Grab And Go Breakfast
Do you take the time to properly nourish your body? Plan out meals ahead of time? Eat in a peaceful setting? Or, are you the type to be staring in the fridge wondering what you should eat? Only to grab a banana or a piece of toast as you walk out the door? If this is you, you are in luck! Here are a few easy grab and go breakfast ideas that are not only easy to prepare, but are also full of protein and goodness.
Mornings define our day. It’s all about how we start every morning. So, get up and make a good start of yet another beautiful day…. Anonymous
My week varies from day to day. Some mornings, I am home and able to make a healthy breakfast and other days, I am at work before 6:30 am. Those latter mornings do make it more difficult to properly eat.
Over the years, I have come to develop the habit of using Sunday’s as a meal prep day. I sit down and plan out the week’s dinner menu and my grocery list. I also prep fruit so it is on hand, make energy bites for fast protein, and often have a variety of breakfast items created for those grab and go mornings.

My go-to breakfast items:
- Fruit
- Hard boiled eggs
- Bite size energy bites
- Egg bites
- Smoothies
- Overnight oats
- Dairy free yogurt
Each of these items are simple to make – simple to store – and simple to grab and go.
