3 Easy Breakfast Recipes To Jump Start Your Day
These are 3 of our absolute favorite non-smoothie breakfasts that can be made the night before, stored for 3-4 days, and provide long lasting, nutrient rich fuel with recipes that don’t take hours! Non only that - these are all easy to take on the go! They make the breakfast something we really look forward to but they can also be the perfect snack!
Overnight Chia Seed Pudding
We love making this simple chia pudding recipe and then having it for breakfast throughout the week. Top it with whatever you like (granola, fruits, nuts, etc). All you have to do is mix the following ingredients together and let them sit overnight. You can make it in a mason jar and add any fruits/nuts you like for quick grab and go nutrient rich snack or breakfast! We like to add fresh slices of bannana in the morning, but raspberries and blueberries work well to mix in the night before! Full RECIPE HERE!
1/2 cup of chia seeds
2 cups of almond milk
2 tsp of vanilla extract
2 tbsp of maple syrup
Granola and Greek Yogurt
Super simple, super delicious. Make a big batch of our homemade granola and use it to top a serving of greek yogurt. Filling and satisfying! Just make sure you also top it with any seasonal fresh fruits you like. Again - easy to put in a mason jar and grab on the go. Make sure you find a greek yogurt that’s not too heavy in sugar (look for less than 8 grams per serving). You also want a thick creamy option that’s packed with the gut healthy probiotics you need as well as protein! We like Oikos non-fa, plain greek yogurt but there are plenty of options out there. The ones that add fruit are likely not the best option.

Mason Jar Omellette
This recipe serves 4 and you can get really creative with how you make it! Change up the toppings, make it in a mason jar, a casserole dish, or a muffin pan for even easier on the go munching! The recipe below is a super clean / delicious one from Confessions of a fat fit foodie. The best!
Ingredients
6 extra large eggs
1/3 cup of unsweetened original almond milk or milk of your choice
2 cups of cauliflower rice
1 cup of diced bell peppers or veggies of your choice
6 slices of turkey bacon, crumbled, or 6 links of diced poultry breakfast sausage
2/3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese or cheese of your choice (you can double this amount and just count it as a full blue)
salt/pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray four, 12 oz or larger mason jars liberally with cooking oil spray.
Add ½ cup of cauliflower rice to each jar and sprinkle with salt. Next, add in veggies and breakfast meat.
Scramble eggs and whisk in milk. Divide egg mixture evenly among the 4 jars. Again, sprinkle with a little salt.
Top evenly with shredded cheese and bake on a baking sheet uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until egg is set and the cheese begins to brown.
Cool completely, then cover and store in the fridge for 3-4 days. To warm, remove cover and heat in the microwave for 1 minute.
The discovery of making little portable egg omelettes the night prior is life changing! You can also choose to use only egg whites and remove turkey bacon as well as cheese + add more veggies to stay super low cal.
