4. Banana and Peanut Butter Smoothie
Some people just aren't breakfast persons and that's okay. Aside from coffee, a breakfast smoothie can be a simple alternative to food. This recipe from the Chubby Vegetarian is only under 400 calories. It is important to use frozen bananas as this substitutes the dairy for those who are lactose intolerant. The outcome? A smooth and delicious breakfast smoothie that can be brought on the go.
5. Baked Eggs with Spinach and Cheese
For some people, breakfast isn't complete without eggs. This recipe from Sugar Free Mom takes regular sunny-side up eggs to the next level with parmesan cheese and fresh spinach. The egg sandwich can be eaten on its own or supplied with various fresh fruits or oatmeal.
6. Peanut Butter Energy Bars
If you're someone who loves sleep and would love to just have something on the go for when you walk out the door, peanut butter energy bars is the answer. This recipe from Get Inspired Everyday can be made beforehand. While packaged bars are readily available, making your own ensures that you know what you're putting inside your body - and that is the energizing goodness of peanuts and dates.
7. Breakfast Rolls
This recipe from Home Cooking Memories is a great idea for making breakfast in the morning. Furthermore, it is versatile enough that you can substitute whatever food you have on hand. You can either have eggs, cheese, leftover meat, veggies or all. It's up to you!
