Our Millennial Nutritionist clientele is full of busy boss babes. Some of whom are busy with their littles and others are crushing the corporate world. Regardless of which category you fall into, we understand what it is like to have a busy schedule. One of the many goals we can work on during your time at The Millennial Nutritionist is how to prioritize your health even when you are short on time and that often starts with breakfast. We have added five of our personal favorite quick breakfasts below. We hope you like them!

Chia Pudding

This recipe is from one of our own TMN dietitians @yourfavoriterd on Instagram. We recommend preparing the recipe a night in advance for you to enjoy over the next two days. We recommend topping with fresh fruit and a scoop of peanut butter!

2 cups unsweetened almond milk

½ cup chia seeds

1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions: Stir, refrigerate overnight, add toppings and enjoy. Recipe yields two servings.

Kodiak Pancakes or Waffles

We like the Kodiak brand because their products are quick and protein-packed. The company has a line of frozen waffles which have 12 grams of protein per two waffles. The company also has a high protein pancake mix called Kodiak Power Cakes which have 14 grams of protein per serving when the mix is combined with water. You can consider to make the mix with milk and eggs (instructions on the package) for additional protein which will yield 21 grams of protein per serving. We enjoy topping our pancakes and waffles with fresh fruit, vanilla greek yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Overnight Oats

These are another favorite from our dietitian at @yourfavoriterd. Like the chia pudding, we recommend making this a day in advance and eating over the next two days. For a meal that will fill you up, try adding fresh fruit, crushed nuts, and a scoop of granola.

½ cup Greek yogurt

½ cup unsweetened oat milk

½ tsp vanilla 

1 tsp cinnamon 

2 tsp chia seeds

½ cup rolled oats

Directions: Stir and refrigerate overnight. Recipe yields two servings.

Yogurt Parfait

The last quick weekday breakfast recipe we have for you is a simple Greek yogurt parfait. Purchase your favorite Greek yogurt, ours is Siggi’s because it is high in protein and low in added sugars. From there simply add fruit, nuts, granola, chia seeds, and whatever additional fancy toppings you are in the mood for!
