Using a couple of ingredients and not a lot of your time, here are a few breakfast ideas to whip up in a matter of minutes which doesn’t necessarily cut into your packed morning schedule.

Toast with a twist: Have some bread and avocados left over? Substitute butter for this rather unusual combination with a thick layer of avocado seasoned with a couple of spices. It may not be your everyday buttered toast with eggs and milk, but will certainly pack some good flavors and various health benefits.

Breakfast sandwich: Protein is an essential component which must be included in our day to day diet. Make a protein rich combo sandwich using simple ingredients like avocado, eggs, cheddar cheese to form the filling for your toasted bread or even a muffin. Power packed and loaded with protein.

Microwaved egg: Have a couple of jumbo eggs in your fridge and some milk? Whip up this two-minute recipe for breakfast.
