I can make sure all my kids get breakfast, but it’s a meal I struggle with myself. If I skip breakfast, I get brain fog morning about mid-morning. However, I don’t want to spend a lot of time getting hung up on making something or, better yet, cleaning up. So here are my go-to breakfast fixes.
Super hurry
Two boiled eggs
A banana and a couple of handfuls of almonds or pistachios
Low-fat cottage cheese with fruit added, preferably blueberries or pineapple. This grosses my daughter out. 🤣
Moderate rush
Toast with avocado and light salt
Non-fat, plain Greek yogurt with a heaping teaspoon of peanut butter, sliced banana, and drizzled with honey. Sometimes I will add 1/4 cup quick oatmeal to this for some extra power.
½ cup of quick oatmeal made with almond milk and topped with whatever fruit and/or nuts I have on hand.
Take my time - a rare treat
Toast with avocado, light salt, topped with a poached egg
Egg Scramble with sliced mushrooms and fresh spinach
Challah Bread French toast with sliced strawberries – the kids make this for me when they want on my good side. 😉
