Most of us don’t have time for an elaborate breakfast.
That’s why we force down microwaved eggs and oatmeal, or (shamefully) grab a pastry or two from the coffee shop.
It doesn’t have to be like that, though.
With breakfast sandwich recipes like these, you can whip up delicious and nutritious breakfasts in 10 minutes or less.
Even better, most of them store well in the freezer, so you can work them into your meal prep and just heat one up every morning.
Enjoy!
If you want to liven up a ham and cheese sandwich, try adding a different condiment than mustard and mayo. Mango chutney will add a sweet note to this savory sandwich, like the pairing of pineapple and ham but more mellow.
Make this one vegetarian by using soy ham slices or tempeh bacon. For carnivores, go with Canadian bacon which is usually uncured but can be smoked for added flavor.

Just mix together the pumpkin puree with maple syrup and olive oil for an addictive spread. Make this as is for a vegetarian breakfast sandwich, or swap out the vegan sausage patty for chicken apple sausage instead.

Get the RecipeYou don’t have to eat breakfast sandwiches out of a box. These are easy to make at home, freeze, and reheat whenever you’re hungry. Start by making a simple egg casserole, which hardly takes any time in the kitchen.
Whisk some eggs with milk, and fold in the fillings you want like broccoli and cheese. After you bake the egg casserole, slice it up for the English muffin sandwich filling, and freeze for quick breakfasts.

Get the RecipeWhat if I told you that just about everything magazines and trainers “teach” you about dieting is wrong?
What if you could build muscle and lose fat eating “naughty” foods every week?
What if you didn’t have to suffer through low-carb dieting to get lean? In fact, what if you could eat all the carbs you wanted?
And what if you didn’t have to gorge yourself just to gain muscle and didn’t have to put on pounds and pounds of ugly fat, either?
In short, what if I told you that proper dieting--whether you want to maximize fat loss or muscle growth--is much simpler and more enjoyable than you’ve been led to believe?
Imagine eating delicious, filling meals every day...never feeling starved or stuffed...having great energy levels and workouts...and watching your body respond exactly as you desire, dropping fat or adding muscle each and every week.
And imagine finally understanding how proper dieting really works, never again falling for the BS, tricks, and gimmicks pushed by “gurus” and other shysters.
Well, I have good news.
All these “fantasies” can be a reality...if you know how to do a handful of “little” things correctly.
You see, when you know how to diet properly--and this doesn’t mean learning to eat boiled chicken and raw broccoli six times per day--getting lean and muscular becomes simple, convenient, and dare I say...enjoyable.

Some popular pre-workouts are all-natural. Some contain the right mix of high-quality ingredients. Some provide clinically effective doses. But only Pulse checks each of these boxes.
Pulse doesn’t just “contain natural ingredients''—every ingredient is naturally sourced from plants and animals. Pulse contains no artificial or synthetic substances of any kind.
Every serving of Pulse contains 15.1 grams of active ingredients that have been shown to be safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific research.
Every active ingredient in Pulse is backed by published scientific studies that show benefits in healthy humans.
Pulse contains no harsh stimulants that wind you up and burn you out. Instead, it contains a 1:1 ratio of caffeine and L-theanine, which produces a smooth energy rush and comfortable comedown.
We carefully examined 508 pages of scientific research to find out exactly what should and shouldn’t be in a pre-workout drink.
Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.
While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.
Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.
It's hard to know for sure, but this probably makes Pulse the most-popular all-natural pre-workout supplement in the world.
