Breakfast On The Go | Fitness Friday 7

Hello Lovelies! Early mornings are hard for me and I can't eat breakfast as soon as I get up anyway so this year I have been bringing breakfast with me to school. Here's my typical morning: I wake up at 7:10, I put my computer in my backpack, pull back my hair, brush my teeth, put on deodorant and my uniform then grab food and get out the door by 7:20. Sounds like a speed race, right? That's one of the perks of going to an all girls school, no need to do my hair and put on make-up. Well, you might also be wondering how I can get an actual breakfast and do all that other stuff in 10 short minutes or maybe you go to an all girls school and understand. Either way I am going to share with you my tricks to getting in a healthy breakfast without much preparation time in the morning.

Here's my number one trick: Pack up your lunch the night before. It has been my saving grace for healthy eating. I cut up fruits and vegetables and make my lunches and now my breakfasts too.

Breakfast number 1: My favorite breakfast is a quite simple one and the one I eat most often. Vanilla Greek Yogurt, Natural's Granola with Dark Chocolate, and one banana. This is about 400 calories which is actually, from what I have learned is a little low on calories for breakfast. I chose these three items to have together because you can get some of the benefits from dairy products and the granola and banana are high in fiber. And the granola also is high in protein which helps get the body awake and ready for the day.  I buy individual yogurts so I can just blend in the granola and eat the banana separately but honestly I could chop it and put it into my granola if I wanted but I normally won't eat both at the same time. This is easy because I put the granola in a bag the night before and put that, a plastic spoon, and my banana in my lunch bag then leave the yogurt in the refrigerator with the other foods for my lunch that need to remain cold.  And grab them all in the morning on my way out the door.

Breakfast Number 2: This is also a new discovery but I found low-calorie apple cinnamon crunchy oatmeal made by Quaker. Take a thermos and put hot water in it. If you have a Keruig use that to heat and pour the water into the thermos. The thermos keeps the water warm and then you can add the oatmeal when you're ready to eat it. It's simple and delicious.

Breakfast Number 3:  This is more preparation time but it is still easy to grab in the morning because all the prep can be done at night. Hard boil two eggs the night before and put them in the fridge. Then I have a grapefruit with it to complete my meal.

Once again, thanks for reading. I hope you can find this useful. Also, sorry for the lack of pictures and the weird format. I'm not sure why it is like this or how to fix it.

XOXO
