Everyone’s morning routine is different. For some people, waking up early and cooking a nutritious breakfast comes naturally. For others, the sound of the alarm is quickly silenced. Four snooze cycles later, we’re bolting out the door. The morning bolt-and-dash leaves little time for breakfast. There are several solutions to this problem. Here at The Alternative Daily, we’ve recommended a fantastic overnight oatmeal recipe. Other options include on-the-go fruit or nuts.
For those rushed morning people who crave a more hearty solution, a mini breakfast quiche may fit the bill. Simply make a batch of these delicious egg-filled cups over the weekend and grab one on your way out the door each morning during the week. Simple, effective and delicious.
