There is no time! Luckily, we can fix that problem with these super easy and healthy no-cook breakfast ideas. These are wholesome, delicious, and filling meals that you can take with you on the go.

#1. Chia seed pudding with Greek yogurt
This pudding is one of the most sought-after breakfast items right now because of its tremendous health benefits. Chia seed pudding with Greek yogurt will delight your tastebuds while also filling you up for the rest of the morning. The best part about it is that it does not require much work at all. All you will need to do is combine chia seeds, yogurt, and a little milk in a jar the night before, pop that in the fridge, and you are all set. In the morning, scoop some more fresh yogurt into the jar, stir to combine, and serve. Take this meal to an even higher level by topping it with fresh berries and fruit. Here’s my complete recipe for chia seed pudding with Greek yogurt.
#2. Greek yogurt with granola and berries
This is a well-renowned breakfast combo that is as delicious as it is filling – two very important aspects for any breakfast meal. There’s literally no work to preparing this meal besides scooping yogurt into a bowl and topping it with granola and berries. Regardless, I have a recipe for this meal in which I give measurement guidelines. Also, I give recommendations for what types of yogurt, berries, and granola to go for, as well as some awesome substitutes to consider for each. Here is the recipe. Otherwise, this is a meal that is ready in one minute and should really be the one that saves your morning when you just can’t cook. No reason to miss breakfast when you can make this combo.
#3. Overnight oats with fruits and berries
Third on my list of healthy no-cook breakfast ideas is overnight oats – another easy-to-make breakfast meal that is nutritious and filling. Like my chia seed pudding recipe, this meal also requires to be fixed the night before and popped in the fridge. This means no work for you in the morning! Just top with fresh fruit and berries and you are good to go. This is a meal that you can choose to keep simple with few ingredients, or you can go all out and add more for a richer taste. Brittany in her ‘Eating Bird Food’ blog has an awesome recipe for overnight oats with fruits and berries which I recommend you check out. Here is the recipe.
#4. A rich smoothie
Smoothies come in all ‘shapes and sizes.’ I mean, you can prepare them in a ton of ways by varying fruit combinations and using different liquids as bases. It is one of those meals that you can create using whatever is available to you as long as it works. That said, my number one recommended ingredient for a rich-tasting and filling smoothie is milk. I find whole milk to be the best base for smoothies. If that is not the option for you, please note that reduced-fat milk and non-dairy milk options work awesomely well too. As for the fruits and berries, fresh is best.
Throw your fruits, berries, and milk into the blender, hit that button, and the next thing you know, you are on your way out of the house with a healthy drink in your hand to enjoy as you maneuver that morning traffic to work. Just don’t forget to check your teeth in the driver’s mirror before you leave the car. I’m telling you, don’t wait until you get to the office to use the restroom mirrors because you don’t know how soon you’re gonna need to smile at someone. Don’t let your smashing smoothie experience lead to an awkward day.
#5. Brioche with Almond Butter, Banana, and Berries
This loaded brioche is the final on my list of healthy no-cook breakfast ideas. I love brioche for its deliciousness but it also contains many essential nutrients. These include proteins, a bit of dietary fiber, as well as calories which you need for energy to kickstart your day. Because of its high-calorie content, you do not want to consume too much brioche at a time. So, it is important to make it filling by topping it with a spread like almond butter. Almond butter has a great taste, is nutritious, and will keep you full all morning. Spread a heaped tablespoon of almond butter onto a slice of Brioche and top it with banana slices and berries for more fulfilling bites.
