I posted a story on Instagram...

I asked people what their #1 struggle is with eating a "healthy" breakfast.

(I put "healthy" in quotes because the word means different things to different people. For our purposes, let's call it: high protein, lower calorie, high satiety.)

The number one answer was not having enough time.

(Cough. Excuse. 😉)

Funny how that works.

People don't have 10-15 minutes to make something at home...

But they have time to swing through Starbucks for a Double-Smoked Bacon, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich and a mocha-choca-caramel-drizzle latte with whipped cream. 🤦🏼‍♂️

But hey, that's life. And people.

So, outside the obvious advice of just wake up 15 minutes earlier, here are my three favorite "no time to cook" breakfasts.

Ranked from laziest to slightly-less-lazy.

Let's dive in 🚀

⏰ 3 Healthy Breakfasts Even If You Have No Time

🥣 1. Overnight Protein Oats

The no-excuses option.

Less than 5 minutes to prepare AND consume.

You really don't have time or you're just not willing to wake up any earlier.

Spend 90 seconds the night before making Overnight Protein Oats. You can do this with any oatmeal, but my go-to is:

👉🏻 Oats Overnight​

• 250-300 calories
• 20g of protein per serving
• Whey and vegan options available

I mix mine with unsweetened almond milk to keep calories lower.

In the morning, take another 90 seconds to mix in another 10-25g of whey protein powder.

​French Vanilla is my pick. It plays nice with everything. Legion Unflavored Whey works too.

Want to go full Gordon Ramsay in a Michelin star kitchen? Slice a banana on top.

(No affiliation with Oats Overnight. I just like the product especially the Peanut Butter & Jelly flavor with a banana.)

🍓 2. Greek Yogurt + Protein Powder + Berries

Slightly more effort.

Still under 10 minutes start to finish.

1. 1 cup Siggi's Plain Fat-Free Greek Yogurt
2. 15-25g French Vanilla protein powder
3. 150g of mixed berries
4. 10g of local honey
5. 10g peanut butter

Mix. Eat. Done.

High protein. Filling.
Loaded with antioxidants.

The berries are also great for fighting visceral fat.

Hard to make excuses with this one. Especially considering how incredibly tasty it is.

🍳 3. Eggs, Egg Whites, and Toast (or Fruit)

The only "real American breakfast" of the three.

Fitting since I now live in Dallas, TX. The Long Star State.

But still under 15 min.

1. 2 large brown eggs
2. 200g of egg whites
3. 1 slice of sourdough toast with 8g of butter

📊 Macros Calories: 452 Protein: 38g | Carbs: 31g | Fat: 18g

OR if you're trying to keep calories and carbs lower:

• Swap the toast for 150g of mixed berries.

You don't have to be on Master Chef to make this. A trained monkey or my mini goldendoodle Cali could probably handle it.

(Cali, if you're reading this: I love you, but you'd absolutely set the kitchen on fire.)

Total time from fridge to face: 15 minutes.

There you have it.

You've got three options. Pick one.

Or if you're a beast of a man like me, you might combine two of the three for a seriously manly bro-tein breakfast. 💪

I used to combine #1 and #3. Right now I'm loving the #2 and #3 combo (no toast).

The next time the "I don't have time" excuse pops up, you'll know you're lying to yourself.

Just get your ass up a little earlier.
