For everyone, not just athletes, breakfast is crucial to starting the day off on the right track but it truly has to be one of the most neglected meals of the day. From the “I’ll just have coffee and a muffin” crew to the “I’ll have just coffee and then have a packet of oatmeal at my desk” folks, bad habits rule the morning. Having broken meals, those that lack protein and those that lack variety can still sabotage your good eating efforts even though you believe you are having a “good” breakfast. The most common excuse given for poor breakfast choices: not enough time. Here are three ways to start your day off fast and different so as to add some fun to your morning and to allow enough time to get ready for work.

This time to get ready for work. Flip onto toast when done. Enjoy.
3) Breakfast Pizza
