If you're anything like us, your breakfast game doesn't change up that often — you always just grab whatever is quickest and sometimes it can get pretty... boring.
So, why not switch it up?
We asked the Mamamia team to share what they make for breakfast — their go-to that gives them a much-needed boost of energy and makes them excited to eat before they rush out the door.
Watch: Mamamia's failsafe pancake recipe. Post continues below.
So! To help you out on those mornings you just can't cop another bowl of cereal or an on-the-go banana, here's what 11 women make for breakfast.
Enjoy!
Chia seed puddings.
"I meal prep these chia seed puddings often for breakfast. It's almond milk and chia seeds and it's super simple to make. I then make a frozen berry couli on top as that gives it some sweetness plus honey. It's packed with protein, I usually have a banana or something with it and overall it takes me 15 minutes to meal prep five jars." - Isabella.
Chilli scrambled eggs on top of ajvar and toast.
"This is my favourite breakfast to eat at the moment. It's chilli scrambled eggs on top of ajvar and toast. Ajwar is a roasted red capsicum and eggplant spread originating from Serbia. It's SO good. I buy the ready-made option from Woolworths (my favourite is the Mama's Homestyle Ajvar) but you can make it yourself too!" - Basmah.
Spinach quiche.
"For meal prep this week I made a spinach quiche. It's a quick and easy source of protein, I just chuck a piece into the air fryer before I leave in the morning." - Morgan.
Boiled eggs and soldiers.
"Fact: You are never too old for soldiers! This takes like five minutes to make and keeps me full and feeling good all morning. My ultimate go-to breakfast." - Georgia.
Banana bread and apricot jam.
"I batch banana bread and have it with a good dollop of butter and sometimes apricot jam. I use this recipe, it's SO GOOD." - Jessie.
Protein shake.
"First thing in the morning I have a coffee, because coffee. After that, I'm usually a) in a rush and b) not very hungry, but want to give my body some energy, so to grab something I can take on the go, I have a Collagen Co meal replacement shake (vanilla is my fave — If I'm super short on time, I'll skip the morning coffee and just add a shot to the shake, with some ice). If I have a bit more time, I'll blitz a smoothie with frozen berries, milk and Keep It Cleaner Vanilla Protein Powder. It's just EASY."
"If I have more time in the morning, I'll literally put a wrap in an oven-safe dish, crack an egg in and scramble it, top with whatever (cheese, tomato) and whack it in the air fryer." - Alix.
Blueberry protein pancakes.
"This is my favourite breakfast and I'll wake up that little bit earlier to make it — I swear it always gives me the best start to the day! I combine vanilla protein powder with blueberries, eggs and almond milk (I sometimes add oats) and make a batch of pancakes, refrigerating them for the rest of the week. I'll also add some fruit, honey and yoghurt — it's seriously so good!" - Sinead.
Vegemite on toast.
"I love Vegemite on toast in the mornings. The saltiness is amazing, with a few slabs of butter and my goodness it is delicious and nostalgic." - Jana.
Scrambled eggs and avocado on bagels.
"This is actually so simple and quick and it always tastes amazing. I just whisk eggs with almond milk, cook them in a pan and throw them on a bagel with avocado. One of my favourites — it keeps me full for hours!" - Erin.
Muesli, yoghurt and fruit.
"My usual go-to breakfast is this! I just add Greek yoghurt to muesli and chop up some fruit — usually strawberries (if they're not too expensive!) or bananas and drizzle some honey over the top. Delicious!" - Payal.
Breakfast frittata with ham.
"I usually have a coffee and two boiled eggs as my brekkie, as I feel quite nauseous if I eat too much in the morning for some reason, I'm genuinely curious if other people get this too. But if I have a little more time I meal prep a frittata with egg, ham, cheese, cherry tomatoes and spinach and cut it into slices and bring it in to eat at the office." - Helena.
Salmon and cream cheese bagels.
"I've recently become obsessed with salmon and cream cheese on bagels — and I don't think I'm ever going back to boring old cereal. I just toast a bagel, spread some cream cheese on top and add some salmon on top. It's sooo tasty. I'm also a fan of instant coffee (don't @ me) — my fave is Moccona caramel with almond milk! This breakfast takes like 10 minutes to make and always sets me up for the day." - Erin.
