There's no need to spend precious time in the morning cooking oatmeal on the stove. These oats are made in the microwave and are mixed with flaxseed meal, Greek yogurt and a dash of egg whites. Top them with energizing banana, protein-rich peanut butter, yummy strawberries and a sprinkle of cinnamon. You can bulk them out further with superfood powders.
There's a reason wellness bloggers can't get enough of chia seeds. They have 16.5 grams of protein per 100 grams, making them great fuel to start the day. Another bonus is that chia seed puddings can be prepared the night before. This refreshing version combines mango and raspberries and is infinitely simpler than some highly decorated Instagram versions.
Frittatas aren't just for special weekend breakfasts. Make a sheet pan frittata, like this veggie and ricotta version, at night and you'll have a hearty and nutritious breakfast for morning. The meal can be reheated or served cold. It's so good you might want to have it again for lunch and dinner.
