One of my favorite things about summer is that I have so much time in the mornings. I love waking up a little later, getting a workout in, and actually making breakfast. One of my recent favorites has been banana pancakes that are literally only two ingredients. These banana pancakes not only are healthy but they also are so yummy and will keep you fueled for your summer adventures.
1 Banana
2 Eggs
Guys I am not kidding when I tell you how easy and yummy these banana pancakes are. The key is to make sure your pan or griddle are hot before you put the mix on it so that they form evenly and don’t stick. Even my cousins like these, and they’re super picky eaters! You can even bulk these pancakes up with plain oats or protein powder.

With back to school and work quickly approaching, I am always looking for ways to save time in the morning. It is so hard to find time to eat healthy when your schedule gets super crazy but I promise you these two breakfast recipes take only 3 minutes and are a great start to your day. Not to mention, they’re the same ingredients so grocery shopping is super easy.
Ingredients:
Plain Quick Oats
Ground Cinnamon
Nut Butter
Bananas
English Muffins
Recipe 1: English Muffins
I like to use the 100 calorie English Muffins and toast them in the toaster so that the nut butter will melt. Then I put peanut butter, bananas, and cinnamon on top. This breakfast is super quick but has enough to it to keep you full for the day. This recipe is only about 300 calories depending on how much peanut butter you use.
Recipe 2: Oatmeal
I am going to give you a life changing hack: put your oats in a cup with a little water and put them in the microwave for 1 minute. Seriously, try it! It works and helps cut down time in the morning. I then add some collagen powder just to get some added nutrients. Before I top the oatmeal with banana slices and peanut butter, I like to put my cinnamon in first and mix it all up. Again, this recipe is so yummy and literally took only 3 minutes. This recipe with the collagen comes in at about 395 calories but I think the collagen really helps the oatmeal keep you fuller for longer.
What I love most about these recipes is that they both use the same ingredients. It helps to make grocery shopping for your week so simple because you’re not buying a million different things. Also, with having two different variations of these ingredients it helps to not make you get tired of what you’re eating because you can easily switch it up. I hope you enjoyed this recipe and be sure to subscribe for more low cal, quick breakfast recipes!
It took me so long to get to this point of actually enjoying my mornings, so if I can get into a productive routine in the morning so can you!
7:00am
I start every morning at 7:00am regardless of if I have anything major planned for the day or not. I find waking up every morning at the same time helps me to fall asleep around the same time every night. It helps me to regulate my sleep schedule and start my day. I always make sure to have some water as soon as I wake up to jumpstart my day.
7:30am
I’m not going to lie to you, the first thirty minutes to an hour of my day are spent in bed on my phone. I know it’s a terrible habit to have but it’s just the perfect opportunity to get it out of the way and not get distracted by my phone throughout the day. As soon as I finish on my phone, I immediately make my bed. This step is so important if you’re one who has trouble getting out of bed. Get up and make your bed so that you aren’t tempted to get back in it!
7:45am
By this point in the morning, I am usually awake enough to wash my face. I start with my Clinque face wash on my facial brush. Then I use the Clinque toner that matches my face wash with a little cotton round. I finish off my face routine with the Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Serum. I don’t typically use make up so I find that this skin combo leaves my face with a really great glow for the day. While I’m here, I’ll typically brush my teeth at this point too.
8:00am
I typically like to workout in the morning on an empty stomach so when I’m getting dressed and ready for the day, I’ll put on my workout gear for either a workout class, at home workout, or if I’m going to the gym. I like working out in the morning because it gets me pumped for the day and I get it out of the way.
9:30am
After whatever workout I end up doing, I’ll sometimes shower depending on what it was. Because I workout again at night in the dance classes that I teach, I’ll generally do strength training in the morning since I’m doing cardio at night. After that I’ll get fully dressed for the day and do something to my hair.
10:00am
My morning has already been so busy but by 10 am I’m sitting down at my desk either doing work for clients, writing blogs posts, or doing lesson plans for my dance class that night. During the school year, all of my classes are online so I’ll substitute this work for my homework. I’ll usually work until like 3pm so that I have enough time to get ready for whatever classes I’m teaching.
11:30am
Like I said in my what I eat in a day, I intermittent fast and food combine so by this point in the day I like to have my bowl of fruit as my breakfast. I think by this point my day turns into full work mode so my day starts to shift from morning to afternoon really quickly.
I hope my little morning routine inspires you to wake up early and be productive. Keep in mind, by 11:30 I’m usually already done with 50 oz of water. The morning doesn’t have to be such an annoying part of the day that everyone hates. Doing little things like spending some time scrolling on your phone or getting a morning workout in help to make it more fun and make you want to wakeup everyday.
