Brief Breakfasts - Easy ideas

Never have time for breakfast? Try some of these easy ideas!

to get started—try some drinks and smoothies from this website, or create your own—use equal parts of fruit (fresh, frozen, canned, or juice) and a milk product of your choice (yogurt, milk, buttermilk)
try your favourite yogurt and fruit without blending it
leftover dinners (stir-fry, casserole...) make great breakfasts—just heat and eat!
leftover pizza makes another great breakfast
for variety, mix a couple of cereals together
add milk or yogurt and some fruit to your cereal
warm up congee
for something really fast—grab a piece of cheese, bread and fruit—you’re on your way!
keep frozen waffles (homemade or purchased) for quick pop-in-the-toaster breakfasts
make a batch of muffins on the weekend—freeze extras for a quick bite to eat during the week
start your day off with a good source of fibre—add bran or dried fruit to your cereal, pancakes or muffins
make your coffee a caffè latte—then add a muffin or scone and fruit
try cinnamon toast—just sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on your toast—raisin bread makes a great choice!
have a quick and satisfying start with a whole grain bagel, peanut butter and sliced banana— wash it down with a glass of milk or latte
make a quick hot breakfast—put 75 mL oatmeal and 150 mL water in a bowl and microwave 2–3 minutes—add chopped apple and cinnamon for a change
make a quick wrap for anytime of the day—scrambled egg (microwaved) in a soft tortilla with salsa and shredded cheese— enjoyed with some juice
