giving yourself more time to give your eyes that perfect cat eye liner, preparing breakfast eats most of your time. So we have compiled 8 breakfast ideas that are quick, but will give you the energy and nutrition that you need at the same time.
1. Bircher muesli
Soak oats in milk overnight, with sunflower, almonds and pumpkin seeds. In the morning throw in; blueberries, strawberries, natural yogurt and grated apple. Muesli is packed with antioxidants and dietary fiber, together with beneficial calcium and fats.
2. Fruit and cheese
An easy to assemble and balanced morning meal; Wrap 1 to 2 ounces of cheddar cheese in a plastic. Then in a re-sealable plastic bag, toss in sliced apple, ¼ cup of fiber- and protein-rich walnuts, and the wrapped cheese. Enjoy!
3. Peanut butter waffle
Instead of eating a whole grain toaster waffle in syrup, reduce the sugar and boost the fiber and protein by spreading the waffle with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. If you wish, you can sprinkle a tablespoon of extra peanuts, raisins or sesame seeds to obtain more fiber. It greatly helps deliver the meal’s nutrients steadily and slowly.
4. Morning pizza
Grab a slice of crusty bread, and then spread 3 tablespoons of low-fat ricotta on it. Top with sliced tomatoes, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and add a little amount of salt and pepper. Eat your breakfast like a royalty!
5. Whole oat porridge
If you love oats and fruits, then this is the perfect bowl for you! Prepare a bowl of whole oat porridge, then toss some diced pear and banana, almond milk, almond flakes, cinnamon, chia seeds, and a drizzle of raw honey. This meal is good for reducing cholesterol levels.
6. Green veggie juice
Don’t feel like munching on anything but still need to get your stomach full? Pop in some parsley, baby spinach, celery, apple, cucumber, avocado and lime into your juicer and blend. For additional protein and nutrients, add a teaspoon of spirulina. Enjoy a drink full of antioxidants!
7. Huevos Rancheros
One of the easiest way to get yourself some protein is to eat a hard-boiled egg. The only problem is, it has no fiber or carbohydrates. To solve this dilemma, slice the hard-boiled egg, add lean ham or bacon then roll it in an 8-inch whole-wheat tortilla. If you wish, you can add a slice of cheese. For additional flavor and vitamin C, add 1 tablespoon of salsa. You’re welcome.
