Whether your day starts at 5 am with a morning jog or at 9 am with sleepy eyes, breakfast is essential for ensuring that it begins on your best foot. But we don’t always get a lot of time to devote for it.
It can seem hard to find a way to make breakfast quickly, but also healthily. But it doesn’t have to be!
Get creative! Make a batch of a healthy pancakes (add our Chai-flavored Super Meal L.O.V., MVP Protein Chocolate or Daily Fiber Blend for extra boosts) and throw them in the freezer for back-up.
To get you started, check out these 5 easy + healthy ideas for breakfast on the go, for all kinds of mornings:

Home-made Frozen Breakfast Sandwich
Yes, you read that right. Frozen sandwiches are the easiest breakfasts aside from hopping into a drive-thru and buying one that is processed and full of unwanted ingredients and additives.
“Like what,” you ask?
Those hot and “fresh” sandwiches are usually packed with preservatives so they can stay in market freezers for a long period of time. It keeps their price low, just like the nutrient value they offer you. So, how do you decide exactly what goes inside to ensure a truly healthy start? You make your own!
But you don’t have to make own every day. You can cook for the week!
The Kitchn outlines a basic recipe with detailed methods on how to bake and cook efficiently. Modify by nixing the bacon and cheese. Perhaps add veggies or a vegan pesto spread. Prepare and stock the freezer on Sunday, and you won’t have to do anything but heat the sandwiches up every morning that week! Modify the ingredients to your own diet. Need to opt for gluten-free or vegan choices? Go for it!
Shake It Up
Sometimes you really don’t have time to cook or microwave anything at all. And sometimes you’re so busy, you don’t even have an appetite to eat breakfast. But it’s a bad idea to skip!
What’s a good compromise? A shake! Throw in your favorite creamy beverage, greens, and fruits, and mix away. But if you don’t have time for that, we have you covered.
You could also try powdered juice blends, packed with essential nutrients. Lucky for you, we have plenty of those. Just add them to water, shake ’em up and go. So, whats your choice?

Toaster Tarts
Oh, yes! Toaster tarts are something we loved as kids, and something we may still secretly enjoy as adults! But these little treats pack a huge punch full of sugars and harmful additives. Isn’t it a little counterproductive to have that many empty calories for breakfast?
But hey, sometimes those crazy morning calls demand something sweet and simple to hold. Luckily, you can craft your own using healthy, yet still tasty ingredients. Create a grab-n’-go, morning dessert that will keep you on your toes with super nutrition.
