Make Breafast Faster

by Shelly

In the mornings, many of us are pressed for time and a lot of us try to make something quick for our kids and ourselves before rushing out the door. So what do many of us do, we grab whatever is handy and at times that means something high in sugar and also empty calories. But, there is an easier way to get the ball rolling in the mornings without compromising our whole day. Here’s how.

1. Make Breakfast-Time a Game for the Whole Family: Set a timer and see who can get to the table before the timer goes off. This will speed things up and make a game out of it in the process. It will make breakfast time more fun for everyone.

2. Make it Easier from the Beginning: Lay out fresh opr dried fruits and combine these options with whole-wheat oatmeal or healthy whole-grain cereals. Whole wheat toast with peanut butter or hard boil an egg the night before and keep them in the fridge to have a quick peel and eat breakfast choice that is loaded with health ingredients. Cook and egg and wrap it in the whole-wheat tortilla for a quick grab-in-go breakfast as well.

3. Always Plan Ahead: Set out the breakfast table ahead of time. After dinner is over and the dishes have been cleaned, set the table for the following morning.
