Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it can give you all the necessary energy you will need. Best of all, it can help you curb cravings in the middle of the day especially if what you had is rich in protein and completely satiating. Unfortunately, not everyone has the privilege to cook or prepare their favorite breakfast everyday because they are rushing off to work or running late for school.

However, lack of time is not a good excuse to skip breakfast because these five recipes will only take you literally ten to 15 minutes each to prepare. 

Fruit and Yogurt Parfait

Ingredients
A cup of plain, unsweetened yogurt
A handful of berries, strawberries or any fruits you want
A handful of Chia seeds

Keep the yoghurt chilled to have that satisfying taste then top it with your favorite fruits, Greatist writes. Chia seeds can give you the protein it lacks plus it has a satiating factor that can help you feel full all-throughout the day until lunch time.

Healthy tip: keep your fruit choices to those rich in antioxidants to boost the nutrient density of your meal.
