Life is busy. You’ve got your plate full with school or work, maybe a boyfriend and perhaps even your own apartment to keep up with. It’s good to have some healthy ideas for breakfast when you’re a girl on the go. These’re 7 ideas for a quick breakfast that’re healthy and filling.
1 Greek Yogurt and Granola
It doesn’t get any simpler than this. Greek yogurt is an excellent source of protein and calcium. The taste can be a bit strong but if you mix in granola, you notice it less. The sweetness and crunch of granola can make this a tasty treat. You can pair your favorite granola with a cup or Greek yogurt or buy one that’s a combo pack and ready to mix.

2 Made Ahead of Time Breakfast Burritos
These disappear very quickly at our house. It takes a bit of time to make them but it’s worth it. I usually whip up a dozen or so of these on the weekend and throw them in the freezer to eat throughout the week when we need a quick breakfast. You can go traditional style with these or go for an even healthier version. When I want to go very healthy, I use egg whites and lots of veggies with only a bit of sausage and cheese.
