Grab-and-go breakfast doesn’t mean drive-thru sandwiches or sugary lattes! These homemade breakfasts on the go are perfect to make ahead of time and grab on the way out the door.
Breakfast on the go makes you feel good to eat!
As I got older, I had to accept a hard truth for myself: a drive-thru latte is not a proper breakfast.
Even though I’d like to be someone who only runs on coffee, it always sets me up for a bad day – and I feel like freezing a few hours before lunchtime.
Prepping some breakfast at home has become my alternative to those coffee shop breakfasts. Despite the advanced planning and prep work involved, once I have it packed and breakfast ready in the fridge, driving one of those takes less work than driving.
Of course, not every breakfast goes well. When I say grab and go – I want to be able to literally take it and walk out the door. These recipes are all worthy!
Peanut butter protein bars
These homemade protein bars are sturdy enough to throw into a purse, gym bag, or purse. They provide a lot of staying power and make a great breakfast when paired with fruit or yogurt.
A good banana muffin is hard to beat on a busy morning. These stay moist for days, freeze beautifully, and make the kitchen smell amazing as you bake. They are one of those recipes that should be made in double batches.
Who says cookies can’t be breakfast? Packed with oats and protein, these are filling enough to enjoy with coffee on a busy morning while still feeling like a treat.
Soft, naturally sweet, and easy to whip up, homemade fig bars are a great alternative to store-bought breakfast bars. They are also perfect for road trips, lunch boxes and afternoon snacks.
These protein-packed pouches are becoming popular for good reason. They’re incredibly easy to prepare and combine with everything from cream cheese to eggs and avocado.
If your mornings are particularly busy, breakfast burritos are one of the smartest recipes you can make. Freeze them separately, then reheat in minutes whenever you need a hearty breakfast.
Overnight oats can be the ultimate pre-breakfast. Mix everything together the night before, let the refrigerator do the work, and the next morning breakfast needs to be cooked from scratch.
