Many Americans believe that eating breakfast is an excellent way to start your day. Yet, only 44% eat breakfast every day. It could be for many reasons, such as having a busy lifestyle or a hectic morning schedule. Breakfast kickstarts your body’s metabolism and has been linked to overall good health in the long run. So, how can you ensure you don’t miss out? The answer is simple: prepare your breakfast ahead of time. Here are a few meals to help you get started.
Overnight oats
The good thing about oats is that they are easy to prepare and do not require much time and effort. It is the perfect make-ahead breakfast for you, especially if you return home after a long day and are too winded to cook dinner, much less your breakfast for the next day.
To ensure that this meal can last a few days in your refrigerator, you must use old-fashioned rolled oats. It is a pretty simple recipe. All you’ll need is oats, your choice of dairy or dairy-free milk, and, if you like, some yogurt. You can also include toppings like dried fruit, fresh fruit, maple syrup, as well as healthy nuts and seeds to give you more fiber and keep you full for most of your day.
Chia Seed Pudding
Chia seed has been around for a couple of years now and remains a popular food choice for many people partly due to its unlimited uses and health benefits. Plus, you can include them in a bunch of different meals. If you’ve joined the chia seed train, then the good news is that you can try out this make-ahead chia seed pudding breakfast. That’s when it’s even more delicious!
It is really simple to prepare and can take as little as five minutes. lus, you wouldn’t need that many ingredients to make the perfect pudding. All you’ll need is some chia seeds, a sweetener, and some milk. If you want an extra kick of flavor, you can include maple syrup or honey. But the best part is that you can add just about any topping you want, whether it’s peanut butter, fresh berries, nuts, chocolate shavings, or coconut flakes.

Spinach, Tomato and Feta Frittata Squares

The best thing about this dish is that it can be cooked ahead and stored in your refrigerator for a couple of days. All you have to do is reheat in the microwave, and you’re good to go!
