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!
Favourite instant breakfast would probably be a larabar or a peanut butter & jam sandwich 🙂
My fave instant breakfast is definitely a Strawberry-Chocolate Smoothie. I mix-in a scoop of chocolate protein powder (would LOVE to try Vega’s new Choc-o-lat flave) together with frozen strawberries, ice, almond milk, maca, cinnamon and some dark chocolate chips. A quick & delicious start that keeps me energized all morning long!
Keep up the amazing work Katie! xo.
Haha, I just can’t do an instant breakfast!! Even if I’m running late, I always must make my beloved stove-top oat bran. These days, I’m making a soymilk+almondmilk or hempmilk/banana/flax/pinch-of-salt base with a toppings bar of honey roasted PB, dried turkish figs, homemade warm blueberry compote, and ARTISANA COCONUT BUTTER blobs! Yes, not instant. But I can’t do without it. And I can make it in less than 25 mins and eat it in less than 15. =)
hmm, i don’t really do instant breakfasts much, but if i must, it’ll usually be fruit with peanut butter or sometimes a protein bar. however, it’s pretty easy to just grab and go toast too and if anticipating a busy morning, i like overnight oats 🙂
If I really have no time, then I’ll just grab a banana. Totally still hungry afterwards, but I guess it’s better than nothing.
A peanut butter and banana sandwich 🙂
my favorite “in a rush” breakfast is to add protein powder (esp syntrax cappucino flav!) to my milk for my my coffee, blend in the magic bullet, grab and apple, and go! so im at least getting a good 20grams of protein and killing 2 birds with one stone.
My favorite instant breakfast on rushed mornings is either overnight oats (if I have had the foresight to make it the night before) or fruit cereal (YUMMMM!)
My favorite quick breakfast is a banana that has taken a dip in the almond butter jar!
Favorite instant breakfast? Frozen steel cut oats. Defrost, add cinnamon and fruit, and I’m good to go!
