Are you bored of the same old breakfast choices in the morning? Cereal, toast, a banana with a cup of coffee, nothing seems to be giving you that essential spring in your step that you need to get through a long Monday morning at work. If you feel like your morning breakfast ideas have lost their pizzaz, then you have come to the right place. 

Let’s be honest, there is no busier time of the day than the mornings, between trying to get yourself ready and out of the door on time, you have to make sure the kids are ready, nagging them to put the iPad down long enough for them to put their shoes on and making sure that they’ve got something nutritious in their bellies that will keep them going until recess. All of this is a battle in itself. Then there’s hubby, making sure he’s not going out the door with that unironed shirt on and helping him find his car keys for the umpteenth time can take the stuffing out of you in the mornings. 

With all of the madness going on in the house in the morning, the last thing you need to add to your list is a complicated breakfast routine, there is simply no time. Flipping homemade pancakes, stirring waffle mix and frying eggs and bacon are luxuries that are strictly reserved for weekends and the holiday season (if you’re lucky). It is essential that breakfast recipes are easy to put together and tasty and will keep you going until lunchtime.
