Add new life to your meal prep routine with these quick and easy overnight oats that are packed with protein!
I looooooooove breakfast food! But, I am talking about a Paul Bunyon kind of breakfast – pancakes, hash browns, scrambled eggs, waffles, donuts, french toast, cinnamon rolls, tator tots, vegetarian sausage/bacon, and fresh orange juice.
There are two problems with my love of breakfast food: 1) I don’t have a lot of time in the morning to whip up anything more than a bagel, and 2) The only healthy option I listed was orange juice!
Prior to meal prepping, most of the time I just grabbed a bagel and some fruit. But, if you count calories than you know that bagels and just about anything you put on it is starting out your day short changing yourself on calories later in the day. And it’s not that filling, leaving me anxious for my next meal.
And I don’t know about you, but when I am packing breakfast or lunch in a dim light with one eye on the clock and the other barely open, I don’t usually make the best choices. I just grab whatever can be classified as breakfast!
I have the best start to my day, and week, when I make breakfast ahead of time! So let’s vow to never skip it or substitute it with an excuse. When your breakfast looks this good, you look forward to it!
