Salads have a reputation for being nutritious but they're not always the most filling — except for this breakfast "salad." It provides plenty of fuel from sweet potatoes and a soft-boiled egg. A handful of iron- and calcium-rich arugula adds greens. Roast sweet potatoes the night before and it'll just be a matter of putting everything together in the morning.
Oats With Coconut Milk Chia Seed Pudding, Peanut Butter and Greek Yogurt
Yes, you do have time for a breakfast bowl in the morning. Forget about gradient colors and cutting fruit into perfect stars and look for foods that will fuel your day. This bowl combines a bit of everything. It has oats cooked in pea milk, coconut milk chia seed pudding, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, nuts and seeds. The chia seed pudding can be made in advance which makes life so much easier.
Swapping sweet potato for bread means you can enjoy the high vitamin, mineral and beta-carotene content of sweet potatoes. Oh, and it makes for a yummy brekkie. Keep things classic with mashed avocado, jammy eggs and whatever seasoning you fancy.
Having pancakes on a weekday is admittedly an indulgence. Prepare the quinoa pancakes the night before and reheat in the microwave (or even the toaster) without any negative effects. Toasted quinoa flour and almond flour increase the protein of the pancakes so even if you don't have a seven-stack you won't get hunger pangs in a few hours.
Would you believe that the secret to this creamy chocolate smoothie is cannellini beans? They provide a healthy dose of protein and fiber and add to the silkiness. But the surprise ingredient doesn't make the smoothie taste like bean dip. The drink is a yummy option for those who aren't into beans on toast, but they still want fuel.
