The first meal of the day cannot be taken lightly. A quick and nutritious breakfast can keep you full for hours and provide you with long-lasting energy to go through your busy day. Now, a nutritious breakfast does not necessarily have to be boring. Rather it can be scrumptious and include the right amount of balanced nutrients that fulfill your body’s energy requirements. In this article, you will find some easy breakfast ideas that will give you extra motivation to get out of bed on busy mornings. Let’s dive right in!

1. Cheese Omelet with Sausages 

What better way to kickstart your day than eggs? Eggs and cheese are a great source of protein and sausages will be a perfect addition to uplift the blandness. Either chop them and add them directly to the egg mixture or serve them as a side. The recipe only requires a few ingredients that you probably already have in your fridge: butter, shredded cheese, two sausages, and an egg.

2. Chia Pudding with Yoghurt and Seasonal Fruits

Chia seeds are a good source of fiber! Therefore, they help promote fullness and reduce hunger levels. Although they are not high in proteins, combining them with yogurt can boost your protein intake. Combine chia seeds with any milk of your choice, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for at least an hour. For that extra sweetness, top it with any seasonal fruit of your choice and you are good to go!

3. Mango Banana Smoothie

      Keeping ripe peeled bananas in your freezer means you are always just one step away from a delicious and easy smoothie- especially when mangoes are in season! Just blend both fruits with milk and a few tablespoons of yogurt and honey.

     4. Overnight Oats

      You read that right: make this dish before you go to sleep so that you wake up to delicious oatmeal in the morning. To prepare overnight oats, simply combine oats with milk, cinnamon, a dash of vanilla extract, and crushed walnuts. The oats soak up the milk and soften overnight, yielding a pudding-like mixture. You can top them with diced apples or strawberries, or even experiment by adding Nutella or peanut butter. The choices are endless. Also, if you’re in the mood for something warm, heat in the microwave for 1–2 minutes.

     5. Breakfast Sandwich

Another easy breakfast idea to help you in your morning rush is a breakfast sandwich. There are so many twists, big and small, to make this morning meal fun and interesting. You can change up the meat (or skip it altogether), use leftover fillings from last night’s dinner, and sandwich with a buttery croissant, whole grain, white bread, or even a soft tortilla. As good as it sounds, the addition of gooey melty cheese will take your mood to a whole new level.
