Prepping some of the breakfast ingredients ahead of time will get your morning meal on the table even faster. The onions and bell peppers can be washed and chopped in advance — just keep them in a food container and they’ll be ready to go when you are. If the second serving is for a different day, do not add the egg on top. You can store the pita topped with vegetables in the refrigerator and when you’re ready to eat, simply crack the egg and finish step three.
This five-minute smoothie is fueling and packs protein to keep your cravings at bay.

Prepping the vegetables in advance makes this meal super quick and easy. Feel free to cook all the vegetables ahead of time and save them in a container in the refrigerator — but do not cook the egg until you’re ready to eat the remaining servings. Simply heat up the leftover vegetables then fry the egg and voila, breakfast number two.
