So tell me, besides your latest Saturday brunch at Union Cafe, what has your most recent, ACTUAL breakfast meal been? A protein bar? Cereal? Scrambled eggs?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let me tell you something: you deserve better than that. Your body and mind deserve better than that. As college students, we neglect proper, nutritious breakfasts every day in favor of 20 more minutes of sleep or a longer shower. But you shouldn&#8217;t have to choose! There is an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rush.edu\/health-wellness\/discover-health\/why-you-should-eat-breakfast\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">overwhelming amount of scientific research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that proves eating breakfast in the morning improves your cognitive functions, supports a healthy metabolism, increases your daily energy levels and improves your overall mood. So if time is a factor in your decision to deprive your body of its most important daily meal, fear not! Here are some of my favorite, wonderfully easy breakfast recipes that are healthy, delicious, and super quick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Protein Oats (with coffee!)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/image-780x1024.png\" alt=\"image\" width=\"660\" height=\"866\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/image-780x1024.png 780w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/image-229x300.png 229w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/image-768x1008.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2019\/02\/image.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Time: 3 minutes (plus overnight soaking)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ingredients:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1\/2 cup of oats<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1\/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (feel free to add more or less depending on how wet you like your oats)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1\/4 cup coffee<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1\/2 cup protein powder (again, I opt for vanilla, but peanut butter, chocolate and banana are also great options)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 tablespoon of chia seeds<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Directions: combine all the ingredients in a mason jar or container.
