The 10-Minute Advantage: Healthy Breakfast Ideas for Busy Mornings

Breakfast should be a non-negotiable meal, especially for a busy professional. It kickstarts your metabolism, stabilizes blood sugar, and prevents mid-morning energy crashes. The perfect healthy breakfast must be quick, high in protein, and rich in fiber.

Here are three simple ideas that take less than $\text{10}$ minutes to assemble.

1. High-Protein Sprout Salad (Protein Power)

• Why It's Great: Sprouts are protein-packed, easy to digest, and take almost no cooking time.

• The Idea: Keep a batch of your homemade sprouts (mung, moth) ready in the fridge. Mix $\text{1}$ cup of sprouts with chopped onion, tomato, coriander, a squeeze of lemon, and a tiny dash of your cold-pressed sesame oil for flavor.

• Time: $\text{3}$ minutes.

2. Savory Oats (Upma Style)

• Why It's Great: Oats provide complex carbohydrates and soluble fiber for sustained energy.

• The Idea: Sauté chopped veggies (pre-chopped from your batch prep) in a teaspoon of your cold-pressed groundnut oil. Add spices and quick-cooking rolled oats and water. Cook for $\text{5}$ minutes.

• Boost: Stir in some crumbled paneer or a scoop of boiled chickpeas for extra protein.

3. Greek Yogurt and Flaxseed Bowl

• Why It's Great: High protein (yogurt) + high fiber and Omega-3s (flaxseeds) for satiety.

• The Idea: Combine plain Greek yogurt with berries, $\text{1}$ tablespoon of flaxseeds, and a pinch of cinnamon. You can prepare this the night before (like overnight oats) for zero morning prep.

• Time: $\text{1}$ minute.

The Rule: Never skip breakfast. These $\text{10}$-minute options ensure you fuel your body right to tackle a demanding day.
