18+ Grab and Go Breakfasts

These recipes, 18 Grab and Go Breakfasts, help you save time in the morning while still enjoying a healthy, tasty meal. Start the morning off with a filling and healthy breakfast packed with good-for-you nutrients.

Some people need a bite to eat in the mornings to get them going. Some people had rather save time and wait until lunch. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Some research suggests that regularly eating a healthy breakfast may help you lose excess weight and maintain your weight loss. But other research suggests that skipping breakfast may not be bad for you and may also help with weight control.”

What makes a breakfast good for you?

A healthy breakfast includes a mix of fiber, protein, and healthy fats from foods like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean protein. This helps keep blood sugar steady, provides energy, improves focus, and can support weight management while lowering the risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes. (source) 

18 Good-for-you Grab and Go Breakfasts

Whether you are a breakfast eater or not, one fact remains true. The majority of people just don’t have time for breakfast. At least they don’t have time to make a big, elaborate, time-consuming breakfast. By planning ahead just a few minutes at night or on Sunday you can start your day off right.

Just because you sleep those extra five 15 minutes doesn’t mean you can’t eat healthily. That’s where I come in. I collected these healthier recipes that are prepped or made early so that in the morning you can just grab them and go. Eat them on the way to work or stash them in your briefcase until mid-morning. As well, they make great pick-me-up afternoon snacks!

These meals are also great if you’re a snacker (like me). Having something healthy to nibble on is much better than grabbing a handful of chips!
