Now is there even such a thing? Between making sure kids get dressed for school on time and trying to look presentable for work, mothers will more often than not forget to even eat! You\u2019ll find them scarfing down a less than wholesome breakfast at their desks while replying emails and rushing for meetings.<\/p>\n<p>Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and starting the day right is crucial for a productive day in the office. Plus, once your children see you making an effort to prepare a well-balanced breakfast, they will appreciate the importance of having a nutritious breakfast too! Check out our list of recipes below that\u2019ll keep you fuller for longer while providing you with the nutrients you need as a working mother!<\/p>\n<h2>How much time do you need for meal prep?<\/h2>\n<p>Prep time for the recipes below range from 5 to 30 minutes. While most of them can be prepared on the day itself, some require advanced batch cooking over the weekend &#8212; which is not a bad thing if you can see it as an opportunity for family bonding time!<\/p>\n<h2>What should a working mother be eating?<\/h2>\n<p>This depends on the stage of motherhood you\u2019re in. If you\u2019re a newly minted mum, we suggest high lactation producing food to improve both the quantity and quality of breast milk. These are known as galactagogues. Popular sources of\u00a0galactagogues are oats, fenugreek, fennel, black sesame seeds, carrots and spinach.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a mum of a toddler, then you\u2019ll need food that\u2019s packed with energy &#8212; something that won\u2019t keep you reaching for that bag of chips before lunchtime. If you\u2019re a mum in your forties, then ensure you\u2019re including calcium, carbohydrates and protein &#8212; put off the onset of age-related diseases for a bit longer.<\/p>\n<h2>Our healthy breakfast ideas for the working mother<\/h2>\n<h3>1.
