It’s 6am. You’re up, out of bed and off for your morning run. You get back to your apartment, enjoy a long shower, and tuck into your healthy chia breakfast oats and fresh fruit, which you prepared the night before. You head into the office for a 9am meeting, awake, energized and ready to face the day.
Right?
Let’s be real: most of us barely have time for a quick shower before dragging ourselves off to work or study. The ‘perfect morning’ routine is a great concept, but it’s just not realistic a lot of the time.
If you’re chasing the Z’s and those extra few mins in bed feel like a non-negotiable, you’re not alone. But it doesn’t mean you have to miss breakfast or resort to some sugary pastry from your en-route coffeeshop. Desk breakfasts are common for so many of us and, thankfully, there’s a ton of healthy, nutritious options that you won’t be ashamed to chow down on in front of your colleagues.
Here are some of our favorites:
These healthy oatmeal cookies are made with plenty of nut butter, which gives healthy fats and slow-release energy to keep you full until lunch time. They’re also super delicious. You can thank us later.
You can’t beat eggs for breakfast. The problem is, those boiled eggs you love so much have a definite aroma. Quit grossing your colleagues out and try this superfood frittata from our friends at Love Beets. Make at the start of the week, and keep in the fridge.
The ultimate good-to-go breakfast. Eat it on its own, or stir through with granola. Top it with nuts, or fruit, or both. Don’t let the size fool you, a full serve of chia seeds in every Chia Pod keeps your tummy full and energy levels high. It even comes with its own spoon.
Smoothies are a meal-time savior for busy people, and adding oats is an easy way to increase your daily fiber intake which will help with digestion and keep you feeling full for longer.
A little sweet and whole lot of healthy. These delicious energy boosting muffins can be eaten on the go, or at your desk. Make on a Sunday, and you’ve got breakfast for the week sorted. You can even freeze them and thaw with a quick zap in your office microwave.
