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!
Instant oatmeal with whatever toppings I desire (usually berries) is quick and delicious!
Sorry Katie, I posted my answer on the home page. I am very new to the art of comments 🙂
I would try apples, with cinnamon, cloves and maybe a little stevia. I love, love, love your gingerbread recipe by the way.
Thanks and have a great day!
My favorite instant breakfast has got to be- whole fuit! I try to keep bananas, apples, oranges etc. on hand at all times, especially when it’s in season for the days I need to just “grab and go”! I find that’s super easy- also, an example of this would be 2 bananas sliced open with chocolate peanut butter (homemade or PB&Co.) put in there! Thanks for the opportunity, Katie!
My favorite “instant breakfast” is an almond butter and banana sandwich, no cooking required and it’s portable!
rushed mornings? an energizing maca shake! i use 1 c coconut milk, 1 tsp maca, 1 tbsp chia seeds i’ve soaked overnight & some vanilla stevia drops + ice. creamy, filling & some seriously delish energy!
Hey Katie! 🙂 I will most always grab a bag of baby carrots and a spoon full of almond butter dipped in chia seeds on my way out the door if i am in a rush, or even if i’m not! 😉
Fave instant breakfasts, my GO-TO is bread or pita with chocolate peanut buttah!! I’ve also been known to tupperwear some dry oats + fixings and, if i get the chance, cook it up in the micro at work/school 😉 Bombe!

Second Question of the Day: My favorite grab and go breakfast is either a smoothie using whatever we have on hand or a PB&J on Ezekiel bread. Both are extremely easy to eat in the car or during morning meetings.
It only takes me 7 minutes to make my protein oats, so that is usually my go to! Though now that I my Vita, it only takes 2 minutes to make protein ice cream!
best rushed breakfast is no rushed breakfast 🙂 In my world, I ALWAYS take time to prepare good breakfast and sit down to enjoy it. What can I say, I’m a planner and I always make sure that proper breakfast is scheduled. On days when I don’t eat breakfast until after my morning run or workout, I’ll prepare some vegan overnight oats or a filling smoothie the night before to take with me to work. But even then, I’ll have my 1/2 grapefruit before the workout even if it means getting up at 4:45am..as it usually does.
