8 STUPIDLY EASY BREAKFASTS YOU CAN MAKE IN 60 SECONDS

Last Updated on January 7, 2021

Delicious, healthy meals you can whip up in under a minute.

We know you’ve heard this one before: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But let’s be realistic: Most of us just don’t have the time to whip up eggs freaking benedict every morning.

You’re not lazy, you’re just hustling—and hustling means squeezing every last minute out of your hours between the alarm clock and that first email. Something’s gotta give, and that something is usually a nutritious, protein-packed breakfast.

That’s why we set out to create ten stupidly easy breakfast recipes that’ll fill up your stomach, but not your a.m. schedule. Our only criteria: Each recipe has at least two ingredients (for maximum nutrition) and a prep time under 60 seconds.

1- Oeat Meal & Protein Powder

Directions: Combine plain instant oatmeal and protein powder. Add water. Microwave to your liking. Eat.

Nutrition factor: A cup of oatmeal provides consistent, lasting energy—plus 4 grams of fiber, 6 grams of protein, and 8 vitamins and minerals, says Brian St. Pierre, M.S., R.D., a nutrition coach for Precision Nutrition. But instead of loading on sugar or artificial sweeteners, add protein powder—it’ll help fuel muscle growth and improve the taste.

Disclaimer: Microwaving the oatmeal might take longer than a minute, depending on the amount of oatmeal and the horsepower of your microwave. Use that down time to multitask.

Pro tip: Nuke this in a travel-friendly container. Boom: breakfast on the go.

2- Apple & Peanut butter

Directions: Chop the apple in quarters (or just buy pre-sliced apples). Dunk slices in in the peanut butter. Chew.

Even faster option: Eat the peanut butter direct from the jar, then the apple. No shame.

Nutrition factor: Yes, apples are as good as everyone’s always said: They’re packed with soluble fiber and immune-boosting vitamin C, and have been shown to lower “bad cholesterol.” And peanut butter has lots of essential fatty acids, protein, and filling dietary fiber to start your morning off right.
