Build a breakfast →What is the quickest breakfast?
Yoghurt with banana and nuts, or cottage cheese with berries — five minutes, no stove. With ten minutes, make scrambled eggs with tomato and toast the bread.
Do I have to eat breakfast?
No. The healthy plate method does not demand three meals a day. But if you do eat breakfast, add protein to the grain so the fullness lasts until lunch.
What to cook for breakfast without eggs?
Porridge with cottage cheese and banana, Greek yoghurt with apple and almonds, or toast with hard cheese and tomato.
