All you need to do is pour coconut milk and coconut flakes into a container or bowl and add chia seeds. Let it sit overnight in the fridge and its ready to enjoy in the morning. I love topping it with sliced bananas and walnuts. You can literally make this however you like!

3. Spinach, Broccoli & Cheddar Mini Quiches

Skip the mayo, all you need is boiled eggs chopped up, some dill, lime juice, avocados (of course!), green onion, sour cream and yogurt. Mix it all together and add some pepper and salt. This can be eaten alone or in a sandwich.

10. Breakfast casserole

 Make this a day before and eat it over a few days! Add ground beef and onions and cook them in a pan, then add broccoli, cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Pour the egg, cream and black pepper mixture on top, then add some more ground beef to the top and more egg. Bake it for 40 minutes uncovered.

These are some ideas which are easy to prepare and won’t take too much of your time. Leave a comment and let me know any other breakfast ideas or hacks you have come up with. Let’s share our recipes, Toronto!
