Frozen banana smoothie: If you're short on time and feeling thirsty after a workout, you can make a quick and refreshing smoothie by blending a frozen banana, mixed berries, a tablespoon of almond butter, and unsweetened almond milk. The frozen fruit will give the smoothie a refreshing chill, and the almond butter and almond milk will add a nutty flavor while providing calcium, vitamin D, vitamin E, and the hydration you need before stepping into the sun.

Fruits: Fruits are the perfect choice for a light, healthy breakfast and can also serve as a quick and convenient snack for your daily commute. All fruits are relatively low in calories and contain fibre, a range of vitamins, minerals, and simple sugars. The fibre in fruit helps slow your body’s absorption of its sugars, giving you a steady source of energy. It’s best to eat whole fruit when possible. For a balanced breakfast, pair fruit with high-protein foods, such as eggs, Greek yoghurt, or cottage cheese. (Image Source: Getty)

Cool green smoothie: Combine one medium diced cucumber, half a cup of melon, one tablespoon of chopped mint, one teaspoon of coconut oil, one scoop of protein powder of your choice, one cup of unsweetened almond milk, and half a cup of ice in a blender. Blend until smooth. The cucumber and melon make this smoothie hydrating, perfect for warmer temperatures, while the mint adds a refreshing touch. (Image Source: Getty)

Greek Yogurt: Greek yoghurt is an excellent choice for a quick breakfast. It is high in protein and low in calories, and certain types are also high in probiotics, which support gut health. Adding berries and other fruits to Greek yoghurt may enhance its prebiotic or probiotic properties. Topping it with dried fruits, oatmeal, or nuts can add texture, fibre, and additional nutrients.

Brown Rice Idli: This is a quick, easy, and super-healthy recipe that you can enjoy every day. First, wash and soak brown rice, urad dal, and fenugreek seeds. Then, blend them together with some poha until you get a smooth paste. Let the batter ferment for 6-7 hours, and then use it to make steamed idlis. You can store the batter in the fridge and use it for up to three days. Enjoy your idlis with sambar or coconut chutney! (Image Source: Getty)

Whole grain toast: Whole grain toast is high in fibre and complex carbs. These digest slowly, help you feel full for longer, and are less likely to raise blood sugar levels than breads or pastries made with white flour. You can pair whole wheat toast with many foods, including mashed egg and tomato, unsweetened whole peanut butter and banana, and honey. (Image Source: Getty)

Mango lassi: They are delightfully simple: blend two cups of Greek yogurt, one sliced mango, and a little water as needed. It might require some honey for sweetness, or for a bit of fun, garnish with fresh mint. (Image Source: Getty)

Oatmeal: On nights when you have a ton of work and know you won't get much sleep, try making breakfast in advance. This way, you can save some time in the morning. In a mason jar or an insulated food container, add rolled oats and fill it halfway with almond milk. You can add strawberries, mangoes, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, or any other toppings you like. Finally, add some cinnamon powder and seal the jar. The next morning, just open the jar, add a sweetener, and enjoy your breakfast! (Image Source: Getty)

Almond butter overnight oats: Since oats are in fibre, they are also a great source of B vitamins to keep you energized and alert. You can start your day with chilled overnight oats. All you need to do is before bed, combine a half cup of rolled oats, one cup of unsweetened almond milk, one tablespoon of almond butter, and one tablespoon of chia seeds in a mason jar. Store it in the fridge, and in the morning, you can enjoy it by sprinkling some nuts or fruits for a fresh and nutrition-packed breakfast. (Image Source: Getty)

Eggs: Eggs are a great choice for a simple and nutritious breakfast. They are a good source of protein, which is essential for muscle growth and maintenance, and can help you feel full. Enjoy your eggs with other nutritious foods, such as whole grain toast, whole fruit, or sautéed vegetables. (Image Source: Getty)
