Do you often skip breakfast because there just isn't enough time to make it?
Do you find it difficult to focus, feel tired and low and often crave sugar and/or coffee during the day, especially late afternoon?
You may not be surprised to hear that the two above may be linked. Skipping breakfast is like asking your car to run on empty - it may do it for a short period of time but will quickly inform you that it's not how it was designed to run.
So if you really struggle with time in the morning, follow these steps:
1️⃣ Try not to think about what's on your plate just yet but choose something that you can put together relatively quickly, e.g. scrambled eggs and sourdough toast.
2️⃣ Or do the prep the day before so you can quickly reheat your breakfast in the morning, e.g. nut loaf with avocado and boiled eggs.
3️⃣ Aim at eating breakfast within the first couple of hours of waking up - eating on the go is not ideal, but may occasionally work if really pressed for time. Heated porridge in a flask or porridge pancakes may work well.
4️⃣ Once you get the hang of it (and start experiencing the benefits, which will.most definitely boost your motivation), then you can start increasing your portfolio of breakfast ideas and balanced them well for steady energy and satiety until lunchtime.
If you'd like more ideas on what to put on your plate first thing in the morning (including batch-cooking friendly recipes), comment below and I will send you a link to my 'Energise Your Mornings' free Recipe Pack that includes 11 breakfast ideas. 🌈
