Hey everyone! So today I am going to be sharing with you 5 quick and healthy breakfast ideas for each day of the week! All of them include lots of fruit and tons of protein to kickstart your day and keep you full and energized until break time (or lunch). Overall, they can be made within 20 minutes or less so are perfect for when you don't have too much time; especially the Friday breakfast (takes 5 minutes at the most)! Well, I hope you guys enjoy this post and that it gives you some inspiration/ideas for healthier and more filling breakfasts during school! Remember-breakfast is the most important meal of the day ;) Monday: Berry Yogurt Parfait Tuesday: Oatmeal Wednesday: Eggs & Toast Thursday: 4-ingredient pancakes Friday: Peanut-butter banana time

Berry Yogurt Parfait

Ingredients include: ⇓ ∇ ⇓

Steps:

And there you have it! A quick and delicious fruit meal that is perfect for any school day! It seems pretty light; however, fills you up greatly with all the fruits and granola. I personally dislike raisins so my granola comes without but you can use any kind you enjoy!

Creamy oatmeal with fresh fruit

So since I am usually in a rush in the morning I like to use this Trader Joes Oatmeal Complete oatmeal packets! They are super beneficial and good for you filling you with tons of fiber and vitamins. It's also a 2-step process and tastes just like oatmeal, if not better because it's also flavored w/maple & brown sugar which adds just the right amount of sweetness. The problem with regular oatmeal for me is sometimes it doesn't taste sweet enough so I have to add extra sugar which is much more unhealthy!

Pour packet of oats into a shallow bowl...

Add in the water & stir

Next, you are going to microwave on high anywhere between 1 and 2 minutes. I do mine at around 1:40 but it will just depend on your microwave. You basically want to microwave it until the consistency is thick & water has evaporated.

While the oatmeal is cooking I like to chop one banana into half-sized pieces and place in a bowl for toppings. I also take out some blueberries and wash them.

For a drink I decided to have some of this 'Apple and Berry Innocent Juice' which includes lots of healthy vitamins!

Then, for my toppings I have:

Lastly the assembling and enjoying (of course checking Instagram too)

Eggs & Toast

So recently our grocery stores have stopped selling English muffins...so I usually make this meal on an english muffin but since we didn't have any, I had to improvise! You can also add avocado or eliminate the cheese for a more healthy option! I just like to keep my meals balanced and nutritious not TOO crazily worried about the health content :)

To make the eggs you will need either 1 or 2 eggs and some half and half creme (or just plain milk). I don't measure the creme- I just simply throw in a dash of what looks right-you can't really mess it up. I then beat these ingredients together with a fork.

While the sprayed pan is heating up I like to quickly chop my strawberries as an extra side, put my toast down in the toaster since the eggs cook super quickly, and also grate some cheddar cheese which I will later sprinkle on the top for flavor! You can cook the eggs in either a pot or pan; however I like to use a pan for a quicker version.

Once the eggs are cooked you can lightly coat bread with some butter for moisture, plop your eggs on top, sprinkle some cheese and you're ready to go! Oh and I also like to have a yogurt (in this case blueberry flavor) on the side!

4-Ingredient Healthy Pancakes!

Yes you heard me right...HEALTHY pancakes! And these aren't some gross, grainy-tasting healthy pancakes; these are super yummy and taste just like normal pancakes! I know everyone says that about healthy food to get people to eat it but I really do mean it when I say that. And they are only four ingredients so can be whipped up in no time. Plus, you don't even have to spend time mushing a banana to pieces because the blender will do it all!

With these ingredients you are going to add them all into the blender and beat until fully combined, but not too much so it doesn't become frothy!

After that...

This is the final product! So so tasty! I also added some low-sugar syrup and blueberries to taste. Finally, for a drink I decided on a small glass of orange juice for some calcium :)

Peanut-Butter Banana Time!

This final meal I think everyone knows of...the classic peanut butter and banana toast with a drizzle of honey on the top. This breakfast (or lunch) idea is the classic, in-a-hurry breakfast filled with tons of protein to keep you lasting and awake for the whole day. So here are some pictures of me making this simple and delicious breakfast! I also paired it with a strawberry yogurt as another little side dish.

Thank you so much for reading through and viewing this post! I hope you took away some amazingly tasty breakfasts that will make you feel a lot more satisfied and prevent needless snacking throughout the day than Pop-tarts, donuts, or the worst of them all-NOTHING! Always eat breakfast even if your not full because trust me it will kick-start your metabolism for the day which is key if you want to be feeling and looking healthy! Thanks again and stay tuned for my next blog post next week <3
