Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  This is the time when our body needs nutrients and energy the most, so breakfast should be heavy and well-balanced.  However, in today's fast running life, most people either cannot do breakfast well or they eat the same thing every day.  But no more, while designing breakfast options for this topic, my top priority was least cooking time, variety in the taste and practicality. so if you got bored of paratha, idli, dosa then today I have brought you 7  Healthy breakfast options that you can make under 5 minutes, with less baggage and without compromising the taste.
