Are you hitting a breakfast slump? Cereal will always be a timeless classic, but there are days where you may feel you need more than a familiar bowl or milk and cereal for breakfast. Mornings can be chaotic and pressed for time, but there are many quick breakfast options that beat out the basic granola bar and banana. These healthy breakfast ideas are great to make ahead and grab on the go!
Baked Oatmeal
Instant oatmeal is convenient and fast but not always tasty. Many brands offer cup versions of instant oatmeal too, but I find that they still seem to fall short of fresh oatmeal. If you don’t have time to stand in front of the stove and make steel cut oatmeal, baked oatmeal is a great alternative. You will instantly notice the difference and it reheats really well. Goodbye boring instant oatmeal and hello comforting oatmeal bake!

Breakfast Burritos
Instead of stopping by the nearest coffee shop or fast food place, make your breakfast burritos ahead of time. They’re incredibly easy to make and taste delicious. I recommend storing the salsa on the side so it keeps better in the fridge or freezer.

Breakfast Bars
It may seem silly to make your own breakfast bars when they’re many options at the grocery store, but trust me, it’s well worth it. You’re able to control the amount of sugar and keep them free of preservatives. It’s also fun to customize them to your own taste!

Do you remember tapioca pudding? Chia seed pudding is a similar and healthier alternative that promises a unique texture. Like overnight oats, the pudding can be prepared very quickly and the flavor options are endless.
