15 Easy & Quick Healthy Breakfast Ideas for Those Busy Mornings 

We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And as much as we all would like to start every day with a fulfilling breakfast, it is not always feasible for everyone to take half an hour or an hour of their morning to prep and make a well-structured breakfast. 

The more common and more realistic scenario is that most of us are usually running hastily in the morning trying to get ready for the day beat the morning commute traffic, get anything to eat, and drink coffee to energize, all without having to be late for our 9 to 5 jobs. 

So as a result, some of us skip breakfast altogether and grab a protein bar or something similar from any convenience store or a street kiosk on the way to work while others cave in and have an unhealthy store-bought snack or breakfast foods that are filled with artificial ingredients and unhealthy fats. So in a nutshell, you either skip the most important meal of the day or you don’t skip it and cause your body even more harm with an unhealthy option. 

However, what you may not know is that there are plenty of healthy yet quick breakfast options that will nurture your body and fill up so you are ready for the day, all without wasting any of your precious morning time. Here is a whole list of easy and quick healthy breakfast ideas and recipes so you never have to skip breakfast even on the busiest of mornings. 

1. Instant Oatmeal with Fruits and Nuts 

This breakfast is not only quick and super easy to make, but it is also extremely sustaining, filling, and rich in a variety of nutrients. So not only will you save plenty of time, but you will also give your body the energy and power it needs to get the day started and stay full until lunchtime rolls around. 

For this breakfast to taste better, try instant oatmeal from scratch instead of the store-bought oatmeal, this way the flavour will be richer and you can customize your add-ins and toppings to your liking. Cranberries and pecan nuts (which are used in this recipe) are great additions to this meal, they add to the flavour as well as the nutritious value.

To save more time over the course of the week, try making a big patch of instant oatmeal at the beginning of the week so it lasts with you through the rest of it and you would only have to heat some up every morning.

Chia jam could be used as an oatmeal topper for added flavour, a stir-in for your plain yoghurt, or a pairing agent with peanut butter in the classic Peanut Butter & Jam sandwiches. 

In addition to being perfect for making quick homemade jam, chia seeds are a treasure of nutrients as they are full of minerals, plant-based omega 3, fatty acids, fibre, and more. 

For this recipe, you will only need 4 simple ingredients that you probably already have (including the chia seeds). So you won’t need to get a bunch of complex ingredients or tools, just free up 20-30 minutes of your time at the beginning of the week and make yourself a jar of tasty jam that will last you throughout the week.
