Quick And Healthy Breakfast Ideas

Okay, so this idea of a healthy breakfast is the “most important meal of the day”? Yeah, that’s kinda outdated. If you love your breakfast, that might be a major bummer. But there’s some good news. As long as you keep it healthy (not parathas with butter or sugar-loaded cereal every morning), breakfast will still have a huge role to play in your life.

The bottom line is, you know nutrition is important. And so do we. The proof of that is the healthy meals we provide to all our residents at Stanza Living residences. And we believe a nutritious diet should be a part of everyone’s daily calendar, Stanzen or not. But given your hectic schedule, it might be hard to squeeze those macro and micronutrients in. So we’ve put together a few healthy breakfast ideas you can easily make in under 10 mins. They’re a great way to kickstart the day. And to keep your body functioning at the top for the remaining 23 hours and 50 minutes.

Poha

An easy-to-make healthy breakfast, Poha is nutrition-packed with subtle flavours. The Maharashtrian specialty is extremely rich in proteins and fiber. You can also add some chilies and peanuts to bring some crunchiness. It can be made in under 10 mins and will become your morning buddy. Especially if you’re breaking up your long-term relationship with those extra calories.

Scrambled eggs

Breakfast without eggs? Come on. One form of eggs or another is found on breakfast tables around the world. Especially scrambled eggs, since it’s super beginner-friendly. You can never go wrong with the simple version of it. But if you want to Masterchef it up a bit, you can always try Gordon Ramsay’s special recipe with milk and butter for that extra gooey-ness. Even if you mess it up, Ramsay won’t be around to go %#^$%^# on you.

Egg Bhurji

If you’re not a fan of the western variant, but can’t do without the protein from eggs, definitely try this recipe. Add some cumin seeds with oil and a few slices of tomatoes, onions, and green chilies. And of course, eggs. There, you have gone, from Gordon Ramsay’s scrambled eggs to Jaikishan Egg Corner egg bhurji, in minutes.

Oats

We can’t talk about quick recipes and not mention a bowl of oats. Be it the porridge version with milk (avoid the sugary instant oats though). Or a savoury style plate of oats with some green veggies. You’ll be full for hours. And hopefully won’t reach for a packet of cookies before lunch.

Avocado Toast

It may sound a little boujee but hear us out. Ripe avocados, salt, pepper, and bread. That’s all you need for this super-easy breakfast recipe. Just scoop the fruit inside a bowl. Add some salt, pepper, or any dressing you want to add. Mix it about till your hand hurts (see, exercise for your arms too lol). Then toast some bread and spread the mixture on it. And it looks so good, you can totally post a picture on the gram. #healthyeating

Sprouts Salad

All our gym bros would know this healthy breakfast idea. Just soak some sprouts overnight. You can boil them if you want to, but why complicate things? Add some veggies and lemon juice, maybe some pomegranate seed, and munch on it while working. Or bingeing a series. Thankfully, bingeing on sprouts is not unhealthy for you.

Fruit Salad and Yogurt

If you’re on a weight loss journey, skip those flavoured versions with added sugar. Get yourself some low-fat plain Greek yogurt. Add in some bananas, apple slices, blueberries, chia seeds. If you have a long day, you can even top it up with some cornflakes or granola. The best part of this dish is that you can customise it in a hundred different ways. So healthy doesn’t become boring.

Bread Upma

A twist to the classic South-Indian Upma, this version is becoming really popular in tiffin centers across South India. To make this at home, toast the bread lightly for it to become crunchy and slice it up in cubes. Add tomatoes, green chiles, onion, and garlic, according to your taste. And there you have it – a new way to eat plain, boring bread.

Sandwich

Before you get too excited, we’re not talking about a cheese slice between two slices of bread. This quick recipe is what sandwiches are supposed to be – tasty, healthy, affordable and of course, easy. Just switch your regular white bread with a multigrain or whole wheat version. And add some veggies, boiled chicken, and boiled eggs. It’s a good way to get all the nutrients. And an even better way to avoid greasy, unhealthy food for the rest of the day (because you’ll be too full to even think about it).

Peanut Butter and Banana Toast

Some days, you just feel lazy. You’re not feeling too experimental. And you just want the hunger pangs to go away. On those days, you can’t go wrong with the peanut butter and banana toast. Like, how can you? It’s just three ingredients. And they’re all in the name!
