Breakfast Ideas for Busy Worker

I am currently obsessed with homemade muesli.
I make it in plastic bowls with lids on Sundays. I put in my muesli base (from Holland and Barrett in the UK. It has oats, jumbo oats, rye flakes, barley flakes and wheat flakes in it) and then I add some nuts and seeds. I like to use different nuts and seeds every day. This morning I had Brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds. Yesterday it was pecans, walnuts, sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds. Pop the lid on and stick it in the cupboard until needed.
Then in the mornings I just add some fresh fruit, like berries, banana, watermelon, chopped apple, pear etc and I pour on some milk.

It is so much nicer than store bought muesli and cheaper too.

I'm an odd breakfast person but I usually eat a combination of the following:
Beef Jerky
Almonds
Vita Muffin Tops
English muffin w/peanutbutter toasted

Bananas are nature's convenience food.

You can make a fruit salad the night before and put it in a tupperware.

You can prepare all the ingredients for a smoothie the night before, and then just wake up and blend, or bring it to work, and blend there.

You can make steel cut oats overnight in the slowcooker.

I cook ahead. I found a recipe on 100 days of real food, whole wheat banana pancakes. I cook them up, freeze them & just heat in the microwave, and serve with organic syrup or fruit.

I work a 9-5 mon-fri I make these turkey sausage muffins on sundays to last the week. its convenient healthy and so easy. my boyfriend and I love them. I use less cheese for mine because i dont really like cheese.

Breakfast: Ingredients
For the sausage
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 pound ground turkey
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
For the muffins
2 cups broccoli, finely chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (soaked in oil), finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
8 large eggs
1 tablespoon chives
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook onion and garlic for five minutes or until onion has browned and softened. Remove from skillet and cool for 10 minutes.
3. In a medium bowl, combine turkey and the onion mixture. Add the rest of the sausage ingredients, and mix with your hands until thoroughly blended.
4. Form patties of desired width and thickness (3-inch wide by 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick works well) by hand. Cook in the skillet over medium heat for eight minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 165 degrees and the meat is no longer pink. Set aside to cool, then chop and crumble sausage into bite-size pieces.
5. In a large bowl, combine broccoli, sausage, cheese, tomatoes, basil, oregano, onion powder, and salt.
6. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Pour into the broccoli mixture and mix thoroughly. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups and top with chives.
7. Bake for 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

I bring two pieces of Dave's Killer Bread (60 calories each organic whole grain) and two egg whites (you can have the whole egg if you choose to) to work and it keeps me full until lunch.

Hope this helps!

These are some great ideas. I've been looking for tips so I dont have to buy breakfast at work.

I make an egg scramble sunday when I meal prep so a few mornings a week all I have to do is microwave. Also you could use that in sandwich form with wheat toast.

I'll do a chocolate rice cake with peanut butter, oatmeal, or a banana with peanut butter on it. (notice a pattern/slight obsession with pb?!)

I usually have greek yogurt with granola and fruit. I have one of those containers that allows me to separate the granola from the yogurt/ fruit so I can bring it to work with me and add the granola when I get there.
