We've all done it. Grabbed an apple or a banana as we race out the door to catch the 7:18 am train. Or drop the kids at school. Or shop for groceries. Or hit the gym. Or any myriad of other things that seem to need our attention in the morning more than sitting down and eating breakfast.
It's a universal thing. If breakfast is anything to go by, the world has been rushing for a very long time. Some hand-held breakfasts date back generations, maybe even centuries. This is good news for us because once you dig into one of these on-the-go morning meals, you'll never be stuck with a boring old piece of fruit again.
