14 Healthy Grab-and-Go Breakfast Ideas

Everyone has those mornings when there just isn’t enough time to pour a bowl of cereal, let alone boil an egg. Put on a pot of oatmeal? Forget it! But here’s the thing: breakfast is an important meal. And when you skip it at home, it can be tempting to order dessert in disguise (aka a donut or muffin) to go with your morning coffee. So for those days when time gets away from you or you dive straight into a meeting-filled morning, it’s a good idea to have a nourishment backup plan. 

Just Not Hungry in the Morning? 

If you can’t stomach food in the morning, it may be a sign that you’re eating too many calories at night. Slowly start to shift your food intake to earlier in the day by including a small breakfast, and eating less at night. Gradually you’ll start to wake up peckish, which is a sign you’re on the right track.
