How you start your day can shape everything—your energy, your mood, and your ability to tackle whatever comes your way. We all know the feeling of a busy morning: juggling tasks, rushing out the door, and sometimes skipping breakfast. Maybe you’ve fallen out of routine, or maybe you’ve never found one that sticks. Either way, we’re here to help you ease back into a routine that works for your life. These simple, prep-ahead breakfast ideas will not only fuel your body but also give you a moment of peace and control in the morning chaos. So whether you’re a breakfast lover or often skip it, these ideas are designed to fit into your schedule. Some can be prepped in advance, others come together in minutes, so you can start your day on the right foot—no matter how hectic it gets.
Top tip: Batch-cooking can be a lifesaver. Having breakfast ready for a few days ahead frees up your mornings and sets a calmer tone for the day.

I’m not sure why I hadn’t made this before but now I’m obsessed – I had totally forgotten how delicious it is! Each bite is so awesomely creamy and its the easiest breakfast ever. It takes just 10 minutes to throw together in the evening and then you can just grab it and go in the morning. Each bowl is made by simply mixing oats with mashed banana and raspberries, lots of almond milk and blueberries, and then an amazing combination of sunflower seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, maple syrup and cacao nibs. I love topping my bowl with more berries, seeds and some raisins in the morning but its also amazing with things like granola, coconut yoghurt, mango and dates.

A quick ‘jam’ and a spoonful of peanut butter on top of this bowl of bircher muesli is a gentle nod at the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and it makes for a craveworthy breakfast. If you don’t have time to cook down the berries on the stove, feel free to use a microwave instead until they are nice and jammy.

This instant bircher muesli is my favourite lazy breakfast. I love overnight oats and traditional bircher muesli, but I’m rarely organised enough to get them prepped the night before, so this is the ideal solution for me, and hopefully for you too! All you need to do is mix porridge oats with some milk and yoghurt, some dried apple pieces, a sprinkling of chia seeds, a handful of sunflower seeds and some juicy raisins, then just stir it all together and leave it to sit for about a minute. At this point it will be thick and creamy and ready to be eaten! I love mine with almond butter, fresh berries and a spoonful of maple but it’s also delicious with toasted nuts, banana slices and just about anything else you’ve got in your kitchen.

The mix of coconut yoghurt and date syrup is so amazingly sweet and creamy – it really does taste like dessert!
