Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day and yet more than half of us still don’t eat breakfast everyday! Breakfast fuels your physical and mental energy by boosting concentration and keeping your metabolism humming all day. Studies show that eating breakfast is essential to losing and staying at a healthy weight. The morning rush can lead to grabbing an unhealthy alternative or skipping your breakfast altogether. Plan your breakfast ahead of time to ensure that you fill your tank in a nutritious way.

DELICIOUS SMOOTHIE: Add ingredients (fruit, juice, milk, yogurt, protein, chia seeds etc) into the blender and store in the fridge overnight so it’s ready to blend and go.
OVERNIGHT OATS YOGURT PARFAITS: Combine part rolled out with 1 part low-fat or soy/almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and your favorite add-ins like pecans, walnuts or almonds into a bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight. Scoop into bowl next morning.
HARD BOILED EGGS: Boil a batch of hard-cooked eggs and keep them in the fridge unpeeled for a grab and go protein that will fill you up for hours.
MAKE-AHEAD QUICHES: Crustless mini quiches are like portable omelets. Combine 5 eggs, 3 egg whites, 1 cup milk, whisk together and pour into prepared muffin cups. Add your favorite omelet fillings like, sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or low-fat cheese, and bake for 25 minutes. Let cool and individually wrap and refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
