Aries: Huevos Rancheros

With so much on your (figurative) plate, you need all the hours in the day to accomplish your hefty to-do list. As such, you'll need a breakfast packed with plenty of hearty protein to keep you moving all day long. And, of course, a little kick of spice doesn't hurt. Huevos rancheros is a Mexican breakfast classic with eggs, tortillas, and pico de gallo. It'll fill you up without weighing you down, and did we mention that it's vegetarian-friendly, too?
Taurus: Pancakes

It's not that you're lazy or unambitious (though some may assume otherwise), you just like to take your time to chew things over (no pun intended). A delicious stack of homemade pancakes is perfect for you. Sweet and indulgent, this is the type of meal you can linger over with a hot cup of coffee to slowly start your day.

So, the next time you're out and about and looking for a quick bite to refuel, start your day with a classic bagel and schemer—toasted to perfection, slathered with delicious cream cheese, and wrapped to-go.

Sagittarius: Donuts
sara_winter/iStockYou're not really a morning person or a night person, Sagittarius. You're more of a "whenever the action is happening" type of person.

Your go-to meal needs to be available at any hour, and it certainly wouldn't hurt to have something just as sweet and fun as you. That's why no matter where you find yourself, donuts will always be a good choice. With so many different flavors and styles globally, you're sure to find this sweet treat no matter where you travel.

A blueberry muffin strikes the perfect balance for your sensible side. Sure, it's not something you'd eat every day, but that's what makes it a special treat. Plus, it's quick and easy to eat on the go, so you can get back to being the boss as soon as possible.
