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:
Pancake Roll Ups!
Above, Carrot Cake Pancake Roll Ups, filled with raisins and Healthy Cream Cheese Frosting, covered with carrots and more raisins and frosting.
Step One: Cook up your pancakes, a bit thinner than usual. In the photos, I used 24-Carrot Cake Pancakes.
Step Two: Top each pancake with lots of yum-licious ingredients
Step Three: Roll up the pancakes. Side note: I *heart* the cute strawberry plate from Pier One.
Step Four: Put more deliciousness on top!
Step Five: Devour your Pancake Roll Ups before other members in your house see them and beat you to it!
I always have time for a green smoothie even on the craziest mornings! I dump all I can into a blender, pour it in a to go cup, and run out the door!!
My favourite instant breakfast is a green smoothie! Takes 2 minutes to prepare if I prewash my greens and fruits beforehand.
Favorite instant breakfast is a banana + Peanut butter rolled in a whole wheat wrap…it is so easy to eat on the go and it is really good!! 😉
My favorite quick breakfast is a piece or two of fruit! 🙂
Favorite “instant” breakfast? A bowl of Udi’s Au Natural granola and some almond milk. Mmmm.
My “instant” breakfast is always cereal with soymilk and bananas and whatever fresh fruit is on hand. If I’m in a super-rush, I put it in a tupperware container with a plastic spoon to eat on-the-go!
If I’m really rushed, I sometimes forgo breakfast all together (not often though, I’m usually too hungry!). Otherwise, I’ll just grab whatever is handy like some bread, fruit, or nuts.
Smoothies!!
When I’m in a rush I can always count on grabbing a banana and yogurt. Maybe a quick spoonful of almond butter too. =)
Or, if I was thorough the night before, a breakfast cookie a la Fitnessista!
My instant breakfasts are usually whatever is to hand, my favourite so far was a kind-of-breakfast-smoothie -with -lots-of-energy-stuff-in. So, rice milk, a banana, a glob of peanut butter, handful of oats and spoonful of low-fat chocolate ovaltine all whizzed up.
Yes it sounds gross but I tell you, it WORKS.
My favourite quick breakfast is an almond butter sandwich, a banana and a fruit leather too, depending how hungry I am. No matter what else I have for breakfast, I must have a banana every morning!
My fave quick breakfast is a healthy whole grain cereal soy milk and fruit!
my favorite instant breakfast would be omelet with toast! 🙂
Mmmmm…..My fav. quick breakfast would have to be a smoothie made of TONs of fruit and yogurt, and leave the blender out for my mom to clean up 😉
My favorite “instant breakfast” is overnight oats. make it the night before, and poof! Its ready the next day. I love making chocolate cherry oats!
On a really rushed morning, I like to make an almond butter and jam sandwich, folded in half… tht way it’s easy to eat running out the door!
