5 Excuses for Skipping Breakfast (and How Satislent Crushes Them)

Person preparing a quick breakfast with Satislent products

Let’s be honest: how many times have you left home with an empty stomach and a well-crafted excuse in your head?

No time, nothing sits well in the morning, eating well is too expensive…

We get it.

The daily grind, work, classes, kids, the “quick coffee and I’ll figure it out later”… Breakfast is usually the first to go when life gets hectic.

But between you and me: is it really worth going through the day with just enough energy and half your brain switched on?

Breakfast doesn’t have to be complicated.

Or slow.

Or boring.

Or expensive.

And definitely not a battle between healthy and tasty.

Here we break down the most common excuses. Not to scold you, but to show you that eating a proper breakfast today is possible.

1. “I don’t have time in the morning”

The mother of all excuses.

The alarm rings. You snooze. It rings again. Snooze again. Suddenly, you’re showered, in a half-wrinkled shirt, rushing to catch the train or open your laptop just in time for the first meeting.

And breakfast? Where does that fit?

“I’ll grab something on the way.”

Spoiler: you don’t. Or you grab the wrong thing.

With us, you don’t need more than 60 seconds to have breakfast. Really.

One scoop, cold water, shaker. Shake it. Drink it while you check your emails, hop on the bus, or wait for your first class.

And if that still sounds like too much… we’ve got our compact bars.

No mess, no weight, no squashing in your bag. Three bites, and you’ve got 20% of your daily nutrients covered. Easier than that? Impossible.

Realistic bonus: you can also prep it the night before. Keep it in the fridge, and it tastes even better.

2. “Nothing sits well that early”

There are two types of people:

A) Those who wake up hungrier than after running a marathon.

B) Those who look at breakfast like a betrayal to their stomach.

If you’re group B, this one’s for you.

Some say:

“Until 11, nothing goes down. All I want is coffee and silence.”

We get it. But your body doesn’t understand silence. It needs fuel. Even a little.

Our shakes are designed to go down smoothly, without upsetting your stomach.

They’re not heavy, not cloying, and definitely don’t taste like “vanilla and damp cardboard.”

The texture is just right, the flavors are real and delicious, and you can sip them slowly, like a coffee with a little more self-respect.

And if you simply don’t feel like finishing it today, you can have just half a shake, store the rest in the fridge, and finish it later. Breakfast doesn’t need to be an event — it can be a process.

3. “Eating well in the morning is too expensive”

Let’s be clear here.

A nutritious, complete breakfast with protein, healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins…

They’ll sell it to you for €5, €7, €10 if it includes “Japanese matcha” or “oats blessed by Tibetan monks.”

And of course, if you think eating well costs that every day, no wonder you say: “Forget it.”

At Satislent, you can have nutritionally complete breakfasts for €1.4 per serving.

Yes, you read that right. Less than your coffee + industrial croissant.

And what do you get in return?

  • Real, local ingredients, like extra virgin olive oil or Canary Island gofio

  • All the vitamins and minerals your body needs

  • Healthy fats like extra virgin olive oil

  • Formulas developed by experts to fuel your energy from the very first minute of the day

And if you haven’t tried it yet, we’ve got the Taste Pack with all the flavors and all the formats. Try them all without committing. Neither your wallet nor your stomach will complain.

4. “Quick meals always tastes like cardboard”

This one’s classic among skeptics.

“If it’s powder or a bar, it probably tastes like nothing. Or worse, like a chemical shake that makes me feel sick.”

We know where that trauma comes from: products claiming to be healthy but with the texture of cement and the flavor of hospital food.

At Satislent, we take this seriously: if it doesn’t taste good, it doesn’t work. Period.

Our flavors are rich, balanced, and real. We don’t want you to “tolerate them” — we want you to enjoy them. To come back for more. To pick your favorite like choosing between cheesecake and brownie.

Plus, we use natural, local ingredients, like Canary Island gofio or olive oil.

No unpronounceable chemicals. No weird sweeteners.

And if you’re picky about texture, you can play around with more or less water, plant-based milk, add ice or even coffee. Everyone has their own way of doing breakfast. But always tasty.

Important note: if taste is your barrier, start with the Taste Pack. Try several and decide for yourself. No cardboard involved.

5. “Breakfast doesn’t change my day”

A very common one.

“I can skip breakfast, it’s no big deal.”

“I’ll just grab a coffee mid-morning.”

And then…

  • Energy crash

  • Bad mood for no reason

  • Trouble focusing

  • Cravings at 1 p.m.

But you don’t link it to breakfast. Because you don’t notice it… until you do.

Eating breakfast isn’t just about not being hungry — it’s about keeping your body out of energy-saving mode.

That means better performance, sharper thinking, and arriving at lunch without the hunger of three people.

With Satislent, you get an easy breakfast that keeps you energized, focused, and avoids sugar spikes that leave you crashing later.

And the best part: you don’t need to be starving to enjoy it. A bar or a shake is enough to keep your engine running until mid-morning. No junk snacks, no vending machine temptation.

So, what now?

If you’ve seen yourself in one (or all) of these excuses, don’t worry. You’re not alone.

But if you’re looking for a way to have breakfast that fits your real life, doesn’t complicate things, truly nourishes you, and makes you feel good… you’ve found it.

Discover all the flavors and formats with Satislent’s Taste Pack.

Because breakfast doesn’t have to be expensive, boring, or complicated.

A good breakfast means a good start

We know you’re busy. Always on the go. Wanting to eat well, but not always able to.

And that’s okay.

But skipping breakfast isn’t the solution. It’s just a patch.

One that eventually takes its toll: physically, mentally… sometimes even emotionally.

With Satislent, you’re not just buying a shake.

You’re gaining time. Energy. Mental clarity. Freedom.

Because yes: eating well in the morning can be as easy as shake, drink, and get on with your day.

No excuses.

No drama.
