In A Rush? Here Are Five Breakfast Options For When You Have Less Than Five Minutes!

We could give you all the reasons why breakfast is the most important meal of the day but we’re pretty sure you know the drill.

One of the top reasons why you might not grab a snack in the morning is the usual racing against the clock – but what if we gave you the answer to a quick meal that will help kickstart that metabolism?

And all you need is five minutes in the kitchen.

While you dry that hair why not prepare one of these quick fixes?

Chorizo and Scrambled Eggs

• Chorizo
• 2 x Medium Eggs
• 2 x Spring Onions

Serve yourself a punch of protein and grab a frying pan, chopping board and a plate.

Chorizo is one of the handiest meats to cook and tastes great with eggs. Spray some cooking spray in a frying pan. Chop the spring onions and heat in a pay on a low setting. Add the chorizo to the pan and cook for 2mins. Crack two eggs on the pan and season with salt and pepper. Use a fork to stir the pan and when the eggs are scrambled serve onto a plate.

Porridge and Berries

• 30g of porridge oats
• 15g of Raisins (or frozen blueberries)

Ok, it doesn’t sound exciting, but porridge is a staple breakfast dish that will keep the hunger pangs at bay. Pour 30g of porridge oats to a bowl and cover with 60g of water. Stir the oats in the water and add 15g of raisins or blueberries. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat for 2mins (based on 8watt oven).

Season with cinnamon for a festive kick!

Peanut Butter and Banana Toast

• 1 slice of wholemeal bread
• 1 banana
• 1tsp. of Peanut Butter

For any sweet tooth looking to get a sweet hit in the morning, toast a slice of wholemeal bread and spread with the 1tsp of butter. Chop the banana into slices and scatter over the top. As well as added potassium, the peanut butter is a great source of protein, while wholemeal bread will keep you fuller for longer. Top up with a cup of tea for a delicious start to your day.
