Pancake Roll Ups


For most people, mornings are so rushed that they’re lucky if they can find time to gulp down a Carnation Instant Breakfast shake. But every now and then, life surprises you with the gift of leisure. The following is a recipe for one of those rare mornings:

Waffles are so last year.

French Toast?  Who’s that? It’s time to make room for the new kid in breakfast:

    my favourite instant breakfast? that would have to be my pumpkin pie in a bowl, based off of your banana bread in a bowl recipe it is soo good. im making myself crave it right now… oh dear. anyways, i blend pure pumpkin, cereal flakes, my vegan protein powder, almond milk, stevia, and a ton of cinnamon all together in my magic bullet. oooh. so. good.

    favorite instant breakfast has to be a green smoothie! i make mine with frozen spinach, parsley, maca powder, spirulina, msm powder, stevia, vanilla, berries and almond milk! absolutely delish and filling too!

    My favourite instant breakfast is overnight oats! All the preparation is done the night before so you don’t have to do anything in the morning, just eat. I like to make mine with a mix of oats and buckwheat, chia seeds, almond milk, and half a mashed banana. Healthy and tastes great.

    My favourite instant breakfast (I just started trying it yesterday :)) are overnight oats! They are really nice and refreshing plus have protein from the (soy) yoghurt, healthy fat from added nut butters and, well, carbs from fruit & oats, obviously!

    I hate to say it but my fave ‘instant’ bfast is a hugeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee coffee from Starbucks! Don’t worry, I almost always eat bfast–this is just in a REAL pinch.

    My ideal pancake roll up filling wise…hazelnut hummus! I made it the other day and it was gorgeous 😀
    Favourite on the go breakfast – it’s all about the green monsters 😛 packed with cereal, milk, yogurt, banana, spinach….win!

  11. Megan says:

    For those rushed mornings, I’ll just grab some dry cereal in a baggie and a banana on-the-go.

  12. Alisa says:

    PB&J!

    I typically eat a pretty substantial breakfast; egg whites, oats, fruit and milk but in an emergency my go-to instant breakfast is cereal in a ziploc bag and a protein shake (I don’t like the “foamy-ness” of a shake right after its blended so I pre-make a couple at a time and keep in my fridge so they have time to “rest”). Only takes a minute to dump cereal in a baggie and grab the shake and I am out the door

  15. Rachel says:

    if i want an instant breakfast i usually prepare it the night before, i’ll put frozen bread/frozen muffin/frozen something in the fridge and it’s thawed out by the morning. i usually like to spend time making my breakfasts, maybe it’s the art major in me that enjoys creating (you should see my bowls of cereal…fancy!) rather than having things in a snap 🙂

    My favorite instant breakfast is oatmeal. I put it in baggies (usually with fruit or some other topping) so I can add water and heat it up at work. I wouuld love to try the Vega shakes!
