5 Quick Zone Breakfasts for Busy Weekdays

Most mornings you only have a few spare minutes, and breakfast is exactly when it's easiest to throw off the balance of your day. These five recipes take about 15 minutes or less and fit right into your block count. Pick one, make it, and head out the door.

1. Egg, Ham and Avocado Sandwich

In the Egg, Ham and Avocado Sandwich, protein from the egg and ham pairs with the healthy fats in avocado. It's ready in under 15 minutes and fits easily into even the busiest morning.

2. Zone Mlin

If you want something more filling than a sandwich, the Zone Mlin (mlin is a Bulgarian layered pastry) combines eggs, quark and sirene (a Bulgarian white brined cheese) in a familiar homestyle dish, adapted to stay balanced.

3. Chocolate Smoothie

When you're really short on time, the Chocolate Smoothie with cocoa, banana and skyr needs nothing but a blender. No cooking, no waiting.

4. Crepes

These Crepes are a lighter take on the classic, with extra protein from skyr. They make a good base for fruit or nuts, depending on your own blocks.

5. Cheese Banitsa Rolls

For a weekend morning with a little more time, the Cheese Banitsa Rolls (banitsa is a Bulgarian phyllo pastry) give you a crispy crust and a rich filling of sirene and kashkaval (a Bulgarian yellow cheese), while staying in balance.

Whichever of the five you choose, you can add it to your Diary in seconds. The blocks are already calculated, so all you have to do is log the meal.
