When I Started Making Quick Easy Breakfast Ideas
As a self-professed food lover with a hectic schedule, I vividly remember the one instance that I finally accepted the importance of quick, easy breakfast ideas. See I used to be a coffee for breakfast kind of girl.
But when I started working longer hours, suddenly those mornings when I wouldn’t eat anything beforehand or bring a breakfast to go I was hangry by the first break. Nobody likes that.
It was a typical Monday morning, and as usual, I found myself racing against time to meet a deadline. With no time to whip up my typical weekend elaborate breakfasts, I was left with two choices: skip breakfast like I do most work day or opt for a quick solution.
I really didn’t want to just grab some processed granola bar because that wasn’t going to help the issue at all, so I decided to give a simple smoothie bowl recipe a try I’d saved on Pinterest the week before.
Within minutes, I had a refreshing, nutrient-packed breakfast in hand. And it was GOOD!
Not only did it satiate my hunger, but it also provided the energy I needed to power through the day. That day, I discovered the magic of quick and easy breakfast ideas – they not only save time but also ensure that no matter how busy you are, starting the day with a healthy meal is always possible.
