With the weekend nearing and cold weather conditions, feeling lazy is the most obvious thing. It is most likely that you don't feel like getting out of your blanket until you realise that you're running late. At this point, you get out and get ready for work. In the midst of it, you tend to miss out on your breakfast. However, that is not the best thing to do. Skipping your breakfast is not a healthy practice as it is the most important meal of the day.
Eating breakfast gives you energy to start the day. It also helps to boost your metabolism and provides the body with essential nutrients. Therefore, it is crucial that you eat something for breakfast always. On days when you're running late, you can try making recipes that are easy and also filling.
