Ever feel like your day gets away from you before you've even had a chance to fuel up? Same here. That's why I'm a firm believer in the power of breakfast. It's my secret weapon for setting myself up for success, even when my ADHD brain is running a million miles a minute.

I'm not always the best at planning ahead, and let's be real, sometimes the healthiest choices don't exactly sound tempting. But I've found that if I can get a solid, nutritious breakfast in, it makes all the difference in how I feel and function throughout the rest of the day.

Of course, breakfast looks a little different depending on the season and my schedule. So, I'm sharing my go-to hacks for school days, weekends, and those glorious summer mornings.

A Few Breakfast Principles I Live By

  1. Protein Power: I prioritize protein in the morning to keep me feeling full and energized. 
  2. Speed Demon: I need breakfast to be fast, especially since I usually work out first thing. 
  3. Nutrient Ninja: I pack as much variety and nutrition into my breakfast as possible. 
  4. Flavor Fanatic: Healthy food should taste amazing! I love adding a little "5-star at home" flair to my meals.

Weekend Brunch Bliss

When I have a little more time to play with, I love making these delicious and satisfying breakfasts:

  1. Omelet: I pack my omelets with leftover veggies from dinner, meat, cheese, and anything else that sounds good. 
  2. Protein Pancakes: These fluffy pancakes are a healthier twist on a classic breakfast favorite.

Summertime Breakfast Vibes

These are my favorites for lazy summer mornings when I have more time to relax and enjoy my breakfast:
