I like to start my mornings routine with a nutritious, healthy breakfast. However, that is not always so easy in today’s busy world. I am tired, and usually the stress from the day before hasn’t settled yet. My mornings used to be unstructured and stressful, even before I became a mom. Now, as a full time student with two kids, the need for structure and routine is non-negotiable.
Here are my 4 go-to breakfast options; Two I prep the night before and two that takes 5 minutes to make in the morning.
- Smoothie Bowl or Smoothie to-go:
This is my number one pick, both for enjoying at home and to bring when I don’t have time to eat before I need to go. - Yoghurt Bowl with toppings:
This is my quick option for mornings when I don’t have prepared breakfast in advance and need to eat something in 10 minutes. - Chia Pudding with toppings:
This is my first pick when it comes to breakfast meal prep. These are so versatile because I can flavor them in so many ways and it’s ready to eat from the fridge in the morning. - Overnight Oats:
This is kinda like chia puddings, only it’s oats. Same type of prep, but a little bit different to keep that emotional choice. I want routine, but I also like the thought that I have full freedom to choose what I want to eat from day to day. Also, oats and chia seeds have different health benefits so that is a bonus.
