Healthy breakfast ideas for people on the go

The traditional Indian breakfast – Aloo Parathas with hot butter up north, or dosas, idli, sambhar, Chutney, down South - is enough to make you think of breakfast as an ordeal.
And even if you are the type who skips breakfast or quickly dumps cereal in a bowl and runs, you are probably not getting the best nutrition in the morning. A healthy breakfast is a must if you want to keep your weight in check and lead a healthy lifestyle.Here are some breakfast ideas for people on the go.
If you don’t have the time to eat an elaborate breakfast, you can just grab any of these as you run out. It takes a bit of prep the day before, and if you have someone to do it for you, then even better.
The hardboiled egg – Boil the night before and store in the fridge. Peel on your way out and add a dash of salt and pepper, and voila. You have a healthy meal on the run. You can store it in a box and eat it on your way, you’re still getting a great and filling breakfast!
Breakfast salad - Get a heaped serving of veggies along with some major protein. Add wedges of hard boiled egg and shredded bacon to fresh spinach leaves. Throw in some apple slices or nuts if you want. Store the night before in small sealed bowls. The next morning, top it off with some olive oil and vinegar. Vegetarians can add more nuts and leave out the meat. But with fruit, nuts, proteins, and greens, there’s no denying that this is one healthy breakfast on the go.
Breakfast smoothie - Throw a cup of yogurt, a handful of berries, a half a banana, ¼ cup milk and some ice in a blender and mix! Add a tablespoon or two of flax seed for some healthy omega-3s. Filling, healthy, delicious.
Fruit and nut plate – This can easily be prepared the previous night too. Put in some of your favourite fruit - low gycemic fruits like fig, cherries, berries, grapefruit etc. are better. Throw in some walnuts, almonds and slices of avocado for fat and protein. And to think, this could’ve been your last night’s dessert.
Leftovers – Yes, last night's leftovers can become this morning’s breakfast. Take the chicken out of the curry and put it in a sandwich. Last night’s salad can also go into a sandwich. Make an extra chapatti the previous night, roll in some leftover vegetable, and you have a filling, healthy breakfast.
