Here’s a useful list of Healthy Breakfast Options to help you plan and prepare morning meals in advance. A small time investment in breakfast planning can reap big rewards in terms of enjoyment as well as essential nutrition to get the day started off right and refuel for the day ahead.
Also, pairing your breakfast with fresh fruit is always a great option.
Finding the time to prepare and eat a healthy breakfast can be challenging. Here is a list of breakfast options so you can plan ahead:
1. Breakfast from the Freezer
Smoothie packets: Freeze the fruits and vegetables that you need for your favorite smoothie in individual portions so that all you have to do in the morning is add the liquids/add-ins and blend.
Pancakes and waffles: Make a large batch of whole grain pancakes or waffles over the weekend and freeze in a freezer bag with a sheet of freezer paper between each. Defrost in the toaster or microwave and top with walnuts and fruit, nut butter, and banana slices, or your family’s favorite toppings.
Breakfast egg cups in a muffin tin: You make these ahead of time and freeze them, and since it yields six egg cups (or more, depending on how large your muffin tin is), that’s six breakfasts that you can have stored and ready in the freezer.
