Morning Fuel in Minutes

Skipping breakfast or grabbing something unhealthy is easy when mornings are rushed. But with a little strategy, you can have nutritious, delicious breakfasts ready in 10 minutes or less.

Prep-Ahead Options

Overnight Oats

The ultimate grab-and-go breakfast. Combine before bed:

• ½ cup rolled oats
• ½ cup milk (any kind)
• ¼ cup yogurt
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• Sweetener to taste

In the morning, top with fruit, nuts, or nut butter. Lasts 3-4 days refrigerated.

Egg Muffins

Bake a batch on Sunday for the week. Whisk eggs with vegetables, cheese, and meat. Pour into muffin tins and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. Refrigerate and reheat as needed.

Smoothie Packs

Portion fruit and spinach into freezer bags. In the morning, dump into blender with liquid and protein. Blend and go.

5-Minute Breakfasts
