5 Quick Breakfast ideas for busy mornings

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It breaks the overnight fasting and replenishes the supply of glucose. It also kick starts the metabolism and helps to keep our energy levels up throughout the day. Here are some ideas to prepare a quick breakfast which involves no cooking/ less cooking.

1. Bread based :

If we have bread (whole wheat or multi-grain would be healthy) always at home, it saves a lot of time. One way is to toast the bread and eat with butter.

Another way is to prepare a quick sandwich. Just, layer cheese slices, thin slices of cucumber, tomato, sprinkle salt, pepper and cook in microwave for 25 seconds until cheese melts. A simple sandwich is ready!

The third option is just applying Jam / Peanut butter jelly on plain bread.

2. Egg-based :

Boil the eggs, slice them and sprinkle salt and pepper. A quick breakfast to go!

Try a half boiled omelette with salt and pepper or if you like, make an omelette with onion pieces, green chilies, salt, and chili powder.

Scrambled egg with cooked vegetables is easy to prepare, filling and nutritious.

3. Idli / Dosa:

If you are from South India, I bet Idli / Dosas are important breakfast items at your home. Once we prepare batter before the day and ferment it, it doesn't take more than 5 to 10 mins to prepare idly / dosa. If you have a pickle/ podi (spice powder), there is no need of chutney and it saves a lot of time. Check this video to prepare the batter for Idly/ Dosa.



Egg dosa / Onion dosa are easy to make and won't take much time. If you have time, prepare masala ahead for a masala dosa.

4. Upma  or Poha :

Upma might take 10 to 15 mins. Though not a very quick recipe, it is very easy to make. we can prepare wheat Rava upma in a pressure cooker to make it quick.

Poha is the most basic and easy recipe which won't take more than 10 mins. I love this simple and tasty recipe for Poha.



5. Cereal and Oats :

The number one option when we are not very interested to prepare anything. Depending on the cereal, this is a healthy option too. 

Try a cereal with raisins or something healthy like muesli with cold/ hot milk. Also, add a fruit like a watermelon/ orange/ apple/muskmelon to make it filling.

Oats are filling and healthy too. While Oats boiled in milk/ hot water is one option, try adding fruits like banana and strawberry to make it tastier. Also, try oats soaked overnight with chia seeds, greek yogurt and fruits. Trust me, you will start liking the oats. 

So, these are my quick breakfast ideas which involve no cooking/ less cooking. What are your go-to options for breakfast?
