Waking up is hard enough without having anything to do, but add on having to be to work or class by a specific time, and you’ve got yourself a stressful and hectic situation. Unfortunately, the craziness of the morning often means that many people forget or choose not to eat breakfast. However, skipping breakfast can be extremely harmful to your clean eating lifestyle, as it often leads to excessive snacking and overeating during lunch and dinner. But luckily, breakfast doesn’t have to be a 30, 20, or even a 10 minute affair; if you’ve got just 3 minutes to spare, you can prepare these 6 healthy, delicious, and satisfying meals perfect for eating on-the-go.

  1. I was wondering if you could substitute regular plain yogurt for the Greek yogurt? I have tried and tried and just cannot get used to the taste of Greek yogurt.

  2. Patty Hawk says:

    Tried the banana and tortilla, the Muesli, and the cottage cheese and tomato and loved them all. The recipes are delicious and quick and I love your photography!!! Great ideas!

  3. Gail pelton says:

    Loved the Yogurt with Pistachios and Honey. That will become my go-to sweet thing! And with Autumn right around the corner – Pumpkin Pie Yogurt sounds yummy!.
    Banana/peanut butter roll-ups are reminicent of my Gram’s PB & banana sandwiches that she made me for lunch. Can’t wait to try them.

    1. Gail – So happy you enjoyed them! Megan has some wonderful ideas! So happy to have her on board. 🙂

  4. You always have such great ideas. It’s easy to get stuck in a rut and have the same food over and over. Thanks for the variety. I’m looking forward to trying some of these.

  5. Diane Dreyling says:

    These ideas are great. The pictures make me want to try them all and get out of my daily bowl of cereal rut. Thank you!

  6. Jennifer Eldredge says:

    I’ve already tried the peanut butter banana rollup and it was delicious! I can’t wait to try the rest!

  7. Want to try the banana rollup – can someone recommend a healthy whole grain tortilla?

    1. Maria – Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods carries them. The Alvarado Street Bakery company puts some out as does the company that make Ezekiel bread.

  8. Julia Rose says:

    These recipes look absolutely delectable! I’m definitely going to have to try them. 🙂 Thanks for sharing your foodie creativity!!!

  9. How long do you microwave the sweet potato?

    1. Nikki – That depends on the size of the potato. Prick holes in it and start with 3-4 minutes. Then add more at 30 second to 1 minute intervals depending on the level of “doneness”.

  10. Fyi- tortillas, english muffins, and breads are not clean eating… They are over processed and likely the cause for constapation.

    1. April – Actually, that’s not true. Particularly if they are homemade. There are lots of clean bread products out there, although they are not always easy to find.

  11. Rebecca Bryant says:

    Is yogurt considered clean or just plain yogurt?

    1. Rebecca – Just plain yogurt is clean. I have, on rare occasion, found yogurts at Whole Foods that were only fruit juice sweetened. But I haven’t seen them in a very long time.

  12. These all seem pretty brilliant, but the title is “on the go”, and I think many of them (especially the sweet potato… hmm) are not “on the go” options at all. Just a thought you might want to consider!

    1. Lindsey – I take them on-the-go all the time! 🙂 I just put them in a travel container and I eat it while I sit in traffic.
