Running out the door and convinced there's no time for a homemade breakfast? Prepped to pick up a quick bite on the way to work or school or skip the most important meal altogether? While these are easy solutions, try your hand at some grab-and-go breakfast ideas that prove there's always time for a homemade bite first thing in the A.M.
We gathered our all-time favorite quick and easy breakfasts, from easy and sweet muffins that can be baked up the night before to hearty high-protein egg recipes you can stash in the freezer. The secret to an easy grab-and-go breakfast? Meal prep is one! Batch up baked goods like fruit-packed scones, spiced cinnamon coffee cake or chocolate muffins (that are secretly packed with fiber and veggies!) the weekend before you need them, then keep in resealable bags. Or build breakfast burritos or sandwiches, wrap and store in the freezer. When you're ready to eat, just reheat these high-protein breakfasts in the microwave.
Another great hack to getting breakfast ready fast to take to work (or for the kids!) is a speedy, nutrient-packed smoothie. Prep all your fruits in freezer-safe containers the night before, then in the A.M. blend and hit the road. Check out these meal-prep-friendly recipes to find your new favorite breakfast!
