Waffles are so last year.

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

    Favorite instant breakfast is smoothie. I usually put all the stuff in the blender the night before, and stash it in the refrigerator. Then I just pull it out and whir away in the morning. 30 seconds…max. 🙂

    My favourite instant breakfast is a green smoothie! Takes 2 minutes to prepare if I prewash my greens and fruits beforehand.

    Favorite “instant” breakfast? A bowl of Udi’s Au Natural granola and some almond milk. Mmmm.

  8. Cellabella says:

    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.
