Here are more Healthy Breakfast Options to help you plan ahead:
Muffins: Make your favorite whole grain muffins and freeze them to easily defrost for a delicious homemade breakfast.
Whole grain English muffins: We like to keep whole grain English muffins frozen to use as a quick breakfast food. They can be used with a microwave scrambled egg and grated cheese to make a breakfast sandwich, or use it as you would use toast, waffles or pancakes.
Egg and English muffin sandwiches: Make these sandwiches ahead of time with a low-fat meat option and freeze for a fast microwavable breakfast.
2. Breakfast from the Refrigerator
Overnight oatmeal: Make breakfast while you sleep! Overnight oatmeal is delicious, filling, nutritious, and so quick to make. Make it the night before in individual servings and you’ll have a breakfast that requires no preparation in the morning.
Yogurt and fruit parfait: Make a few yogurt and fruit parfaits the night before and add granola to the top in the morning if desired.
Hard-cooked egg: You can hard-cook eggs on Sunday for several uses during the week, such as a fast breakfast or for use in green salads or tuna or chicken salad.
Cheesestick: If we are truly rushing, grabbing a cheese stick (with or without pizza dipping sauce, which is a favorite in our home), along with a box of raisins or a banana fulfills our breakfast dash needs.
3. Breakfast from the Microwave
Microwave scrambled egg: Beat two eggs, two tablespoons of milk, and salt and pepper to taste in a microwave safe 12-ounce mug or bowl. Microwave on high for 45 seconds, stir, and then microwave 30-45 seconds more or until the eggs are cooked. One of our favorite ways to serve this egg is wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla with shredded cheese and salsa. It’s so quick and oh so good!
