Quick Breakfast Recipes in 5 Minutes
A healthy breakfast should provide ample amount of protein, carbohydrates and fats. Starting with a slice of whole-wheat bread, or a waffle takes care of the latter two; the protein (and extra fat) can be added by spreading natural peanut, almond or sesame butter, cream cheese or hummus on top.
So even simplest of the thing like a toasted wholewheat bread with spread like nut butter, or a cream cheese with half a piece of fruit is good enough, if you can take out just 5 minutes in the morning.
But you can not eat a toast with butter and piece of fruit everyday, we all need variety. So you can try out some of the other healthy breakfast recipes mentioned here. Plain, low-fat yogurt as a protein-filled starter can be mixed with chopped fruit, honey and a handful of mixed nuts for the carbohydrate and fat content like two parfait recipes here and Chocolate Parfait recipe . Overnight Oats are another option for a quick grab and go breakfast option.
To add more speed, these ingredients can be added to a blender with a little milk and pureed to make a quick breakfast smoothie like this Blueberry and Banana smoothie , 2 Minutes Green Smoothie, Strawberry smoothie, Immunity boosting Pink Vegan smoothie .
