Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Starting your day by eating well and eating right does wonders for your physical and mental health. No matter how busy you are or how hectic your schedule may be, missing breakfast is never an option. The most important thing is to know and understand what makes up for a healthy breakfast. Starting your day with junk or something that gives you little or no nutrition is as good as not having a meal.

We understand that lives are busy today and most people have no time to prepare a healthy meal first thing in the morning, but a little planning and management can help you kick start the day on the right note. Here’s a list of 5 breakfast recipes that take little time to make but give your body the nourishment and energy it needs to support your daily activities:

  1. Breakfast Smoothiesmoothie

Smoothies are the latest and healthiest fitness trend. The best part is that you can even have it on the go! Collect a number of healthy smoothie ingredients and make a new combination every day. You can use low fat milk or yogurt with fruits of your choice and even add a little whey protein to it. Fresh fruits or frozen fruits, oatmeal, peanut butter, cocoa… the choices and combinations are endless. If you don’t want a very heavy smoothie, you can opt for a green smoothie with kale or spinach with a few fruits of your choice.
