A healthy diet is the biggest challenge and also a problem of the 21st century. This is a fact no one can deny. There are numerous arguments people can use to prove their point and dispute this fact, but the truth is that junk food is more attainable. When you enter the store, you will have a dozen junk food options, and maybe one or two healthy meals.
The issue becomes even bigger if you work long hours, and leave your home at the crack of dawn and come back late in the evening. Some would say that you can cook homemade recipes the day before and bring your meals to work. Still, this is not always possible, which is why, in the following text, we will provide you with some tasty breakfast ideas.
Berry Green Smoothie
If you are looking for easy recipes, it really can’t be simpler than this one. What’s more, it also can’t get any healthier. After all, smoothies are made from fresh ingredients, such as fruits and veggies, and the best part is that you can include whatever you want.
When it comes to this particular one, you will need some blueberries and raspberries, banana, spinach leaves, as well as milk, oats, and you can add a bit of sugar to it or omit it if you want to keep it super healthy. All you have to do is mix all of these ingredients and blend them together for a few minutes, and that’s it.
There is another reason why smoothies have become everyone’s favorite breakfast. Not only can you prepare it in a matter of minutes, but you can pour it into a cup or some other type of container and drink it while on the way to work. This meal will save you so much time in the morning, and you will still manage to eat and get to the office on time, ready to work.
Breakfast burrito
Okay, this isn’t one of those delicious recipes you can cook quickly in the morning, but it is completely worth it to stay up an hour longer the night before to prepare it. Plus, it includes all your favorite breakfast food, so how could you say no to it?
The number of each ingredient will depend on the number of burritos you want to prepare. In addition, you can cook a bunch of these, put them in the freezer, and have breakfast for many days to come. All you have to do is put them into a microwave, and that’s it.
The first thing you have to do is whisk eggs and milk in a bowl and cook the meat you choose. You can go with sausage, bacon, ham, etc. Then sauté the chosen veggies, and add the egg mixture into it. When the eggs start cooking, add the meat, and cook everything thoroughly, and once it is done, top everything with your favorite cheese.
Now, all that is left is to divide the filling onto tortillas, include additional toppings of your choosing, such as rice, potatoes, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc., and roll tortillas into burritos. Both simple and delicious, right? Once again, breakfast burritos are a great meal that can be prepared with different ingredients.
Gluten-free pancakes
If you have just entered the world of gluten-free meals, it may seem that your options are somewhat restricted, but this is far from true. Here is an easy and tasty breakfast idea. The most important thing, when it comes to this recipe, is the find the right gluten-free flour. Nowadays, there are many products on the market, but you have to remember that not all of them are made in the same way.
When it comes to the preparation process, it is the same as with regular pancakes. You mix all the dry ingredients together (flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt), and then you add eggs and milk. If you want to, you can always include fresh fruits, just make sure not to stir too hard. Now, all you have to do is cook them until golden brown and top them with a favorite syrup and add extra toppings.
Blueberry vanilla muffins
We all adore these small pieces of heaven, right? If you are looking for a perfect Sunday breakfast for your family, this is it. Firstly, don’t forget to preheat the oven and prepare the muffin tin. Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in one bowl, and get another one to whisk butter, egg, sugar, buttermilk, and that delicious vanilla bean paste. Pour this mixture over dry ingredients and combine everything together. Finally, add the blueberries and mix everything gently. All that is left to do is to pour the mixture into the muffin tin and bake it for about 15 minutes.
Overnight French toast
If you are in the habit of preparing your breakfast the evening before, this is a perfect recipe for you because it will only get more delicious if you leave it overnight. The great thing about this one is that it will only take you about 10 minutes.
Coat the baking tray with a nonstick spray and arrange bread pieces evenly. Then, whisk milk, eggs, vanilla bean paste, nutmeg, and cinnamon into a bowl, and pour it over the bread. You have to give the bread at least two hours to soak up the mixture. When you are ready to serve it, put it into a preheated oven, bake it for about half an hour, and top it with a glaze made out of melted butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup.
Cinnamon Peanut Butter Granola Bars
Finally, we will provide you with another idea that is super easy to prepare since it doesn’t involve cooking and baking, and it is a meal you can bring with you to work.
Firstly, you have to blend dates until they turn into sort of a jam, and you have to be able to shape them into small balls. Then, place honey and peanut butter into a bowl and microwave it for about 30 to 45 seconds. Combine the date with this mixture, and add other ingredients, such as oats, almonds, dried apples, vanilla, and kosher salt. Pour it into a baking tray and spread it evenly using your hands. Cover the tray with plastic wrap and place it into a fridge for 20 minutes. Lastly, cut it into even pieces, and if you want to prolong their freshness, you can wrap each piece into wax paper and store them in an air-tight container.
