Bananas Are Always Ready

This is sponsored content by BlogHer and Kelloggs.

Even the best laid plans go astray. Sometimes we don’t always get that hour of time in the morning to get breakast and out the door. On mornings like that there is one go-to breakfast food I can always depend on – bananas.

It’s the one food that is always sitting out on the counter, ready and waiting to be peeled. Perfect for anyone who is an a rush. Just peel and eat! My husband eats one if he’s going for a run, and my kids eat one with a glass of milk on those mornings when there’s no time for cereal.

Bananas are high in Potassium, Vitamin C and B6, and a great source of fiber.

  40. On the weekend I make batches of mini frittatas in muffin tins. I use eggs, bacon or sausage, cheese, potatoes and chives – or anything else I have extra of in the fridge. I bake them up and then pack them up and freeze them. In the mornings the kids pop them in the toaster and they are like a gourmet breakfast each day. They love them, and really get their day off to a good start.

  41. cinnamon toast!

  48. Granola is our family staple. Sometimes we just pour some soymilk over it and have granola cereal. Or we mix it up in our yogurt with some fruit and make a yogurt parfait. It is also delicious on ice cream (but not for breakfast though!).

  49. We always have cereal and milk on hand – and they will all eat that.

  50. Our “go to” food is actually our favorite breakfast food. Cereal, milk, and fresh fruit are the winning combination around here.

  71. Nobody likes to get up in the morning at our house, so they’re all motivated to do everything the night before. In the morning, it’s get up at 6:21, get dressed, grab something to eat, get out the door at 6:33, get to the bus stop at 6:38 and get on the bus at 6;39. Usually breakfast is bagels.
