Our lives are becoming busier by the day. Some people find a sense of pride in their business; others struggle. Whatever the case, long workdays and never-ending to-do lists affect every area of our lives – our sleeping patterns and nutrition being some of them. Sounds weird at first, but it’s actually probably well-known to everyone. We rarely get the sleep we need, the alarm waking us up in the morning, us feeling groggy and finding something to wear. Breakfast? Breakfast who? You’ll grab a brownie in a cafe near work. But it doesn’t have to be like that. There are many great and easy healthy breakfast ideas out there, it would be a waste not to put them to the test. You can still have a brownie once or twice a week though – bad habits die hard.

Healthy Breakfast Ideas You Should Try
1. Savory Oatmeal
Oatmeal is usually eaten plain or with the addition of fruit, nuts, honey, and other sweet condiments. But have you tried it savory? That’s a whole other level. Prepare it as usual, with milk or water, which can take as little as two minutes in the microwave. Add a pinch of salt beforehand and sprinkle cheese on top. Or top it with an egg if you have the time to make it. Nutritious, tasty, and extravagant!
2. Egg Muffins
For muffin lovers who would prefer their dose with less sugar, this is for you! Egg muffins can be made the night before, or on Sunday, as they can last all week! All you need to do is blend or whisk eggs with bacon, cheese, and spinach, and then pour the mixture into muffin tins. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden, and wallah! Another healthy breakfast! They can be served warm, or stored in the fridge.

3. Nut Butter and Banana Toast
One of the best things to go with nut butter, especially peanut butter, is banana. Spread the butter on toast, add a sliced banana, and then sprinkle with chia seeds if you have them. Chia is packed with vitamins and minerals, and doesn’t affect the beautiful harmony of tastes provided by butter and banana!
4. Berry Almond Overnight Oats
One of the best healthy breakfast ideas for busy people is a version of overnight oats, where you will combine oats and milk and whatever else you want, put in a sealed container the night before, and enjoy in the morning. For berry almond overnight oats, combine oats with almond milk, any berries you like, vanilla, chia seeds, and maple syrup. You can top this insane breakfast with slivered almonds in the morning. If you’d like it warmer, heat in the microwave!
5. Peanut Butter and Banana Protein Shake
If you love the combo we mentioned before, but watch your carb intake, why not make a smoothie? Blend frozen bananas, peanut butter, milk, honey, Greek yogurt, and protein powder. This makes a great whey protein shake that doesn’t taste like your regular shake: so it’s got both the taste and the protein boost!

6. Cheese and Tomato Toast
Here’s a healthy breakfast to remind you of Italy: spread ricotta cheese on two slices of toast, sprinkle with basil, salt, and pepper, and add slices of fresh tomatoes. Bonus advice: blot slices of tomato with a paper towel to remove excess liquid, so your toast doesn’t get soggy.
7. Hummus Tomato Lettuce Sandwich
Another vegetarian option to die for: toast the bread, add a leaf or two of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and sprinkle with hummus. If you really love your hummus that much, you can use it as a spread instead. You can even make it yourself: puree rinsed chickpeas, some garlic, lemon juice, cumin and salt, a bit of olive oil, and that’s it.
8. Avocado Toast with Egg
This classic healthy breakfast will never go out of fashion. Top two slices of toast with smashed avo, sprinkle salt and pepper, and add two eggs, either poached, soft-boiled, or sunny-side up. This breakfast has all the right macros and will fuel you until midday break, maybe even lunch!

9. Almond Chia Pudding
Have you ever made chia pudding? It’s so easy to make, we cannot skip it from the list of healthy breakfasts for busy people. Simply dip chia seeds in almond milk and let them do their magic in the fridge. You can always add maple syrup or a bit of chocolate.
10. Protein Pancake
Protein breakfasts work excellent because they keep you full longer. For a simple protein pancake breakfast, whisk an egg, a smashed banana, and protein powder. Fry until golden, and enjoy with any condiment you like, or just as is.
We hope this list of healthy breakfast ideas for busy mornings has convinced you to give good breakfasts a go. Some of these recipes never require more than five minutes, and you’ll spend five minutes scrolling social media anyway, right? Enjoy!
