Late nights, early mornings… For some of us, having breakfast might not be a daily affair, but that can change. Research suggests that skipping breakfast causes the brain to be more responsive to highly palatable foods, leading to a heavier lunch (and a heavier weight). Also, skipping breakfast makes one feel less energetic. Unless we want to look the part in auditioning as an undead for TV series The Walking Dead, breakfast will not only make us look better, it will also help the body regulate blood glucose concentration, keeping your blood sugar level balanced.

We recommend five breakfast ideas that you can easily try out for a fulfilling morning meal in a Thermos® Food Jar or a Thermos® One-Push Tumbler. Or perhaps brandish it at your friend; because you know what they say, sharing is caring. 

1. Almond Butter, Yogurt, and Fruit Parfaits

This nutritious breakfast recipe is perfect for those running short of time. It’s easy to prepare and undoubtedly delicious – crunchy roasted almonds with sweet juicy fruits and healthy non-fat Greek yogurt… What’s there not to like? If you do not fancy almond butter, replace it with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter for a varied taste.

2. Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

If you really do not have enough time to sit down for a proper breakfast, at least have it on-the-go. This smoothie recipe can be easily contained in a Thermos® One-Push Tumbler, and slipped effortlessly into your work or gym bag. For an extra protein boost, add a scoop of your preferred protein powder.

3. Eggs in a jar

While time may not be a luxury in the morning, your breakfast can be. Indulge in Sebastien’s baked eggs – with mushrooms, chives, onion and bacon – in a jar (in this case, we recommend the Thermos® Food Jar), a dish full of powerhouse nutrients that you can enjoy at the comfort of your office desk instead of wolfing them down at home.

4. Bacon-Cheddar Grits

A little unconventional but nonetheless easy to make and tantalising, this dish takes only 20 minutes to prepare, and can be packed in a Thermos® Food Jar. It is perfect for busy people with sufficient time to prepare the food and prefer to eat it at their next destination.

5. Mushroom & Basil Omelette with Smashed Tomato

This recipe may be a little more elaborate as compared to the others but the taste will be undeniably rewarding! This vegetarian breakfast is paired with cream cheese, herbs and grilled tomatoes. Imagine the scrumptious taste in a Thermos® Food Jar!
