Beat the morning rush with Nespresso’s inspiring and ultra-practical morning routine.
For many, mornings are like an episode of “24 Minutes” or “Mission Impossible”, but the morning rush doesn’t have to be that way! Nespresso gives you a few simple tricks to reduce stress and enjoy the moment more thoroughly. Get off to the best start, with a smile on your face, over a steaming espresso, a delicate lungo or a creamy cappuccino. Who’s up for a coffee?
Starting the day off on the right foot gives you an advantage in terms of your daily activities and well-being. Preparing your breakfast in the evening or at the weekend saves you some precious time as soon as you wake up, for a few extra minutes of sleep, a little yoga, a walk in the neighbourhood …. for a good start to the day… a simple ritual called Breakfast prepping. Want to follow the trend? Nespresso offers you below 5 breakfast recipes that are both simple and tasty. A few cuts, a quick pre-cooking and everyday foods: these are the ingredients for a delicious, healthy and balanced breakfast to eat with the family or to take to the office. On the menu: morning burritos, fruit waffles, healthy carrot cake, apple muffin-crumble or overnight pomegranate and kiwi porridge. Feeling hungry?
A good morning coffee is a must for any breakfast because coffee is “sacred”!
Coffee is an essential part of your morning routine, and the important thing is to drink the coffee you like. Not sure what type of coffee is best for you? Nespresso’s ambassador Virginie Aerts helps you choose the best coffee to accompany the 5 breakfast recipes above.
This coffee lover has developed a recipe for Mug Cake – a small cake in a coffee cup that cooks in the microwave in a few minutes – which she serves with a Gran Lungo coffee. Vertuo Arondio is a slightly intense coffee with sweet Colombian and Guatemalan cereal flavours that also goes well with an overnight pomegranate and kiwi porridge. To enhance the sweetness of a fresh fruit waffle, she relies on Vertuo Inizio, a mild coffee from Ethiopia and Kenya with delicate floral notes. She combines hearty morning burritos with the cocoa flavours of Vertuo Fortado, a strong Indian lungo. She enhances the sweetness of a delicious carrot cake with the roundness of Vertuo Melozio from Central America and Brazil. Finally, she combines the gourmet taste of an apple muffin with the malted cereal notes of a Vertuo Costa Rica cup.
Less stress. More time for yourself…. with Breakfast Prepping
Preparing your breakfast in advance requires a little organisation and planning, but it is the key to lightening your morning and being more serene! Saving even 10 minutes each morning is worth all the money in the world! Breakfast prepping is an easy and effective solution. Before you start cooking, think about your schedule:
- What are the busiest days of the week?
- How many portions should you plan for?
- Once you’ve set your schedule, it’s time for the fun part: choosing the menu for the week.
- The little trick that makes all the difference: use recipes that have the same basic ingredients, which will save you time and limit waste.
- You don’t use all your bread, fruit or pastries? Freeze them and take them out the day before!
Breakfast prepping has many advantages, but the biggest one is undoubtedly the time saved! Like a weekend feeling, right in the middle of the week.
