7 Quick & Healthy Breakfast Ideas For Busy Mornings
SaleWhale

Whether you’re a morning person or not, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It’s easy to opt for a protein bar or skip breakfast entirely when we’re in a rush. However, with these simple recipe ideas, you don’t have to miss out on a delicious morning meal. Prepare the ingredients the night before, and you’ll be off to a great start to the day when you try these great breakfasts.

1. Avocado Toast

This is one of my favorite breakfasts because it doesn’t take long to prepare and you can top it off with whatever toppings you choose. Simply mash a sliced, peeled avocado and add seasonings like salt or lemon juice. Spread your mix onto two toasted pieces of bread (or bagel) and enjoy!

2. Yogurt Parfait

With this recipe, you can either go simple or fancy, depending on if you’re going to Instagram a picture later. If you’re short on time, gather your favorite yogurt with granola, berries, coconut or any other topics of your choice. It tastes like a desert but gives you the protein to kick-start a great day.

3. Banana + Almond Butter

When you’re in a rush but looking for protein, almond butter is your friend. Next time you’re grocery shopping, pick up a few snack-size almond butter packs and a bunch of bananas. Put them together for instant breakfast of champions.

4. Cinnamon Toast

If you have a little more time in the morning and prefer carbs over produce, this breakfast is for you. Start by topping one (or more) slices of bread with a few slices of butter and a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Put it in a toaster oven until crispy and enjoy!

5. Smoothie

Sometimes, you’re running so late, you just have to take breakfast on the road. Instead of a basic granola bar, opt for a smoothie you make the night before. You can add yogurt or protein powder for an added morning boost to your delicious breakfast to-go.

6. Peanut Butter Bagel

A carbo-load and protein is the athlete’s ideal breakfast. It’s pretty self-explanatory, but you are free to top off your yummy bagel with anything—perhaps bananas, apple slices, or a drizzle of honey. This recipe is both substantial and nutritious for everyone.

7. Cereal Trail Mix

This is one of my favorite breakfasts because you can prepare it days in advance and try out new variations each time. Simply gather your favorite cereals, granola, dried fruit or nuts and mix them together for a yummy, quick breakfast.


Don’t sacrifice a healthy breakfast because you lack time in the mornings. With these seven awesome recipes, you can start your day off to a positive start and thank yourself later.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
