Ten Simple Breakfast Ideas for Busy Families - By James

As a father of one and cybersecurity specialist who is often busy in the mornings, I understand how hard it can be to come up with breakfast ideas that are both nutritious and quick to make. Here are my top ten favourites!

1. One Pan Eggs

This is one of my go-to recipes for busy mornings. All you need is a non-stick skillet, plus eggs your choice of vegetables or meat like tomatoes, peppers, bacon or sausage. Sauté the vegetables with a little oil and seasonings and then scramble the eggs. You can add some cheese and herbs if you like.

2. Overnight Chia Seed Pudding

Chia seeds are a great source of protein, fibre and omega-3 fatty acids. Mix chia seeds with your favorite milk, diced apples or pears, raisins and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Refrigerate the mixture overnight and you’ll have a delicious breakfast for the next morning.

3. Breakfast Burritos

An excellent way to pack a lot of nutrition into a single meal. All you need is a wrap or soft tortilla, plus eggs, cooked meat, and chopped vegetables. You can also add cheese, salsa, and any other ingredients of your choice.

4. Egg Muffins

You can make these the same way you would regular muffins but replace the flour with whisked eggs, cooked meat and any other ingredients you like. The great thing about them is that you can prepare them ahead of time and hold in the fridge for a few days before eating. They make a great quick breakfast on busy mornings.

5. Smoothie Bowl

A smoothie bowl is one of the fastest breakfasts to make. Blend a generous portion of fruit and veggies with milk or yogurt and add a topping of your choice such as nuts, seeds or dried fruit. Try adding chia or flaxseed for extra nutrition.

6. Avocado Toast

Put heart healthy avocado on top of some whole wheat toast and top with an egg or some cheese and seasonings. A simple yet tasty breakfast that will keep you full until lunchtime.

7. Coffee Oatmeal

A fancy twist on traditional oatmeal. Start with your favourite oats and add a cup of coffee instead of milk. You can add a bit of cinnamon, sliced bananas, honey or peanut butter for extra flavour. This breakfast is great for days when you need an extra boost of energy.

8. Sweet Potato Toast

Instead of bread, try making toast out of sweet potatoes. Slice it into ¼ inch thick slices, and then either grill or bake it. Top with an egg and your favourite toppings.

9. Yogurt Parfait

Yogurt is a great source of calcium and protein and can be really versatile. Layer yogurt, chopped fruit and granola in a cup and enjoy. You can also skip the granola and top with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

10. Baked Oatmeal

You can make this recipe ahead of time and cut into slices. All you need is rolled oats, some kind of fruit and maple syrup or honey. Bake in the oven until golden brown and enjoy with a sprinkle of nut or seed toppings.
