1. Oatmeal
On nights when you are under the pressure of a ton of work and know for a fact that a good night’s sleep is not on the cards, play a trick. The trick is to make your breakfast in advance so that you can at least have a few extra minutes to dreamland.

2. Brown Rice Idli
This is a quick, easy and super healthy recipe that you can pretty much have every day. Wash and soak brown rice, urad dal, fenugreek seeds. Put them in a blender and add some poha into it.

Have it with sambar or some coconut chutney!
3. Upma
Making upma is pretty simple and will keep you full at least for the next 3-5 hours. The recipe requires very little oil and is full of vegetables.

Then take some bread and dip it in the batter. Heat a pan with some oil, and fry the bread on one side and add your vegetables on the other side. Once the edges turn golden, flip and cook it on both sides. Adjust the salt, and your meal is ready. You can make a batch for your family breakfast as well and store them in a casserole.
