It’s not ideal for you to skip breakfast, regardless of how valid your reasons might seem. A busy morning? Limited time to prepare a meal? Eating a healthy breakfast doesn’t have to be time-consuming. There are many options that you can choose from.
In this article, we will look at healthy breakfasts you can make in less than 10 minutes with easily accessible ingredients. These options are not only tasty but also filling and can help you start your day right.
1. Pap and Akara
You’re most likely familiar with this legendary combination, especially if you grew up in a typical Nigerian home. You can eat ready-made akara with pap, or if you prefer freshly made meals, you can make akara with bean flour, and you’re good to go.
This combination is healthy and satisfying. On the side, you can have sugar, honey, milk, or anything else of your choice.
2. Greek yogurt and fruits
This is another healthy breakfast that takes less than 10 minutes to prepare. You can get fruits of your choice, cut them into bits, and add Greek yogurt, which is rich in proteins, to the mix. Some people go the extra mile by adding nuts, granola, or oats.
This option guarantees that you will not go hungry at the start of the day and will be healthy while you’re at it.
3. Oatmeal and nuts
For a healthy breakfast, you might just need a bowl of oats with milk and nuts. Depending on your preferences, you could also have sliced banana on the side. This combination is a good source of protein and fibre.

4. Pancakes
This could be pancakes made with all-purpose flour or ripe plantains. To make the plantain pancakes, boil a ripe plantain, mix it with a whisked egg, and mash it until it is smooth. Then, you put the mixture in a hot pan to make small pancakes. It is a good source of fibre.
A sidebar: The measurement is limited to the quantity you want to prepare. Plantain pancakes don’t need extra sweeteners like sugar, honey, etc, because they are naturally sweet.
5. Banana smoothie
This is your best bet for a healthy breakfast if you want something you won’t need to cook.
To make this smoothie, you can use bananas, oats or granola, yogurt or milk, and/or ice. All you have to do is blend them together, serve them in a bowl or a cup, and enjoy your yummy and filling breakfast. This smoothie takes only 5 minutes to prepare.
All the options mentioned are tasty and healthy breakfasts that you can make in 10 minutes or less, just what you need to get the day started right.
