10 Healthy Ideas For Quick No Bake Breakfasts

Everyone is juggling a million things in today’s day and age. Work, family, career, relationships, friends, hobbies, school activities and more are filling up calendars. When I talk with guests of at our weight loss retreat and ask what their biggest challenges are, one of them is always time. There is little to no time to prepare food — healthy food at that. When you’re running out the door and running from appointment to appointment all day, it’s hard to even think about stopping to make a healthy meal. In addition, I found out that many of our guests don’t like to cook or just simply like to save time in the morning by not having to cook.

What I thought might be helpful was to create some super simple breakfasts that still taste great but don’t need to be cooked. Most require assembly only but a few may require a toaster or microwave at the most. Best of all, you could interchange these with lunch if need be as well. These can be made in just a few minutes so you can get out the door with a satisfying, healthy start to the day.
