Those who consciously choose healthy breakfast recipes know that they will keep us energised throughout the day.
But for those who are grumpy in the morning and always in a hurry so early on, this is easier said than done. Breakfast to go is the solution for them. A quick chocolate croissant from the bakery on the way to work, a quick stop at the supermarket for a filled roll or just a cappuccino to go. If you don't have time for a proper breakfast in the morning, you just eat on the go or at the office.
But these quick meals are rarely healthy and balanced. To help you start the day full of energy despite your lack of time, we have put together 5 tips for a healthy breakfast to go for you:

Tip 1: Have the most important nutrients in stock
To make sure you eat a healthy breakfast, you need to make sure you have all the ingredients for it at home.
It's best to think about what you need for a healthy breakfast before you go to the supermarket. A shopping list can be very helpful to make sure you don't forget anything. It also helps to avoid unhealthy impulse buys.
Make sure you always have a healthy mix of complex carbohydrates, healthy fats and high-quality protein in stock. Find out what that might look like in our next tip:
2nd tip: ingredients for a healthy breakfast to-go
Oats
Oats are considered a local superfood, and for good reason. They contain healthy fibres that keep you full for a long time, while also providing a huge portion of vitamins and minerals.
They are also very versatile: they not only look good in our mueslis and crunchy granola bars, but also make a delicious hot breakfast as porridge.
Wholegrain products
Simple carbohydrates like sugar or white flour may give you a quick energy boost, but they'll also make you hungry again just as quickly.
To stay full for a long time and keep your blood sugar levels as constant as possible throughout the day, it's best to reach for wholegrain products.
So the next time you order breakfast at the bakery, consciously choose the healthy wholegrain option.
Nuts and seeds
Nuts and seeds not only give your breakfast that certain something, they also make it a whole lot healthier. Both provide your body with protein and healthy fats, which keep you full for a long time.
Both nuts and seeds are therefore among the best porridge toppings and are a popular ingredient in muesli.
3rd tip: inspiration for a healthy breakfast to go
Enough theory – we have some delicious ideas for healthy breakfasts to go, which can serve as inspiration for you:
Porridge as a timeless classic
Porridge is not only very popular for no reason, but the oatmeal porridge not only tastes wonderful, but is also really good for your body. Hot breakfasts are considered to be particularly healthy.
What's more, it's perfect for those in a hurry, because with a swell time of just three minutes, our delicious VERIVAL organic porridge is ready in a flash.
Breakfast from the muffin tray
Muffins are a great option if every minute counts in the morning, because they are quick and easy to prepare for the whole week.
The possibilities are as varied as the tastes, so you can let off steam with your creations from sweet to savoury.
Our Guten Morgen Muffins with porridge as the main ingredient, for example, are a healthy breakfast to go:
Healthy breakfast to drink
Prepared in no time and also super tasty are smoothies and shakes. These ready-to-drink breakfast options are particularly popular with those who aren't particularly hungry in the morning but still want to start the day full of energy.
What's more, these colourful pick-me-ups are wonderfully refreshing, making them the perfect breakfast in summer.
Why not try our breakfast smoothie with berries and porridge, for example, or mix up your own creation?
Tip 4: Healthy breakfast to go overnight
For those of you who are not morning people and like to enjoy your bed until the last minute, this tip is probably worth its weight in gold: prepare your breakfast the night before and save time in the morning.
This works particularly well with overnight oats, a type of cold porridge that develops its flavour overnight.
According to the overnight oats basic recipe, you mix oats with water, milk or a plant-based drink and leave the mixture to soak overnight. Top the oatmeal with fruit, nuts or honey and you have a wholesome breakfast that will get you off to a good start to the day.
Tip 5: The best to-go containers for your breakfast
To become a real breakfast-to-go pro, you also need the right containers for taking away.
Weck jars or screw-top jars, for example, are particularly popular. This is because glass is not only heat-resistant and neutral in taste, but also hardly wears out.
So that you can still enjoy your porridge warm when you are out and about or at work, a thermos container is worth taking with you. How about, for example, our thermos cup To Go in two colours? It keeps your porridge nice and warm and also has an extra compartment to keep your toppings fresh and crunchy.

Another advantage: you avoid unnecessary packaging waste because you can use your containers over and over again. What's more, breakfast tastes even better when it's lovingly packaged.
