5 light breakfast ideas when you're not hungry in the morning
Sometimes we wake up and the last thing we want is to eat a full meal. Breakfast may be called the most important meal of the day, but it can be tricky to eat consistently. How you start your day can really define how the rest of it goes, so even if you need to run out of the door, here’s 5 light breakfast ideas when you’re not hungry in the morning.
1. Fruit Salad
It may seem obvious, but just snacking on some fruit in the morning can be a tasty, light, and refreshing way to start your day. Another great thing about a fruit bowl in the morning is that it’s easy to take on the road or doesn’t take too much preparation. So, grab your favorite fruit and start your day off with some sweetness.
2. Yogurt Parfait
If you’re not necessarily hungry in the morning, but you know you need some fuel to start the day, a yogurt parfait is a great option. Not only is yogurt packed with protein, but it’s light enough so it won’t weigh you down. Plus, there are ways to customize the parfait so it’s to your taste. Whether it’s adding fruit, granola, or even some jam, it’s completely up to you what you want to do.
3. Fancy Toast
Customized and inventive toast recipes have taken foodies by storm. While the classic avocado toast will always hold a special place in our hearts, there’s no limit to how you can personalize this classic. Whether it’s a peanut butter and banana combo, strawberries and ricotta, or even a lighter version of a bacon, egg, and cheese, you can create whatever creation you desire!
4. Smoothies
When you’re not in the mood to eat an actual meal, smoothies can be a light yet filling way to eat breakfast. In order to fill your stomach just enough, it’s important to pack it with lots of punch. Of course, fruits are a staple in any smoothie creation, but you may want to consider adding some kale or even peanut butter to the blender in order to make sure there’s enough protein to keep your stomach filled.
5. Mini Egg Muffins
Eggs are basically synonymous with breakfast, but they can be time consuming to make and aren’t necessarily commuter friendly. Fortunately, there are dozens upon dozens of egg recipes that have swept the internet, but one idea that could be great for a light and easy breakfast are egg muffins. Not only are they compact and, quite frankly, adorable, but they’re a great way to get enough protein without being too heavy. Plus, they’ll fit into nearly any tupperware container so you can pack it up before heading out the door. A pro tip: make the day before and get on that meal prep grind.
Regardless of what you're eating, it's essential to start your day off hydrated. Add your favorite Vitapod flavor to a glass of water for an extra boost of hydration and nutrients.
It’s important that we give breakfast it’s proper praise, and just because our schedules are busy doesn’t mean we should neglect it. So, take note of these light and easy breakfast ideas and start your day off strong!
