How many kids do you have? If you said anything more than zero, you probably spend an outrageous amount of time on breakfast each day. Do you know though that there are some awesome ways to cut down on this time each day?
I began following these tips years ago and breakfast is a breeze for us now!
Save Time on Breakfast with These Tips
Meal Prep
I know that I harp on this often, but meal prepping can change your life. I’m not being dramatic at all, I’m being completely serious. When you prep your meals for the week over the weekend, you have no need to spend time cooking and prepping each morning. Here are some of the meals that we like to prep in advance
- Egg muffins. Mix some eggs or egg whites with cheese and meat if you want it added in. Pour into a muffin tin and bake. You can keep these in the freezer and pull a couple out each night for breakfast in the morning.
- Breakfast burritos. Mix some potatoes, eggs, meat and cheese into a skillet meal and wrap in a tortilla once done. Wrap tightly and store in the freezer, taking out the night before for breakfast in the morning.
- Muffins. Get that muffin tin out again, because muffins are always a great, simple breakfast! My kids love blueberry muffins so I like to make those and keep them in the freezer individually wrapped.
- Smoothie ingredients. Place the ingredients of a smoothie in a freezer bag and in the morning, pour the ingredients into a blender with some milk (cows milk, almond milk, etc). This is a quick way to make a yummy breakfast drink that you can enjoy on the go!
Cereal
I know that you want your children to eat a nutritious and protein packed breakfast, but sometimes a bowl of cereal is just fine. I have seen countless mom-bashing incidents online so I get why people are stressed about it, but I assure you. A simple breakfast such as this does not make you a bad parent I promise.
