It is definitely served ice cold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Eggs in the microwave<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Who would have thought that you can make scrambled eggs in the microwave? And not only that, you can add your favourite breakfast veggies (fit for an omelette), like spinach, cherry tomatoes and even mushrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Beat two eggs and put it in a microwave-safe container. Add a handful of your preferred veggies and set the microwave to 30 seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take out the mixture, stir a bit and put back in the microwave for another 30 seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Store in the fridge if you would like to eat it later in the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>The good-old fruits and yogurt<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This one is very popular. You may add as much fruits and berries as you like, and use the yogurt of your choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To make the process a bit quicker, cut up your fruits the night before and add the yogurt. If you\u2019re afraid it won\u2019t fill you up, add a tiny handful of muesli to the mix.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take note to only add the muesli right before you eat it, it can easily become soggy and unpleasant if add it to the yogurt too long before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Breakfast burrito\/wrap<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In South Africa, breakfast burritos are usually referred to as breakfast wraps, with Wimpy having one of the most popular options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is very easy, but if you would like to make it interesting by adding a mild (maybe cold) salsa, we recommend you make it the night before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scramble two eggs, \u00bc cup black beans, two tablespoons salsa and two tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese and fold it together in a whole wheat wrap or tortilla.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you would like to keep a few for the week, make it all at once, wrap in foil and keep it in the freezer. The protein from the eggs and black beans are set to keep you fuller for longer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Healthy morning muffins<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is a fairly easy breakfast option. You can find any healthy muffin recipe from all bran, poppy seed, blueberry, carrot cake to oat muffins and put them in the freezer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you would like to cut back on sugar with this one, consider using brown sugar, and just a little less of it in total.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Fruit and Yogurt smoothie<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As with the fruits and yogurt breakfast, this is quite an easy one. Almost all of us have fruit in the fridge as an on-the-go snack to our busy lifestyles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All you need now is a blender, and then mix your fruit and yogurt together. These smoothies are enjoyed best when they have been frozen overnight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The ice gives it that extra crisp kick in the morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ALSO
