Sometimes, mornings can be a mad rush to get yourself sorted — especially if you wake up early to work out before other life commitments.
Whether you exercise in the mornings or not, a quick healthy breakfast isn’t always easy to prepare when you’re trying to get ready for the day ahead.
That’s why I’ve come up with 5 quick healthy breakfast ideas, to help save you some time during the morning chaos. By planning ahead and creating yourself a meal plan, you can fuel your body post-workout and set yourself up for a productive day ahead!
When considering quick healthy breakfast ideas post-workout, thinking about the food’s nutritional value is especially important!
If you workout in the mornings, these quick healthy breakfasts are ideal! They contain both a combination of carbohydrates (to replenish glycogen), as well as protein (to help repair and rebuild muscle).
1. Fig and greek yogurt toast- Easy to digest and contains a range of nutrients like protein, fibre, and calcium.
If you’re not much of a breakfast person but know how important it is to have something in the morning, then a green smoothie might be your best option for a quick healthy breakfast!
2. Protein green smoothie- Aim to choose a combination of carbohydrates and protein to include. For example, oats, bananas, and a natural protein like chia seeds, spinach, or pumpkin seeds will taste delicious!
3. Avocado toast- Simply need to toast your bread and top it with the avocado spread. There you have it — a simple and delicious quick healthy breakfast!
4. Overnight oatmeal- Mix some oats with chia seeds, nuts and some seasonal fruit, then leave it to soak in the fridge overnight, for another great post-workout quick healthy breakfast to make.
5. 3-Ingredient protein pancakes/waffles - 3 ingredient protein pancakes are another easy, quick healthy breakfast! The only ingredients you need are bananas, eggs and chia seeds, which makes them incredibly easy to make when you’re in a rush but you want something tasty and high in protein.
Top these pancakes with your favorite ingredients to squeeze in some extra nutrition. Including some healthy fats, like nut butter, will add some more nutritional value to your breakfast.
