I am such a breakfast person. I will literally never understand people who can skip it. I’m pretty sure that’s half the reason I get out of bed in the morning. But rumor has it, some people aren’t a big fan of it. I guess it can take a little extra time to prepare something. I think it’s worth it… but for those of you that don’t, here are 5 quick and easy breakfast ideas. They’re too simple not to make! Just click on the photos for the recipes!
#1) 3 Ingredient Breakfast Cookies
Yes. 3 ingredients. And they’re tasty! Plus, you can add in a little something extra if you like (think walnuts, coconut, etc.) which makes them like personalized cookies.
#2) Super Simple Granola Bars
Make these gooey & delicious granola bars ahead of time, and then just grab one on your way out the door! I like to slice them up and wrap them individually with plastic wrap so I can take them with me as a snack!
#3) A Protein Shake
This one is an obvious one- a smoothie! Even if you’re not ready to try adding a little green in there, you’ll still have a protein filled breakfast that will keep you fueled until lunch!
#4) Fresh Baked Banana Bread
Make it the night before, and you’ll be well stocked for the week! Plus, it makes your kitchen smell amazing. Try adding in some walnuts for an extra healthy-fat boost!
#5) Coconut Almond Granola
All you need is a few handfuls and you’ll be powered up until lunch!
Have I convinced you to be a breakfast person yet? As an absolutely last resort, you can always grab an apple, a banana, a handful of almonds, or a bag of trail mix on the way out. Ease yourself into breakfast!
What are your favorite on-the-go breakfasts?

These all look delicious! I make green smoothies most mornings because they’re easy and so good for you, but sometimes I want something a little more substantial (and so does my hubby!). I think I’ll try the cookies and the banana bread! They look delicious and they’ll be the perfect edition to our breakfast routine 🙂
Thanks for sharing!

Sometimes Alex makes banana bread and I LOVE a slice in the morning 🙂

I’m with you on the breakfast thing! I never understand people who don’t eat it. I LOVE it! All of these are great breakfast options. Some of my favorites are smoothies, overnight oats, and muffins/breads!

It’s probably my favorite part of the morning! 😉

I don’t trust people who don’t eat breakfast. But really, I have to have breakfast first thing when I get up. I really think it is what wakes my body up in the mornings.
Jess @dearhealthyness
I’m the kind of person that without breakfast becomes a monster in the morning! Is my absolutely favorite meal of the day, my one and only love! Not kidding, I literally am angry if I don’t have breakfast!! I sdon’t understand why people will starve until lunch? How is that even possible? Carbs + Protein + Healthy Fats in the morning rock!!
Liz
Haha, you and me both!! Don’t make me skip breakfast!

I can’t not eat breakfast! Even on mornings when I have a breakfast meeting at 8/8:30, I have to eat a piece of fruit or have yogurt earlier in the AM!
On the go–fruit and yogurt, granola or protein bar, or dry Shredded Wheat squares in a bag with raisins and nuts.

I don’t want to miss my protein powered smoothie with veggies and fruit every morning 🙂
Thanks for sharing your smoothie recipe, Liz!
