Breakfast series: On the run!

Today we will be looking at a few options for breakfast while on the run! As a college student I understand breakfast while on the run, literally on the run out the door. Here are a few tips on how to squeeze in that oh so beneficial breakfast!

1. Make breakfast the night before! Preparing a simple casserole the night before that takes just a few minutes to heat up can really speed up a morning! What about dicing those fruits the night before? The secret to keeping fruits fresh? Pineapple juice! The juice will help to keep the fruit fresh and moist, and from turning that awful brown color.

2. Plan ahead. Work have a refrigerator? Take a thermos of milk with you to pour over that fibrous cereal. This will also help cut down on expenses spent buying milk en route to work and time! Shop for convenient breakfast food that can travel with you. I'm a big fan of granola bars, muffins, and portable fruit, like bananas.

3. Set the alarm 10 minutes earlier. You'd be surprised what you can do with that extra 10 minutes. A majority of breakfast items take no longer than 10 minutes which means you could be sitting down to an omelet!

4. Stock up on breakfast essentials for your office/backpack. If you can't eat en route or prior to leaving your home, eat when you reach your destination. You'll be less likely to hit up the vending machine later in the day if you already have a healthy option on hand. Students, taking a granola bar or muffin with you in your backpack and eating at your desk is acceptable! More than likely your classmates will envy your focus and full stomach.

5. Be flexible!! Maybe your day starts with an early morning workout or office meeting, that's ok! Whats not okay, a grumbly tummy hours before lunchtime. Try to squeeze in a quick meal during your morning. Having that desk or backpack stocked will make having breakfast a bit easier.
