Top Healthy Breakfasts that you can make in no time at all

Admit it - how often do you eat a less-than-satisfactory breakfast through lack of time, or worse, no breakfast at all? We all know how important the first meal of the day is for stocking up on much needed energy and nutrients to get us through a busy day.

But for those with hectic lifestyles, it is easy to let good food hygiene habits slip. It needn't be that way. It is possible to create healthy, wholesome breakfasts in less than a few minutes. Here are some of the best.

Peanut butter and toast

Peanut butter provides you with plenty of energy and is utterly delicious, while toast contains lots of fibre and fills you up.
If you are feeling adventurous, you could replace the toast with a muffin or a wholegrain waffle. Try sprinkling some raisins on top, as well as grains such as sesame seeds for even more goodness.

A fruit smoothie

Put soft fruit such as strawberries in a blender along with some low-fat cow or soy milk. For a thicker smoothie with even more fibre, add a frozen banana. If you have even less time, mix a cup of low-fat milk with vanilla or strawberry instant powder in a shaker.

A sophisticated 'pizza'

Smear some soft cheese such as ricotta on fresh, crusty bread and top it with some tomatoes and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Of course, you could also have last night's leftover pizza, the less posh version and better than not having any breakfast.

Bran and fruit

A bowl of cereal is a great way to start the day, but even better is a bowl of bran flakes mixed with milk, nuts and dried or fresh fruit such as anti-oxidant rich blueberries. For an eat-as you-go option, replace the milk with yoghurt and put it in a sealable container.

Huevos rancheros

Eggs are packed full of protein and essential fatty acids, perfect for keeping you feeling full. Hard-boiled eggs are particularly good for those on the go and can be prepared the night before. To add carbohydrates, wrap it in a whole-wheat tortilla. You could also try lean ham and some salsa to spice things up a little.

Fruit and cheese

A good balanced meal you can get ready in advance involves slicing an apple, some hard cheese such as cheddar and popping them in a bag along with some walnuts. This is great for nibbling at as you are heading out of the door.

An energy bar

Requiring no preparation at all, energy bars are good for when you are really short on time. However, be aware that to be effective as a meal substitute, they should contain at least 3g of fibre and 10g of protein. These are also a good pick-me-up for moments of lethargy throughout the day.

Chocolate milk and a plain doughnut

Rather than a sugar-coated doughnut from the bakery, go for a plain cake-style doughnut which has fewer calories. For your dairy, opt for low-fat chocolate milk. Finally, increase your fibre intake with a handful of almonds or dried fruit.
