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!
overnight oats! takes some prep time the night before, but makes life so much easier on a rushed morning !
My favorite instant breakfast is probably toast smothered with peanut butter and sprinkled liberally with cinnamon, with a piece of fruit, most likely a banana, on the side. 🙂 I’d say smoothies but my blender takes some prodding so it isn’t really very instant. 😉
My favorite ‘go to’ breakfast for rushed mornings is (I KNOW IT’S SAD) but instant oatmeal that I pump up with pumpkin, cinnamon (of course), and some syrup for flavor! It does the trick for those mornings when you wake up and class starts in 10 minutes. 😉
Rushed breakfast? Is there any other kind? I’ve started eating Nakd bars recently, and they are so yummy! They’re vegan and raw, and so dense and chewy that they taste like much naughtier food.
Also, went and noseyed back to the post to which first-commenter-Jessica refers. Love love love your attitude. If more people exercised their patriotism by thinking “how can my country be even better?” rather than by blindly accepting all that they are told, the world would be a truly wonderful place.

“Instant” breakfast, eh? I think most breakfasts are pretty quick, but I guess when I’m in a hurry I usually snatch a banana and some yogurt from the fridge and pop it in my bag. But I never have any reason to eat in a hurry in the mornings because I naturally wake up so early.
For me, it’s wholegrain toast with either ham and mustard or pb&j. Boring, maybe – but tasty and filling 🙂
Favorite “instant” breakfast? A banana! Or a Larabar. If I have time, I make Ezekiel bread toast under my desk at work (where I hide my toaster…)!
mmm i would love to win some instant protein powder!
my favorite instant breakfast is a banana absolutely drowning in almond butter! (:
A frozen waffle toasted with some peanut butter is my “instant breakfast!”
If I know I’m going to have a rushed morning, I usually prepare some muesli the night before (soaked oats, raisins, nuts, etc) and add some fruit and green powder in the morning. Good to go!
