Check out nutritious breakfasts options for those quick and busy mornings!
We've all been there—your morning alarm goes off, and after hitting snooze a few times, you realize you have only 10 minutes to get ready and dash out the door. Weekday mornings can be rushed and tiring, often leaving little time to make a sit-down breakfast. Especially if you have kids, getting several servings of breakfast ready in time can feel overwhelming.
For those hectic mornings, here are four of my all-time favorite grab-and-go breakfast options that are not only nourishing but also easy to customize:
Overnight Oats
Overnight oats, prepared the night before, make an ideal grab-and-go breakfast for busy mornings. Simply toss ingredients like oats, your choice of milk, nuts/seeds, seasonings, and fruit into a jar, mix everything together, seal it with a lid, and store it in the fridge. Enjoy it as soon as you wake up.
The oats and nuts/seeds provide fiber and protein, keeping you full till your next meal. The fruit offers a dose of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Get creative and customize your toppings each week with options like creamy peanut butter, various fruits, granola, or pumpkin spice seasoning for fall.

Make-Ahead Egg Muffins
Egg muffins are a perfect example of cooking once and enjoying a protein-packed breakfast all week long. They're quick to batch cook and have ready for those rushed mornings.
To create egg muffins, chop up your choice of veggies and whisk together eggs with your favorite spices or herbs. Stuff each muffin cup on a muffin tin with veggies and pour the egg mixture over them. For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle some cheese on top and bake until the eggs are well-cooked.
These muffins can be stored in the fridge or freezer, making them easy to pop into the microwave for a speedy breakfast on your way out the door.

Veggie-filled Breakfast Tacos
Breakfast tacos are an easy-to-customize, simple, and healthy option to enjoy throughout the week. Start with a fiber-rich tortilla and fill it with protein-packed scrambled eggs or canned beans. Add your choice of veggies and finish with toppings like cheese or salsa.
These tacos are quick to assemble in the morning, but they also make a great make-ahead option that you can freeze for a convenient grab-and-go breakfast. Packed with protein and fiber, breakfast tacos are a delicious way to fuel your day and keep you energized.
Savory or Sweet Toasts
Upgrade your toast game with nutrient-dense toppings that go beyond the classic butter combo. Topping your toast with ingredients that provide protein, fiber, and healthy fats can keep you satisfied and energized throughout the day. Here are some delicious ideas:
Scrambled egg and avocado slices
Hummus Spread with sautéed spinach and mushrooms
Ricotta cheese and chia seed jam
Mashed avocado spread and seasoned canned chickpeas
Peanut butter with sliced almonds and banana slices.
This can be a quick put-together breakfast with endless variations!
