If there’s one meal of the day that really needs to be quick, it’s breakfast. While 15 or 20 minutes seems relatively quick for, say, a dinner recipe, nobody has that kind of time on most mornings.
That doesn’t mean you need to be limited to cereals, granola bars, and coffee shop pastries, though. If you’ve got just five minutes, you’ve got time to whip up a breakfast that’s nutritious and contains enough protein to keep you going all morning.
Of course, if you truly aren’t hungry when you wake up, there’s no need to force feed yourself breakfast. But if you are someone who’s ready to nosh first thing (same), these 23 recipes require minimal kitchen time with maximum benefit. Each has at least 15 grams of protein, which registered dietitians recommend at every meal (especially at the beginning of your day).
Instead of spending your hard-earned cash grabbing something on the go or skipping breakfast altogether (when you don’t want to, that is), try making one of these breakfasts to start your day off on a healthier, homemade note. Plus, cooking yourself a meal can feel like a pretty huge thing to accomplish before 8 A.M., am I right?
