Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it's incredibly easy to skip it. When you have early classes, or simply like to sleep in, it's easy to wait until lunch to have your first meal. Instead of running out the door on an empty stomach, try these super easy breakfast ideas.
1. Oatmeal
Even though oatmeal may seem like the most bland and boring breakfast food, there are so many ways to spice it up. First, Quaker's instant oatmeal comes in many flavors and all you have to do is add milk. After one minute in the microwave, you can easily make your own oatmeal that tastes delicious by mixing in peanut butter, nuts, and fruit for a unique taste.
2. Cereal
Cereal may seem like the most generic breakfast ever, but there are ways to make it taste better. Mix in fruit or even pieces of dark chocolate for a more savory start to your day.
3. Frozen Pancakes
Even though these may not be the healthiest breakfast, it definitely comes in handy on the go. Frozen waffles require a toaster, but pancakes can easily be thrown in the microwave and eaten with your hands if you need to. If you have a few extra minutes, peanut butter and your favorite fruit on top tastes delicious, too.
4. Rice Cakes
Rice cakes with peanut butter and banana are quick and easy to make in the mornings. They may be a bit messy, so make sure to have a napkin on hand.
5. Smoothie
If you like smoothies investing in a blender may be worth it for you. A small, single serving blender would definitely help you make some quick treats. Since fruit goes bad rather quickly, try buying frozen fruit. It lasts longer and doesn't go bad nearly as fast. A bag of mixed berries is easiest, since all you have to do is pour some in and add milk, water, ice or yogurt, depending on what you like.
6. Fruit
If you really are in a hurry, you can always grab a piece of fruit. If you have a little extra time, cut up an apple and have some peanut butter with it.
7. Yogurt
If you like yogurt, try mixing in some nuts or fruit for added flavor.
8. Granola
Throw some granola in a bag for a snack you can munch on all morning long!
9. Granola Bars
Sometimes, it's easiest to just grab something pre-packaged. Grab a granola bar if you really are cutting it down to the last second.
