Let’s face it, mornings are crazy. Waking up is hard enough without having anything to do, but add on having to be to work or class by a specific time, and you’ve got yourself a stressful and hectic situation. Unfortunately, the craziness of the morning often means that many people forget or choose not to eat breakfast. However, skipping breakfast can be extremely harmful to your clean eating lifestyle, as it often leads to excessive snacking and overeating during lunch and dinner. But luckily, breakfast doesn’t have to be a 30, 20, or even a 10-minute affair; if you’ve got just 3 minutes to spare, you can prepare these 6 healthy, delicious, and satisfying meals perfect for eating on the go.
