I’m definitely not gluten free. Or anti carb – I love carbs! (even if they don’t love me back). But after eating a bagel for breakfast every single day during the month of December (thanks Panera), I decided I needed a bagel break.
I am NOT a morning person. So I’m all about making things as easy as possible in the morning. I need my breakfasts to be something that can be prepped ahead of time or super quick to put together in the morning. Here are 3 healthy breakfast options that have made my month of no bagels a lot easier.
Eggs + Avocado
This has been my go-to breakfast this month. Its easy, yummy, and I can eat it whether I take the time to meal prep or not. If I have the time to plan ahead I’ll hard boil eggs for the week.
Otherwise, its microwave scrambled eggs to have breakfast ready in about a minute. Make sure to coat your microwavable bowl with butter or olive oil first. Then crack your eggs into the bowl, salt/pepper to taste, whisk. The microwave it for 30 seconds, mix it up and then put it back in for another 30 seconds.
And then just add avocado chunks (and some TJ’s everything bagel seasoning) and breakfast is ready!
Greek Yogurt Parfait
The first time I ate this breakfast was at the Chobani store in Soho years ago. Another simple, quick and delicious breakfast option.
Greek yogurt, honey, granola, fruit. My favorite is strawberries, and I like to wash and cut them ahead of time. Love the combination of sweet and creamy and crunchy. And greek yogurt is a great source of protein.
Egg Muffins
This is perfect for meal prepping ahead of time. In a bowl, scramble up some eggs, 2 per day. Add in any cheese, veggies, etc that you would eat in scrambled eggs or an omelet. My go to is spinach and feta.
All you need is a muffin pan – I use these non-stick silicone ones from Amazon. This way you don’t need oil/butter and its SO much easier to clean!
