They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And I have to agree with that. A good, healthy breakfast just lays the groundwork for how you eat for the rest of the day. When I'm not prepared in this area, I definitely feel it!
Breakfast is that meal I either rock, or fail miserably at. There really is no in-between for me. I am blessed and thankful that Hubby has joined me in eating the Trim Healthy Mama way. But, since he wakes up early in the morning for work, that means early mornings for me as well. Most mornings, we have little time before he has to be out the door. If I'm not on my breakfast game, he either goes without, or he grabs something not-so-optimal. Then, I end up just having coffee, starting my day, and not eating until lunch. So in order for us to be off to a good start, I have to be able to make something quick, or have things already prepared.
Be Prepared!
When I have a couple of breakfasts all ready to eat made ahead of time, that's when my week seems to go the smoothest. However, this doesn't always happen. Lately, I've been struggling. I know I'm not the only one who struggles with breakfast, so I asked for help from some Trim Healthy Mama recipe bloggers for this roundup. They were very generous and shared many of their favorite make-ahead breakfast recipes to have prepared for those busy mornings. In this post, I am excited to share with you what they came up with. Some I have made before and enjoyed, many are new to me and I'm excited to try!
As I said in my one and only recipe post, I am not by nature a recipe creator. So, I am so thankful for all of these creative bloggers who share their yummy, healthy recipes with the rest of us! Make sure to check out their blogs for all of the other recipes they have created as well.
Let's dive right in to what they came up with for make-ahead breakfasts!

Get Prepping!
There you have it! With 26 recipes here, there is no excuse to not be prepared for breakfast! As for me, I am definitely working my way through this list starting today! If you're new to food prep, pick just one or two of these recipes to make. Then see how much easier the next few mornings go when you have your first meal of the day all ready to grab or heat up quickly. If you're a prepping veteran, you know what to do, and I hope you found some new recipe inspiration here!
Talk to me in the comments! If you've tried any of these recipes, I would love to hear what you thought. Also, if there are any other recipes you use, or even super-quick things you do for breakfast in the morning, I would love to hear from you. And those of you who are already doing it, let me know how prepping has changed your mornings!
Have a great week, everyone!
