    Bake these muffins ahead of time and freeze them. When you are looking for a quick breakfast, simply defrost one and enjoy!

    You can prep a lot of the ingredients in breakfast bowls ahead of time, making them a popular breakfast choice.

    Cauliflower Fiesta Rice Breakfast Bowl from The Foodie and the Fix - Get your veggie fix first thing in the morning. This meal will fill you up as you prepare to take on the day.

    Healthy breakfast on the go

    When I am having a busy morning, sometimes I don't even have time to sit down in the kitchen and eat. These are great options for when you are heading out the door.

    Overnight oats

    I love to make overnight oats in small mason jars and enjoy them on busy mornings.

    Easy Vegan Coconut Milk Overnight Oats from Beauty Through Imperfection - You can make these ahead of time and warm them up in the microwave in the morning or eat them cold. They are yummy either way!

    Sausage Breakfast Casserole from Mess for Less - You can substitute turkey sausage in this recipe to make it even better for you. This filling meal has eggs and veggies to keep you fuller longer.

    Egg muffins

    You can use a muffin tin to make an easy, portion controlled breakfast. You can make a dozen ahead of time and then just defrost as needed.

    Sausage Egg Muffins from Mess for Less - these muffins are a complete breakfast. You get bread, cheese, eggs and sausage in one muffin. Use turkey sausage for a more healthy option.

    Healthy Egg Muffins from Mess for Less - These are easy to make and are super filling. You can make a large batch and freeze them, and then just pop a few in the microwave when you are looking for a quick breakfast.

    As you can see, there is no reason to skip breakfast with these healthy breakfasts to make the night before. Enjoy your breakfast and get a good start to your day!

    Eat at Home Meal Plans

    I am a big fan of  Eat At Home Meal Plans. Are you stressed about the cost of eating out or trying to decide what to make for dinner each night? Sign up for the plans, and get access to 4 separate meal plans each month (Traditional, Wholesome Traditional, Slow Cooker, and No Flour/No Sugar). Just print the plans, color-coded grocery lists, and recipes you want for the month. Don’t worry, there are so many options, even picky eaters will find something they like.

    When it is time for dinner, make that night’s recipe (choices include make-ahead, freezer meals, slow-cooker recipes, and other time-saving strategies) and you are all set.

    I know you have more important things to do than meal planning. Let someone else do it for you with Eat At Home Meal Plans. Monthly, quarterly and annual plans are available.
