10 Great Quick Breakfasts

We all need quick breakfast ideas. Even for the stay at home moms (maybe especially for them) we need something easy to fix and possibly even something the kids could help make (depending on their age). Here are ten great quick breakfast ideas to help you move in the sluggish mornings.

1. Scrambled Eggs and Bacon
   
   Scrambled eggs and bacon doesn’t take that long. You can even cook the bacon the night before (saves time for morning) and microwave it the morning for an even quicker breakfast. It takes less than 15 minutes to cook this breakfast.
   
   
2. Bagels
   
   The great thing about bagels is you don’t have to cook them if you don’t want. My daughters have a new found love for breakfast when bagels are involved. Have a variety of toppings available to make it a bagel buffet line. Then you can sit back and relax and still be in the comfort that they are eating breakfast.
   
   
3. French Toast
   
   French toast takes a little cooking time but no more than the scrambled eggs and bacon. Make a batter of egg yolks and milk. Add some spices to the batter. Dip the bread into the batter and fry on each side for about a minute or until golden brown. Serve French toast with fruit, honey, or syrup for a tasty quick breakfast.
   
   
4. Oatmeal
   
   Instant oatmeal can be a quick tasty meal. Add some brown sugar, chocolate chips, honey, or even some fruit to add taste to the oatmeal.
   
   
5. Peanut Butter Toast
   
   We love to eat toast here. It’s quick, easy for the kids to fix and we get a couple servings of the daily grains on our nutrition pyramid.
   
   
6. Cereal
   
   What could be easier, quicker, and more nutritious than cereal? Almost any cereal will do and most are fortified with nutrients and minerals. For moms, cereals can be breakfast life savers.
   
   
7. Pizza
   
   Pizza for breakfast, anyone? It sounds like a dream come true (or a college student’s dream) but pizza really can be nutritious AND quick. Leftovers to the rescue!
   
   
8. Smoothies
   
   Fruit and vegetable smoothies for breakfast makes good on any overripe fruit that you need to eat. Add fruit to the blender, add some ice and milk and hit the blend button. When it gets to the consistency you like, pour into a glass and enjoy. It’s great for on the go breakfasts.
   
   
9. Fruit Salad
   
   Perhaps you don’t want to blend up your fruit in a smoothie but you still want fruit. Make a fruit salad. Mix any of your favorite fruits together as you would a salad. You can also add some fruit dip like you would a salad dressing.
   
   
10. Fruit Tortilla Wrap
    
    This is a play on the fruit salad. You can wrap the fruit pieces in a tortilla wrap, add some fruit dip to help hold it in place and wrap up the fruit.
