Whether you’re running out the door or settling in for a long leisurely brunch there’s no doubt that a good breakfast can make or break your morning.

We’ve all grown up hearing that it’s the most important meal of the day, but sometimes it’s all too easy to hit snooze and grab those extras z’s instead…..

Well here at Zeek we believe you can have your cake and eat it too (just maybe not for breakfast!) We’ve collected a bunch of easy, healthy and most importantly FAST breakfast ideas, so you can maximise sleep and still grab a good bite to eat in the morning.

Overnight oats

The big bonus with overnight oats is that most of the work is done the night before, so you can wake up, whip out a bowl and enjoy straight from the fridge. Top with fresh fruit, frozen berries or a sprinkling of your favourite nuts and seeds.

To make, simply combine 1 ¼ cups of rolled oats with 1 ½ cups of almond milk (or your milk of choice) in a bowl, cover and leave in the fridge overnight. For added sweetness, you can include honey or maple syrup into the mix.  

In the morning simply add your toppings and enjoy!

The best breakfast

The best way to start your morning is by having a good night's sleep before. There's no amount of caffeine or fancy breakfast that can truly make up for lack of sleep. Check out our previous posts on creating a bedtime routine or setting up your bedroom to sleep better.
