Former White House chef Andre Rush worked under the administrations of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump and knows the importance of starting your day right.
While promoting his partnership with Southern Comfort for the brand's new Trail ReMix, Rush shared some of his go-to healthy, easy breakfasts.
Homemade energy drinks are Rush's go-to breakfast
Rush told Insider that he often makes homemade energy drinks for breakfast as a kind of "meal replacement." He fills them with wholesome ingredients like oats, quinoa, amaranth (a gluten-free grain rich in fiber and protein), heavy-pour yogurt, and organic peanut butter.
"I have it as my go-to because it has all of the essential energies, what I need, also is high in protein, and has my caloric intake as well," he explained.
He said he usually mixes one whole egg with additional egg whites or soft boils them since they "go down a lot easier" that way.
He sometimes switches things up with protein crepes
Rush told Insider that although people can "get caught up in that monotony" of having the same breakfast every day, he finds ways to keep his mornings feeling fresh and whimsical.

"Some people don't like breakfast for the beginning of the day - like 'Oh, breakfast is boring' - but breakfast, to me, is the furthest thing from boring that you could possibly have," Rush said.
Rush added that he sometimes makes protein crepes - which typically consist of egg whites and protein powder - to break out of a breakfast rut.
