Breakfast is one of the hardest meals for meal prep. And that\u2019s not because there are no breakfast ideas. It\u2019s because it\u2019s that meal when we are naturally so pressed for time because more often than not, we are trying to get out the door, not wind down for the day. The challenge is one of prioritization of time and energy. We feel the squeeze!<\/p>\n
This list is a compilation of personal favorites, member favorites, and members of the Workweek Lunch Instagram community, compiled over the years. We asked for suggestions about favorite go-to breakfasts and compiled a list of the answers. There is MUCH to work with here . . . wait till you see these breakfast ideas!<\/p>\n
There are lots of benefits to meal prepping breakfast:<\/strong><\/p>\n The holy grail of breakfast ingredients, indeed. Here are some of the meal ideas you can make with oats:<\/p>\n Wondering what bread to use?<\/strong> We like the generic whole wheat bread in grocery stores. But if you want something different in terms of grains or texture, try Dave\u2019s Killer Bread<\/a>, Ezekiel Bread<\/a>, Wasa Crackers<\/a> and Thomas\u2019 English Muffins<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can also make your own sandwich bread with our easy recipe!<\/a><\/p>\n My FAVORITE smoothie combo:<\/strong> banana, cold brew, cocoa powder, vanilla protein powder, and almond milk. It\u2019s like coffee and breakfast<\/a> all in one. It\u2019s hard to improve upon that.<\/p>\n My favorite yogurts<\/strong> are plain Fage, Chobani and Siggi\u2019s. And for nondairy yogurts, I love CoYo, Forager and Kite Hill.<\/p>\n VEGAN IDEAS<\/strong>: scrambled tofu<\/a>, scrambled chickpeas!<\/p>\n Waffles and pancakes<\/strong> are a kid-friendly AND freezer-friendly option for breakfast meal prep. Get on it!<\/p>\n My go-to breakfast are always: overnight oats, pancakes, frittatas, egg muffins and regular muffins. And of course a smoothie when I need it to be fast and loaded with everything I need!<\/p>\n If you found this master list of breakfast ideas helpful, save it for the next time you need an easy, quick breakfast idea.<\/p>\n Happy prepping!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
