A filling and healthy breakfast is so important if you have a busy day of work or college ahead.
If you're a fan of the snooze button though, it can be hard to make time for the most important meal of the day.
Rather than grabbing a muffin and coffee on your way to the bus, take an extra minute or two at home to make something from scratch. It's much quicker – and simpler – than you might think!
Here are just three ideas we love for quick weekday breakfasts:
Smashed avocado and egg on toast
Ingredients
- 2 slices wholewheat bread
- 1/2 a ripe avocado, smashed with a spoon
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Spread avocado onto toasted bread.
- Top with a poached egg.
- Add a sprinkle of salt and black pepper.
Quick scrambled eggs
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- Chopped veg of your choice eg. tomatoes, spinach, red peppers
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Beat eggs in a microwave-safe bowl with a fork.
- Stir in chopped veg.
- Heat for 30 seconds on high and stir.
- Heat for another 30 seconds and stir again.
- Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Berry and cinnamon smoothie
Ingredients
- 75g fresh/frozen blueberries
- 75g fresh/frozen raspberries
- 75g low-fat natural or vanilla yoghurt
- 125ml semi-skimmed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Method
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy!
*If using fresh fruit instead of frozen, add a couple of ice cubes and use just 100ml milk.
