Pancake Roll Ups

Waffles are so last year.

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

    My favorite instant breakfast is a peanut butter and banana sandwich. So good!

    My favorite “instant breakfast” would be cereal! It’s quick and easy and I usually scarf it down anyways. I also like to have a banana with nut butter on the side.

    When I am pressed for time in the morning I always go for my staple of fruit and nut butter! Mmmm

    I will take a piece of bread (toast if the rushed second allows!) with some good ol’ peanut butter and jelly. Simple, classic, delicious.

    On rushed mornings I thaw a couple of frozen waffles on the kitchen counter while I am in the shower, toast ’em up as I am packing my bag for work, and make a delish PB sammie that is o-so-portable!

  7. Jo says:

    Instant oatmeal. In a big mug. Unless it blows up, because then it’s not very “instant.”

  8. avryan says:

    Apple and PB. Perfect combo to eat on the run.

    My favorite instant brekkie?

    A brown rice protein and frozen banana shake… with almond milk.
    YUM.

    For even faster breakfast, a good old banana!
    I love those darn things. 🙂
